Naturalized Italian Izabella Sangalli (182-SF-1995) had a great game in the last round for Unimed Campinas Basquete and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 19.
The 29-year old had the game-high 26 points adding eight rebounds and seven assists for Campinas in her team's victory, helping them to beat SESI (#3, 13-4) 78-68. Campinas is placed at 5th position in Brazilian LBF. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Campinas will need more victories to improve their 11-8 record. In the team's last game Sangalli had a remarkable 61.5% from 2-point range. She turned to be Campinas' top player in her first season with the team. Sangalli has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in points (2nd best: 19.6ppg) and averages solid 2.5spg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young forward Marcella Prande (180-F-2005) of AD Santo Andre. Prande impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 17 points and 13 rebounds. Of course she led Santo Andre to another comfortable win outscoring slightly lower-ranked Maringa (#11, 1-19) 80-60. The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. Santo Andre keeps 9th position. Her team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 6-13 record. Prande is one of the most experienced players at Santo Andre and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

The third best performed player last round was another Santo Andre's star - Brenda Bleidao (177-SF-2003). Bleidao scored 20 points and grabbed 13 rebounds (!!!). She was another key player of AD Santo Andre, helping her team with a 80-60 easy win against slightly lower-ranked Maringa (#11, 1-19). The chances of Santo Andre not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 13 games, recording just six victories. With bigger assistance of her teammates, Bleidao could try to bring Santo Andre's a little bit higher in the standings. Bleidao has individually a great season in Brazil. After 15 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 7.5rpg (9th best).

Other top performing players last week:
4. Maisa Dias (2002) of Campinas - 22 points and 7 rebounds
5. Thayna Silva (180-F-1996) of Sampaio - 25 points and 7 rebounds

8. Gabriela Guimaraes (180-C/F-1996) of Sampaio - 13 points and 8 rebounds

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)
