Former international Forward Pablo Espinoza (200-F-87) had an amazing evening in the last round for league's second-best Salta Basket and that's him to receive a Latinbasket.com Player of the Week award for round 1. The 30-year old forward had a double-double of 25 points and ten rebounds, while his team beat Atenas (#4, 0-1), the league's bottom-ranked team 76-66. Salta Basket is placed at 2nd position in their group in Argentinian LigaA. But it's just the very beginning of the season and Salta Basket won just one (their first) game. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. In the team's last game Espinoza had a remarkable 88.9% from 2-point range. He turned to be Salta Basket's top player in his first season with the team. Espinoza has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (4th best: 25.0ppg) and averages solid 3.0spg,88.9% FGP and 60.0% from behind 3-point line.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 29-year old American power forward Justin Keenan (202-F/C-88) of second-ranked San Martin C.. Keenan impressed basketball fans with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Of course San Martin C. cruised to a 85-74 relatively comfortable win over La Union (0-1). His team has extremely good start of the season. They won their first game. However the season is at the beginning, so everything can happen. They still may lose their high position in the standings. Keenan is a newcomer at San Martin C. 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 American Dar Tucker (193-SG-88) of second-ranked San Lorenzo. Tucker scored 26 points. He was a key player of San Lorenzo, leading his team to a 81-79 win against Obras Basket (#5, 0-1). San Lorenzo has a very good start of the season. But there was just one game played, so it's too early to judge them at this stage. Tucker also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. The season just started for Tucker as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.
Other top performing players last week: 4. Maurice Kemp (203-F-91) of Obras Basket - 20 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists 5. Franco Balbi (185-PG-89) of Ferrocarril - 18 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists 6. Torin Francis (210-C-83) of Quimsa - 13 points and 14 rebounds 7. J.J. Moore (198-F/G-91) of Comunicaciones - 29 points and 5 rebounds 8. Rigoberto Mendoza (190-G-92) of Estudiantes C. - 20 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists 9. Mariano Fierro (200-F-86) of Boca Jrs - 9 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists 10. Novar Gadson (201-G-89) of Quimsa - 19 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists
The Player of the week is chosen based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc. The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues. We got involved many basketball scouts and journalists to assure it's accuracy. The formula: 1.5*PTS + 3* (REB+AST+ST+BL-TO) - 2*BSAG - 4*PF + 3*PFRV + 4* (2FGPM+3FGPM) + 1.5*FTM - 3* (2FGPA-2FGPM) - 3* (3FGPA-3FGPM) - (FTA-FTM)
