#1. Wesley Harris (6'8''-F-1997, played in 2016-17, plays pro in Israel) led Hapoel Haifa to a victory over the eighth-ranked Ramat Hasharon (3-3) 93-77 in the Israeli National League (second division) in Friday night's game. He was MVP of the game. Harris had a double-double by scoring 25 points and getting 12 rebounds. He also added 3 assists in 37 minutes. Hapoel Haifa (5-1) is placed second in the National League. It was his team's fourth consecutive victory in a row. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. Harris has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 18.8ppg, 7.8rpg, 2.8apg, 1.2bpg and 1.2spg in six games he played so far.

He scored 10 points, had 9 boards, handed out 6 passes and blocked 2 shots. KK Metalac Farmakom Valjevo (2-4) is placed 11th in the KLS. It was his team's first victory after three consecutive loses.
