Former international Pavel Marinov  had a very impressive game in the last round for league's second-best Balkan and that's him to receive a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 25. The 26-year old had the game-high 42 points adding four rebounds for Balkan in his team's victory, helping them to beat Yambol  93-86. Balkan maintains the 2nd position in Bulgarian NBL. In the team's last game Marinov had a remarkable 58.3% from 2-point range and got five three-pointers out of 7 attempts. It's his second year at Balkan and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Marinov has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (7th best: 16.3ppg), assists (7th best: 3.0apg) and averages solid 56.7% FGP and 48.9% from behind 3-point line.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 25-year old former international power forward Stanislav Vaklinov of Spartak Pleven.
