Best players of Liga SudAmericana round 4 (by Hoops Agents)

Yuliany Paz

Yuliany Paz (195-F-2000) had a great game in the last round for league's second-best Indeportes and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 4.
The 22-year old forward had the game-high 13 points adding eight rebounds for Indeportes in her team's victory, helping them to crush, the league's bottom-ranked team UDJ (#4, 0-1) with 17-point margin 66-49. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Indeportes is placed at 2nd position in Liga SudAmericana. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. But it's just the very beginning of the season and Indeportes won just one (their first) game. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. It's Paz's second year at Indeportes and it's hard to imagine this team without her. Paz has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in points (8th best: 13.0ppg) and averages solid 2.0bpg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young point guard Agustina Marin (170-PG-2003) of Dep.Berazategui. Marin impressed basketball fans with 23 points and 4 rebounds. Bad luck as Dep.Berazategui was edged by league's leader Bucaros (#1, 1-0) 71-69. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Dep.Berazategui still maintains its place in the top 3 of the standings, even despite this loss. 1 lost games are too many considering they did not win any game. Marin is a newcomer at Dep.Berazategui and it seems she did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 23.0ppg (#1).

The third best performed player last round was Wendy Coy (178-F/C-1998) of top-ranked Bucaros. Coy scored 12 points and grabbed nine rebounds. She was a key player of Bucaros, leading her team to a 71-69 win against #3 ranked Dep.Berazategui. Bucaros 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. Coy also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. The season just started for Coy as she played only first game. But it already looks like she 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)
