The star player in this week's Team of the Week is Sheffield Sharks playmaker Ryan Patton, who displayed his haunting long range shooting ability with a 44 point haul in the Sharks 89-108 win over the Cheshire Jets last weekend.
Whilst he knocked down all six of his field goal attempts, and sunk 100% of his shots from the charity stripe, the most outstanding statistic is that the former Worthing Thunder and Sheffield Arrows guard hit 10/14 from three point land, and played in all but 21 seconds of the game. Jessie Sapp is this week's other guard, as both he and Mike Copeland feature for the Glasgow Rocks after their 111-59 win over the Worcester Wolves at Kelvin Hall on Sunday. Sapp posted an impressive double-double of 31 points and 11 assists, on 11/12 field goal shooting. He also grabbed 7 rebounds and 8 steals. Copeland meanwhile, bagged himself 26 points, on 13/16 field goal shooting, and was one rebound off a double-double with 9 boards, as well as 3 blocked shots.
The Guildford Heat put an end to the Marshall MK Lions recent winning ways on Saturday evening, with a 93-82 victory. This earned former GB International Mike Martin, a spot on this week's star studded team of five, as he scored 26 points, nailing all 8 free throws, as well as grabbing 11 rebounds.
Completing Team of the Week #10 at Centre, is the Newcastle Eagles' Lynard Stewart, who put in a 20 point performance against the Jelson Homes DMU Leicester Riders on Saturday night. The Eagles won the contest, as the 6'8'' American also dished out 5 assists.
