Jenifer Munoz (170-PF-91) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's second-best Leonas and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 2.
The 29-year old power forward had the game-high 21 points adding four rebounds and six assists for Leonas in her team's victory, helping them to outclass Pastoras de Lara (#1, 0-2) with 28-point margin 93-65. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Leonas maintains the 2nd position in Liga SudAmericana . But it's just the very beginning of the season and Leonas won both games without losing any. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. In the team's last game Munoz had a remarkable 71.4% from 2-point range. She just recently signed at Leonas and just after two games she already turned to be a very valuable addition to the team. Munoz has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in points (5th best: 14.0ppg) and averages solid 50.0% from behind 3-point line.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 32-year old American power forward Jacinta Monroe (196-F/C-88, agency: Basket Promotion Agency) of league's best team Audaz. Monroe impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds. It was enough for Audaz to edge Carl A-Z (0-2) by 5 points 67-62. Her team has extremely good start of the season. They won both games so far. However the season is at the beginning, so everything can happen. They still may lose their high position in the standings. Monroe is one of the most experienced players at Audaz and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 10.5ppg (#9). She also registered 8.5 boards per game.
The third best performed player last round was another Audaz's star - American Shacobia Barbee (179-G/F-94). Barbee scored 22 points and grabbed six rebounds. She was another key player of Audaz, helping her team with a 67-62 win against #3 ranked Carl A-Z in a game of the week. Audaz 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. Barbee also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. Barbee has a great season in Liga SudAmericana. After only 2 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 20.0ppg (2nd best) and rebounds with 7.5rpg (4th 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)
