It was another breathtaking weekend of BCB action as the league prepares for its pivotal second part of the season.

In week 10, there were some fantastic performances, and we’ve narrowed it down to the top five.

Hafeez Abdul (Newcastle Knights) 

Since arriving back on Tyneside earlier in the season, Hafeez Abdul has further strengthened the Newcastle Knights’ title credentials, and Abdul was sizzling this weekend against Derby Trailblazers and Reading Rockets.

Abdul hit nine triples against the Trailblazers on his way to 42 points and 11 rebounds. He also had two assists and two steals in the 94-85 victory. The British wing then connected on another five three-pointers for 20 points in the 95-93 success over the Reading Rockets.

The skilled guard had 29 points, eight rebounds and five steals in the win. Sadly for the Rockets, their northern odyssey didn’t end with two wins, but Olarerin added 21 points in the loss to Newcastle.
