Venezuelan Yohanner Sifontes (192-G-1995) had an amazing evening in the last round for UniFacisa Paraiba and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 21.
The 30-year old guard had the game-high 26 points adding three rebounds and three assists for UniFacisa in his team's victory, helping them to beat Cruzeiro (#14, 6-13) 85-77. The game was not the highest importance and did not have significant influence on top of the standings. UNIFACISA is placed at 10th position in Brazilian NBB. UniFacisa 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 9-10 record. In the team's last game Sifontes had a remarkable 70.0% from 2-point range. He turned to be UNIFACISA's top player in his first season with the team. Yohanner Sifontes averages this season 13.3ppg, 5.1rpg and 4.5apg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young American point guard Michael Dupree (185-PG-1995) of Fortaleza B.C. Cearense. Dupree impressed basketball fans with 29 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. Bad luck as Fortaleza lost that game 81-99 to the higher-ranked Minas (#3, 16-3). Cearense is still in a red zone at 16th spot in the standings. 15 lost games are too many comparing to just four victories Fortaleza managed to get this year. Dupree is a newcomer at Cearense 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 16.6ppg (#4). His other stats are also decent: 5.3rpg and 3.6apg.

The third best performed player last round was Sergio Conceicao (209-C-2000) of R10 Score Vasco da Gama Rio de Janeiro (#20). Conceicao scored 26 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. Despite Conceicao's great performance the Vasco lost 80-102 to the higher-ranked Flamengo (#2, 17-2). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. Vasco can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have extremely bad season and 2-17 record places them at the very bottom of the standings. Conceicao has a very solid season. In 7 games in Brazil he scored 18.0ppg. He also has 6.9rpg and a FGP of 57.1%.

4. Alexsander Vernizz (184-PG-2000) of Vasco - 20 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists
5. Tulio Da Silva (203-F-1996) of Cruzeiro - 20 points, 9 rebounds and 3 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)
