#1. Zac Cuthbertson (6'7''-F-1996, played in 2015-16, plays pro in France) led ES Chalon-Sur-Saone to a surprising victory over the third-ranked Monaco (21-9) crushing them 90-65 in the French Betclic ELITE ProA last Saturday. He was MVP of the game. Cuthbertson scored 21 points and grabbed 7 rebounds in 30 minutes. ES Chalon-Sur-Saone (15-15) is placed ninth in the Betclic ELITE ProA. His team will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And that game will be critical. It's Cuthbertson's first season with the team. Cuthbertson has relatively good stats this year 10.8ppg, 4.7rpg, 2.0apg and 1.1spg in 29 games he played so far.

Reynolds recorded a double-double by scoring 31 points and getting 10 rebounds. He also added 6 assists, 2 blocks and 3 steals. It was the game of the round between two top 2 ranked teams in Division Southwest. The PrimeTime Players have a very solid 10-2 record this season. It was his team's fifth consecutive victory in a row. There are only three games left until the end of the ECBL Regular Season. So now every game is very crucial. Reynolds has individually a very good season with high stats. He averages 32.8ppg, 9.2rpg, 4.9apg and 1.8spg.

Givens also added 4 boards, handed out 4 passes and blocked 2 shots in 40 minutes. Givens has very impressive stats this year 15.3ppg, 4.8rpg, 4.1apg and 1.2spg in 15 games.
