He was MVP of the game. Scott-Grayson recorded 33 points (!!!) and grabbed 7 rebounds (made all of his ten free throws !!!) in 33 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his third season in pro basketball. Zorg and Zekerheid Leiden (6-1) is placed fourth in the BNXT League. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen.
