Franco Barroso
28-year old center Franco Barroso (207-C-1994) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for league's best team Liceo PN and receives a Hoops Agents LNB 2 Player of the Week award for round 3.
He had a double-double of 16 points and 16 rebounds, while his team outclassed Aleman (#2, 2-1) with 60-point margin 92-32. It allowed Liceo PN to take over top position in the Chilean LNB 2. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Liceo PN already had a very good start winning all 3 without losing a single one. Barroso just recently signed at Liceo PN, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Barroso has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (5th best: 16.7ppg), rebounds (2nd best: 16.0rpg) and averages solid 2.3bpg and 61.5% FGP.
Second best performed player last round was Andres Lavin (F-1995) of Tomas L.. He is a forward in his first season at Tomas L.. In the last game Lavin recorded impressive 21 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists. Bad luck as Tomas L. was edged by Liceo Curico (1-1) 80-78. 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. Lavin is a newcomer at Tomas L. and quickly became one of team's most reliable players.
Third place about best performers goes to forward Heder Louis (F) of Liceo Curico (#5). Louis scored 13 points and grabbed eighteen rebounds (!!!). He was a key player of Liceo Curico, leading his team to a 80-78 win against Tomas L. (#7, 0-3). Liceo Curico needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams in Zona Sur. Their record at this point is 1 victory and 1 lost game. The season just started for Louis as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.

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)
