SPAIN: “German Center Tibor Pleiss (217-C-89) had an amazing evening in the last round for second-ranked FC Barcelona, receiving a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 11.
The 25-year old player had a double-double of 15 points and 11 rebounds, while his team crushed CAI Zaragoza (#6, 6-5) with 23-point margin 90-67. FC Barcelona is placed at 2nd position in Spanish Liga Endesa. They are still close to the very top. FC Barcelona would have been even better if they kept winning the games like in the last round. They have a solid 9-2 record. In the team’s last game Pleiss had a remarkable 71.4% from 2-point range. It was one of impressive evenings for him as usually he does not deliver so high stats. Tibor Pleiss averages this season 6.5ppg.”
