Experienced American Eddie Ishman (197-G/F-1986) had an amazing evening in the last round for league's leader AD Isidro Metapan and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Liga MB Player of the Week award for round 1.
The 37-year old swingman had a double-double of 26 points and 17 rebounds, while his team edged out Brujos (#8, 0-1), the league's bottom-ranked team 74-70. It allowed Metapan to jump to the first place in the Salvadorean Liga MB. But it's just the very beginning of the season and Metapan won just one (their first) game. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. In the team's last game Ishman had a remarkable 76.9% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Metapan and it was his first game, where he immediately became new team's leader. Miles College graduate has very impressive stats this year. Ishman is in league's top in points (4th best: 26.0ppg), rebounds (3rd best: 17.0rpg), assists (7th best: 5.0apg) and averages solid 3.0bpg and 76.9% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young American power forward Nick Moore (198-PF-1991) of Fantasmas De San Vicente. Moore impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 29 points and 18 rebounds. Bad luck as Fantasmas lost that game 75-91 to San Salvador (1-0). 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. Moore is one of the most experienced players at Fantasmas and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 29.0ppg (#3). He also registered 18.0 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was American Timothy Simmons (195-PF-1992) of MC El Brasil Santa Ana (#4). Simmons showcased his all-around game by recording 24 points, 12 rebounds (!!!) and 9 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Santa Ana, leading his team to a 73-66 win against A.Lobos (#7, 0-1). Santa Ana has a very good start of the season. But there was just one game played, so it's too early to judge them at this stage. Simmons also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. The season just started for Simmons as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.

4. Andravious Smith (198-G/F-1995) of Santa Tecla - 36 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists
5. Jeremy Agosto (177-G-1997) of San Salvador - 31 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists

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)
