Facundo Sanz
25-year old forward Facundo Sanz (197-F-1996, agency: BIG) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Saracho and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 3.
He had a double-double of 32 points and 11 rebounds, while his team outclassed, the league's bottom-ranked team Tenis (#8, 0-2) with 36-point margin 94-58. Saracho is placed at 5th position in Bolivian league. Saracho is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 1-1 record. In the team's last game Sanz had a remarkable 90.0% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Saracho and just after two games he already turned to be a very valuable addition to the team. Sanz has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (3rd best: 26.0ppg), rebounds (5th best: 11.5rpg) and averages solid 2.0bpg,82.4% FGP and 62.5% from behind 3-point line.
Second best performed player last round was Francisco Bonja of UNITEP. He is Argentinian in his first season at UNITEP. In the last game Bonja recorded impressive double-double of 19 points and 13 rebounds. Bad luck as UNITEP lost that game 86-92 to San Simon (3-0). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Bonja is one of the most experienced players at UNITEP and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 22.3ppg (#8). He also registered 16.0 boards per game.
Third place about best performers goes to center Ronald Farmer-Blanchard (208-C-1991) of Tenis (#8). Farmer-Blanchard scored 20 points and grabbed twelve rebounds (!!!). Despite Farmer-Blanchard's great performance Tenis lost 58-94 to Saracho (#5, 1-1). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. Tenis can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have awful season losing so far all 2 games. Farmer-Blanchard has a very solid season. In 2 games in Bolivia he scored 14.0ppg.

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)
