Lucas Silva (208-C-1995) had an amazing evening in the last round for league's leader Sesi Franca Basquete Sao Paulo and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 11.
The 28-year old center had a double-double of 21 points and 13 rebounds, while his team crushed Obras (#2, 2-2) with 24-point margin 118-94. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed Vivo/Franca to consolidate first place in the Basketball Champions League Americas. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Sesi Franca already had a very good start winning all 4 without losing a single one. Silva has many years of experience at Vivo/Franca, through which he has constantly improved. Silva has impressive league stats. He is league's best scorer averaging so far 18.5ppg. Silva is in league's top in rebounds (2nd best: 10.5rpg) and averages solid 1.5bpg and 57.1% from behind 3-point line.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young Cuban center Ismael Romero (205-C-1991) of Real Esteli. Romero impressed basketball fans with 25 points and 8 rebounds. Bad luck as Real Esteli lost that game 79-104 to slightly higher-ranked Halc.Xalapa (2-2). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Real Esteli still maintains its place in the top 3 of the standings, even despite this loss. His team's 2-2 record is not bad at all. Romero is a newcomer at Real Esteli and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 19.5ppg (#4). He also registered 7.5 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was another Sesi Franca's star - Marcio Santos (204-F/C-2002). Santos showcased his all-around game by recording 21 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in the last round. He was another key player of Sesi Franca Basquete Sao Paulo, helping his team with a 118-94 easy win against #2 ranked Obras. Vivo/Franca started extremely well this year. They recorded 4 victories without losing a single game. Santos turns to be one of the very best players in the league while he is also a leader of the top team having his eyes on the championship title. The season just started for Santos as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be another team's leader.

4. Wesley Ferreira (200-PF-1995) of Sesi Franca - 18 points and 7 rebounds
5. Alexis Elsener (195-F-1988) of Halc.Xalapa - 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists

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)
