(Central News Agency reporter Chen Jung-chen, Taipei 10th) The Taiwan Professional Basketball League (TPBL) today announced its Foreign Player of the Year award. Lasannah Kromah, the foreign player who helped the Taoyuan Leopards win the regular season championship, easily took home this honor, backed by his dual titles as the season's scoring leader and steals leader.
Kromah, who has dominated the TPBL league's scoring and steals charts for two consecutive years, played in 30 games this season, putting up all-around stats of 24.2 points, 7 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 2.8 steals per game. He demonstrated high influence on both offense and defense, becoming one of the league's most representative all-around foreign players, helping the Leopards advance to the playoffs as the regular season's top seed.
Notably, as the offensive core of the Leopards, Kromah is not only the main source of scoring firepower but also plays a key role in driving the team's offense-to-defense transitions. With his ability to quickly push the ball after steals, he has repeatedly initiated counter-attacks for the team. His ability to finish in critical moments is particularly noteworthy, having been named Player of the Week twice and Foreign Player of the Month once.
The TPBL league pointed out that Kromah topped the comprehensive weighted evaluation by media and fans with a total share of 45.1%, beating Hsinchu Jko Lioneers' foreign player Drew Pember and New Taipei CTBC DEA's foreign player Marko Todorovic. It also mentioned that the Foreign Player of the Year evaluation considers not only statistical performance but also the impact on team record and game influence, and Kromah's all-around contribution on both offense and defense received high consensus from the judges.
