SPAIN: “German Tibor Pleiss (215-C-89) had a great game in the last round for Laboral Kutxa and that’s him to receive a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 34.
The 24-year old center had the game-high 19 points adding six rebounds for Laboral Kutxa in his team’s victory, helping them to crush Fuenlabrada (#16, 12-22) with 18-point margin 95-77. Laboral Kutxa maintains the 6th position in Spanish Liga Endesa. They would have been even better if they hadn’t lost a few games earlier this season. It’s Pleiss’ second year at Laboral Kutxa and it’s hard to imagine this team without him. Pleiss has impressive league stats. He is in league’s top in rebounds (7th best: 6.6rpg) and averages solid 1.2bpg and 60.8% FGP.” more…
