Kayla's extraordinary performance

From Eurobasket News:

26-year old forward Kayla Pedersen (193-F-89, agency: LBM Management) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for second-ranked Lucca and receives a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 8.

She had a double-double of 18 points and 19 rebounds, while her team crushed Torino (#10, 3-5) with 21-point margin 60-39. Lucca maintains the 2nd position in Italian Serie A1. They maintain perfect record without any lost game in the league. It's already very far into the season and Lucca keeps perfect 8-0 record. Pedersen turned to be Lucca's top player in her first season with the team. Kayla Pedersen averages this season 15.0ppg and 7.9rpg.

Amber hitting her stride

Amber, who starts as the shooting guard for Vigarano in Italy, had trouble finding her touch in her first professional season. She averaged just 5.5 points and 3.3 rebounds per game in the first six games of the season.

But she found her touch in the seventh game last week. She hit just one of five from beyond the arc, but was a perfect ten of ten on 2-pointers and two of two at the line for a total of 25 points. And she grabbed a season-high eight rebounds.

And, yes, that is Reshanda Gray in the photo, trying for a defensive stop.

Nneka lighting it up in EuroLeague

Nneka not only earned Player of the Week status in the Russian league last week, she also received high praise from FIBA basketball specialist Paul Nilsen for her performance in the third week of EuroLeague:

There was little surprise to see Nnemkadi Ogwumike once more hogging the headlines with another scintillating experience.

Individual performance of the week: There is no looking past Dynamo Kursk forward Nnemkadi Ogwumike as the popular choice for her fantastic double-double against Schio of 27 points and 16 rebounds. It was also the highest individual score of the season so far.
