Kennedy Burke can be credited with being the main force behind an incredible upturn in form from Villeneuve d'Ascq LM who now look like bonafide Quarter-Finals material. Indeed Burke had the highest performance efficiency valuation of 22.3 after accruing 16.7 points, 8.3 boards. 3.7 steals and 2.7 assists per game.
ZVVZ USK Praha forward Nyara Sabally featured last month as well, with her continued presence being largely down to playing a prominent role in the Czech side going unbeaten in December. She came up with the goods after delivering a performance efficiency valuation of 17.5 off the back of an average of 15.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals.
Finally, Brianna Fraser has been instrumental in a successful month for KGHM BC Polkowice who continue to try and realize their dream of making the post season.
