International Point guard Devorn Benjamin (182-PG-1995) had an amazing evening in the last round for second-ranked Stingerz, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
The 27-year old player was the main contributor (28 points, three rebounds and seven assists) to his team's victory, helping them to outclass Slam (#6, 2-5) with 39-point margin 105-66. Stingerz maintains the 2nd position in Antiguan ABBA. They are still close to the very top. Stingerz would have been even better if they kept winning the games like in the last round. They have a solid 6-1 record. In the team's last game Benjamin had a remarkable 75.0% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Stingerz, through which he has constantly improved. Devorn Benjamin has solid league stats. He is in league's top in points (5th best: 15.1ppg).
The second best player in last round's games was another Stingerz's star - Tequan Brodie. Brodie had a very good evening with a double-double of 29 points and 10 rebounds. Of course together with Benjamin he helped Stingerz with another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Slam (#6, 2-5) 105-66. Stingerz's second position in the standings has not changed. His team lost just one game this season, while they won 6 matches. Brodie is one of the most experienced players at Stingerz and similarly like Devorn Benjamin has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.
Third on the list of top players last round was another Stingerz's star - Jayden Andrew. Andrew showcased his all-around game by recording 8 points, eight rebounds and sixteen assists (!!!) in the last round. He was another key player of Stingerz, helping his team with a 105-66 easy win against the lower-ranked Slam (#6, 2-5). Stingerz is closer and closer to top of the standings. They will still need more victories. But 6-1 record is not that bad... Andrew has a great season in Antigua. After only 6 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 19.8ppg (2nd best) and assists with 9.3apg (best passer). He also has 4.5spg and FGP: 50.7%.

The Player of the week is selected 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)
