American Forward Keaton Hervey (201-F-1998) had a very impressive game in the last round for Sportiva Italiana Valparaiso, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 20.
The 25-year old player had a double-double of 29 points and 13 rebounds, while his team beat Catolica (#11, 6-17) 89-76. Sportiva Italiana is placed at 8th position in Chilean LNB. Sportiva Italiana 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 9-12 record. In the team's last game Hervey had a remarkable 66.7% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Sportiva Italiana, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Former Oakland University star has very solid stats this year. Hervey is in league's top in points (3rd best: 19.3ppg) and rebounds (3rd best: 10.1rpg).

The second best player in last round's games was young American Alani Moore II (178-PG-1998) of league's second-best Colegio Los Leones de Quilpue. Moore II had a very good evening with 21 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists. It was enough for Los Leones to edge the lower-ranked Puente Alto (#7, 10-12) 77-72. Los Leones' second position in the standings has not changed. His team lost just four games this season, while they won 19 matches. Moore II is a newcomer at Los Leones, but is already one of team's top players.

Third on the list of top players last round was international guard Franco Morales (181-PG-1992) of league's top team Asociacion Basquetbol Ancud. Morales scored 21 points and passed 9 assists. He was a key player of Ancud, leading his team to a 87-85 win against the lower-ranked Puerto Varas (#10, 9-13). Ancud confirms their top position in the standings. Morales has a great season in Chile. After 22 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in assists with 7.3apg (best passer).

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)
