15-year old forward Emily Gonzalez (F-06) had an amazing evening in the last round for Viejo W. and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 1.
She had a double-double of 19 points and 17 rebounds, while her team lost the game against Punto R. (#3, 1-1) 59-79. Viejo W. maintains the 5th position in Ecuadorian Liga Femenina. Too late to salvage the team, which is currently ranked at the very bottom. They already lost 2 games and recorded no victories. In the team's last game Gonzalez had a remarkable 70.0% from 2-point range. She turned to be Viejo W.'s top player in her first season with the team. Gonzalez has impressive league stats. She is league's best scorer averaging so far 20.0ppg and leads league in rebounds with 15.0rpg. Gonzalez is in league's top in and averages solid 73.7% FGP.
Second best performed player last round was Allison Alvarado (C-99). She is a center in her first season at Viejo W.. In the last game Alvarado recorded impressive 21 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Bad luck as Viejo W. lost that game 59-79 to Punto R. (1-1). 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. Alvarado is a newcomer at Viejo W. and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 13.5ppg (#5). She also registered 4.5 boards per game.
Third place about best performers goes to Dayanna Salcedo (176-C/F-89) of league's leader Bocca. Salcedo scored 9 points and grabbed eight rebounds. She was a key player of Bocca, leading her team to a 61-52 win against #2 ranked Fuerza M. in a game of the week. Bocca has a very good start of the season. But there were just 2 games played, so it's too early to judge them at this stage. Salcedo also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. Salcedo has a great season in Ecuador. After only 2 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 13.5ppg (3rd best) and rebounds with 9.5rpg (5th 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)
