International Guard Izabela Nicoletti (178-G-1999) had an amazing evening in the last round for league's second-best Unimed Campinas Basquete and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 16.
The 26-year old guard had a double-double of 26 points and 10 rebounds, while her team outclassed Salvador (#10, 1-16) with 36-point margin 97-61. Campinas maintains the 2nd 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 14-3 record. It was one of impressive evenings for Nicoletti as usually she does not deliver so high stats. Izabela Nicoletti averages this season 9.4ppg and 5.6rpg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young American guard Jayla Crawford (170-G-2000, agency: Interperformances) of Sodie Mesquita. Crawford impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 30 points and 10 rebounds. Of course Mesquita cruised to a 82-73 relatively comfortable win over slightly lower-ranked Recife (#9, 3-15). 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 7-10 record. Crawford 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 24.0ppg (#1). She also registered 5.7 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was Brenda Bleidao (177-SF-2003) of AD Santo Andre (#5). Bleidao showcased her all-around game by recording 19 points, 13 rebounds (!!!) and 5 assists in the last round. She was a key player of Santo Andre, leading her team to a 72-54 easy win against the lower-ranked Maringa (#8, 3-15). Santo Andre needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 9 victories and 8 lost games. Bleidao has a great season in Brazil. After 16 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 7.9rpg (8th best).

4. Jenyff Moura (185-C-2001) of Recife - 26 points and 11 rebounds

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)
