  • Darius Defoe
    Consistently proved to be a dominant force around the basket, slam dunking his way to the top of the leaderboard. His high rebound total, high shooting percentage and extra bonus point slam dunks set him ahead of all competition.

  • Pierre Henry-Fontaine
    Great all around play saw Pierre score highly across a number of different areas. Good 3 point shooting (which earns an extra bonus point), strong rebounding and more made baskets than anyone else helped Pierre to a 2nd place finish on the leaderboard.
  • Matthew Bryan-Amaning
    Matthew's length and athleticism helped him block shots, secure rebounds and continue to score at a high percentage. Though he was not on the leaderboard going into the last 2 hours of the night, a strong push in the last hour saw him shoot up to number 3.
  • Keith Phillips
    Perhaps the biggest surprise of the night, Keith's ability to play the team game and make very few mistakes was rewarded with a top 4 finish on the leaderboard. Keith played on a team that won 6 games in a row, while making very few points-deducting errors. Seems like his strategy worked, as he wins his way through the Finals Night in Brixton on the 19th of August.
  • Ibrahim Gariba
    The high rising athlete from North West London made his impact felt on both ends of the floor – blocking shots at one end, then running the full length of the floor to throw down a vicious dunk at the other. Blocks + Dunks = points + points! Full of unrealised potential, Ibrahim will definitely surprise some people on finals night.
  • Lekan Popoola
    Another slight surprise who crashed the leaderboard party for a 6th place finish. Lekan’s gritty determination saw him hustle his way up the scoring ladder. Steals, assists and team wins were the foundation to Lekan’s success – proving you can succeed by playing great defense too!
  • Mansour Mbye
    The 6'5" force of nature secured rebounds, wins and scored close to the basket on the high percentage shots. Played consistently well throughout the night for a well deserved spot in the Finals.
  • Dapo Fagbenle
    Long, lean rebounding machine. The most amazing statistic for Daps entry onto the leaderboard is the fact that he only put the ball in the basket 4 times all night long! However, what he did do, and did well, was rebound better than anyone else on the night, plus block shots, collect team wins and make very few mistakes or turnovers. Smart strategy paid off for the North West London youngster.
  • Samuel Toluwase
    The Beast from the East. Sam’s strong, powerful dunks got him bonus point after bonus point after bonus point after…(you get the idea!). Sam's dunks were complemented by good rebounding and steal on the defensive end of the floor.
  • Junior Williams
    The savvy veteran hit 3 pointers, pulled off crossovers, buried jumpshots and fired assists to highflying team mates all night long. Decided to "sit" on his score with 3 hours remaining, believing he had done enough to stay on the leaderboaard. Looks like he was right. Guaranteed to please in the Finals on the 19th August.
  • Marcus Knight
    It all came down to the last game of the night. Marcus was in a 2 way tie with Darren Sutherland. Both players went head to head to decide who would make it through to the final spot. Marcus, as ever, delivered. Sharp shooting has always been the Knight Rider's calling card, this time was no different. Marcus will be a player to watch out for come Finals Night.
