43-year old point guard David Monterroso (180-PG-1979) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Halcones and receives a Hoops Agents Liga Metropolitana Player of the Week award for round 3.
He had the game-high 27 points adding eight rebounds and two assists for Halcones in his team's victory, helping them to outclass Jaguares (#2, 2-1) with 28-point margin 95-67. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Thanks to this victory Halcones moved-up to the 4th position in Guatemalan Liga Metropolitana. Halcones 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 1-1 record. It's Monterroso's second year at Halcones and it's hard to imagine this team without him.
Second best performed player last round was Luke Garrison of league's second-best Jaguares. He is a in his first season at Jaguares. In the last game Garrison recorded impressive double-double of 22 points and 13 rebounds. Bad luck as Jaguares lost that game 67-95 to Halcones (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. Garrison is one of the most experienced players at Jaguares and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 23.7ppg (#1). His other stats are also decent: 12.7rpg and 4.7apg.
Third place about best performers goes to Juan Aguilar05 (2005) of Forza (#3). Aguilar05 scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds. He was a key player of Forza, leading his team to a 99-31 easy win against Delfines (#6, 1-2). Forza needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 1 victory and 1 lost game. The season just started for Aguilar05 as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.

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)
