BASKETBALL First round end shows City Oilers are still the real deal
The big question which remains unanswered, however, is who will stop City Oilers and when?
There were some top performers from the first 11 games, and Pulse Sports brings you the leaders from the different statistical categories.
Titus Lual
When Titus Lual joined City Oilers from UCU Canons, he was expected to fit in well at his new home.
Having played for the club in the Basketball Africa League Qualifiers, Lual and the Oilers players had already forged chemistry.
And going by statistics, the centre was the most efficient player in the first 11 games of the season.
At 218.0, Lual is ahead of second-placed Peter Cheng (204.0) of the Namuwongo Blazers and UCU Canons' Peter Sifuma (187.0).
City Oilers' Ruai Luak (183.0) and Our Savior's Moses Mugisha (180.0) complete the top five.
