There are only three games left until the end of the TBL Regular Season. So now every game is very crucial. This season Rhyan has very high stats. He averages 20.4ppg, 4.7rpg, 4.4apg and 2.7spg. Rhyan is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top summer league for players who want to play basketball overseas.

Lish was the top scorer with 25 points. But Hitech lost 82-88 at home to the second-ranked Kings. His team will play only one more game in the Basketball Champions League Asia Regular Season. And now that game is quite important. Lish has relatively good stats this year 12.8ppg, 2.4rpg, 1.6apg and 1.4spg in five games. He is a naturalized Thai.
