31-year old forward Jenifer Munoz (170-F-1991) had an amazing evening in the last round for league's best team Indeportes and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
She had a double-double of 24 points and 10 rebounds, while her team crushed Hormigas ILBS (#3, 4-3) with 22-point margin 72-50. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed Indeportes to consolidate first place in the Colombian LSBF. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. It's already very far into the season and Indeportes keeps a perfect 7-0 record. In the team's last game Munoz had a remarkable 77.8% from 2-point range. She turned to be Indeportes' top player in her first season with the team. Munoz has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in points (4th best: 13.3ppg), assists (8th best: 2.1apg) and averages solid 59.5% FGP.
Second best performed player last round was Carolina Lopez (188-F-1998) of Medellin. She is international forward in her first season at Medellin. In the last game Lopez recorded impressive 24 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Bad luck as Medellin was edged by the higher-ranked Power (#2, 5-2) 66-62. This loss caused Medellin to drop to 5th position in the standings. 5 lost games are too many comparing to just two victories Medellin managed to get this year. Lopez is a newcomer at Medellin and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 13.0ppg (#3). Her other stats are also decent: 8.3rpg and 4.4apg.
Third place about best performers goes to forward Stephany Mayo (F-1993) of Cundinamarca (#4). Mayo showcased her all-around game by recording 17 points, eighteen rebounds (!!!) and four assists in the last round. She was a key player of Cundinamarca, leading her team to a 66-65 win against Medellin (2-5). Cundinamarca can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have rather bad season and 2-5 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Mayo has individually a great season in Colombia. After only 6 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 12.8ppg (7th best), rebounds with 18.5rpg (#1 in league) and assists with 2.5apg (7th best).

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)
