American Guard Wesley Russell (193-G-93) had an amazing evening in the last round for top-ranked Botafogo F.R., receiving a Latinbasket.com Liga Ouro Player of the Week award for round 11. The 23-year old player was the main contributor (31 points, six rebounds and four assists) to his team's victory, helping them to beat Joinville (#4, 10-8) 88-82. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed Botafogo F.R. to consolidate first place in the Brazilian Liga Ouro. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Botafogo F.R. has a very solid 15-5 record, but they cannot be too comfortable about keeping top position. In the team's last game Russell had a remarkable 61.1% from 2-point range. It was one of impressive evenings for him as usually he does not deliver so high stats. Former Ohio Christian University star has very solid stats this year. Russell is in league's top in rebounds (9th best: 5.9rpg) and assists (8th best: 2.5apg). Worth to mention Russell played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which helped him get the job in pro basketball.
The second best player in last round's games was another Botafogo F.R.'s star - 27-year old Abner Moreira (206-F/C-89). Moreira had a very good evening with a double-double of 23 points and 10 rebounds. Of course together with Russell he helped Botafogo F.R. with another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Brusque (#6, 1-17) 87-66. Of course Botafogo F.R. still keep the league's top spot. His team has currently 15-5 record. Moreira is a newcomer at Botafogo F.R. and despite he is not a team leader yet, every game he becomes more reliable player. Hopefully performances like the last one will happen more often.
Third on the list of top players last round was guard Lucas Vezaro (188-G-96) of Joinville (#4). Vezaro scored 24 points. Despite Vezaro's great performance Joinville lost 82-88 to #1 ranked Botafogo F.R.. But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. The last thing Joinville needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 10 victories and 8 lost games. Vezaro has a great season in Brazil. After 17 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 15.4ppg (2nd best).
Other top performing players last week: 4. Jamaal Smith (175-PG-85) of Botafogo F.R. - 12 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists 5. Willian da Silva (200-SF-81) of Brusque - 20 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists 6. Tarvin Gaines (198-SF-91) of Blumenau - 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists 7. Maxwell Dias (198-SF-91) of Joinville - 19 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists 8. Deonta Stocks (185-G-88) of Blumenau - 16 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists 9. Luiz Semmke (197-SF-92) of Blumenau - 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists 10. Jose Victor Jeronimo (208-C-91) of Joinville - 12 points and 7 rebounds
The Player of the week is choosen 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)
