International Gabriela Guimaraes (180-C/F-1996) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's leader Sampaio Basquete and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 2.
The 28-year old had the game-high 31 points adding eight rebounds and five assists for Sampaio in her team's victory, helping them to outclass, the league's bottom-ranked team Santo Andre (#11, 0-2) with 43-point margin 106-63. It allowed Sampaio to jump to the first place in the Brazilian LBF. The season is still on an early stage, but Sampaio already had a very good start winning all 3 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Guimaraes had a remarkable 100.0% from 2-point range. She just recently signed at Sampaio and just after two games she already turned to be a very valuable addition to the team. Guimaraes has impressive league stats. She is league's best scorer averaging so far 26.0ppg. Guimaraes is in league's top in assists (9th best: 4.5apg) and averages solid 85.0% FGP and 75.0% from behind 3-point line.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young Italian Izabella Sangalli (182-SF-1995) of Unimed Campinas Basquete. Sangalli impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 25 points and 15 rebounds. Bad luck as Campinas lost that game 72-94 to Sampaio (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. Sangalli is a newcomer at Campinas and it seems she did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 24.0ppg (#2). She also registered 14.5 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was Ariadna Felipe (180-G/F-1983) of second-ranked Corinthians. Felipe showcased her all-around game by recording 22 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in the last round. She was a key player of Corinthians, leading her team to a 82-53 easy win against Blumenau (#9, 0-2). Corinthians has a very good start of the season. But there were just 2 games played, so it's too early to judge them at this stage. Felipe also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. Felipe has a great season in Brazil. After only 2 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 9.0rpg (7th best).

Other top performing players last week:
4. Vanessa Goncalves (180-F-1994) of Sampaio - 21 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists
5. Carina Martins (171-G/F-1992) of Sampaio - 18 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists
6. Vitoria Domingos (181-PF-1996) of SESI - 25 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists

10. Maisa Marcal (178-G-2000) of Ourinhos - 17 points, 3 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)
