22-year old Hector Chur (1999) had a great game in the last round for league's best team Halcones and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 4.
He had the game-high 23 points adding six rebounds and two assists for Halcones in his team's victory, helping them to beat Villa Nueva (#6, 1-1) 71-66. It allowed Halcones to consolidate first place in the Guatemalan league. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Halcones already had a very good start winning all 3 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Chur had a remarkable 54.5% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Halcones, through which he has constantly improved. Chur has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (3rd best: 21.7ppg) and averages solid 56.0% FGP and 44.0% from behind 3-point line.
Second best performed player last round was Fredy Estrada (1998) of Villa Nueva. He is a in his first (recently joined) season at Villa Nueva. In the last game Estrada recorded impressive double-double of 19 points and 17 rebounds. Bad luck as Villa Nueva lost that game 66-71 to league's leader Halcones (#1, 3-0). This loss caused Villa Nueva to drop to 6th position in the standings. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 1-1 record is not bad and everything may still change. Estrada is one of the most experienced players at Villa Nueva and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.
Third place about best performers goes to Henry Cisneros of Circulo (#7). Cisneros scored 14 points and grabbed six rebounds. He was a key player of Circulo, leading his team to a 69-63 win against Monjitas BTC (#8, 0-3). Circulo can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have rather bad season and 1-3 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Cisneros has a very solid season. In 3 games in Guatemala he scored 9.0ppg.

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)
