The 17-year old guard had the game-high 31 points adding eight rebounds and seven assists for Crvena Zvezda in his team's victory, helping them to beat Valencia (#3, 0-2), the league's bottom-ranked team 84-71. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed Crvena Zvezda to consolidate first place in the Adidas Next Generation Tournament. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. But it's just the very beginning of the season and Crvena Zvezda won both games without losing any. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. In the team's last game Topic had a remarkable 63.6% from 2-point range. He turned to be Crvena Zvezda's top player in his first season with the team.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young guard Savo Drezgic (187-G-2006) of Partizan BG. Drezgic impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 23 points and 10 rebounds. Bad luck as Partizan BG lost that game 64-73 to league's leader NGTB (#2, 2-0). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Partizan BG still maintains its place in the top 4 of the standings, even despite this loss. 2 lost games are too many considering they did not win any game. Drezgic is a newcomer at Partizan BG and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders.
The third best performed player last round was Bogoljub Markovic (204-F-2005) of top-ranked Mega BG. Markovic scored 16 points and grabbed eight rebounds. He was a key player of Mega BG, leading his team to a 103-58 easy win against #3 ranked Venice U18. Mega BG has a very good start of the season. But there were just 2 games played, so it's too early to judge them at this stage. Markovic also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. The season just started for Markovic as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.
