#1. Malik McKinney (6'3''-G, played in 2019-23, plays pro in Australia) was the major contributor in a Hume City Broncos' victory against the closely-ranked Storm (2-3) 81-73 in the Australian Big V (third division) on Sunday night. He recorded 21 points and grabbed 8 rebounds in 36 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only McKinney's first season in pro basketball. Hume City Broncos (3-2) are placed fifth in the Big V. It was his team's third consecutive victory in a row. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. McKinney has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 19.4ppg, 6.6rpg and 3.2apg.

Despite Watson's good performance P.Zvaigzdes was crushed116-77 at home by the higher-ranked (#8) Jonava. He recorded 10 points and added 3 assists. There are only two games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. It's Watson's first season with the team. Watson has very impressive stats this year 15.4ppg, 2.2rpg and 3.8apg in 28 games he played so far. He is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top summer league for players who want to play basketball overseas.
