Experienced International Power forward Leticia Rodrigues (187-F/C-1995) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Unimed Campinas Basquete and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 13.
The 30-year old power forward had a double-double of 20 points and 15 rebounds, while her team beat Sampaio (#1, 14-1) 79-68. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Campinas maintains the 3rd position in Brazilian LBF. They are still close to the very top. Campinas would have been even better if they kept winning the games like in the last round. They have a solid 12-2 record. Rodrigues just recently signed at Campinas, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Rodrigues has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in points (9th best: 14.4ppg) and averages solid 59.4% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young American swingman Connie Clarke (178-G/F-2001, agency: Interperformances) of Sodie Mesquita. Clarke impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 19 points and 14 rebounds. Of course she led Mesquita to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Salvador (#10, 1-14) 89-60. Mesquita's 7th position in the standings has not changed. Her team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 5-10 record. Clarke is one of the most experienced players at Mesquita and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 16.5ppg (#2). She also registered 9.5 boards per game. Missouri Western State University alumni Clarke played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which is considered top summer league for players who want to play basketball overseas.

The third best performed player last round was international center Monique Soares (190-C-1996) of top-ranked Sampaio Basquete. Soares scored 11 points and grabbed 15 rebounds (!!!). She was a key player of Sampaio, leading her team to a 80-45 easy win against the lower-ranked Maringa (#8, 3-12). Many experts and fans count Sampaio as a contender for championship title. Another victory and another confirmation that they may be right. Just look at their record: 14 victories and only one lost game. They are currently at the very top of the standings. Soares has a very solid season. In 6 games in Brazil she scored 10.3ppg. She also has 9.3rpg, 1.2bpg and a FGP of 59.5%.

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)
