Martin Rojas

25-year old forward Martin Rojas (195-F-1998) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's best team Bigua and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 7.
He had a double-double of 17 points and 12 rebounds, while his team crushed, the league's bottom-ranked team Caballeros with 25-point margin 86-61. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed Bigua to consolidate first place in the Liga SudAmericana. In the team's last game Rojas had a remarkable 87.5% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Bigua, through which he has constantly improved. Rojas has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (4th best: 17.0ppg), rebounds (3rd best: 12.0rpg) and averages solid 87.5% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Eloy Vargas (211-C-1988, agency: BIG) of Titanes. He is Dominican Rep. center in his first season at Titanes. In the last game Vargas recorded impressive double-double of 15 points and 18 rebounds. Of course Titanes cruised to a 72-61 relatively comfortable win over Carrib.Storm (#4, 0-1). Vargas is a newcomer at Titanes and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 15.0ppg (#9). He also registered 18.0 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to another Titanes' star - swingman Jonathan Rodriguez (196-G/F-1987). Rodriguez scored 28 points and grabbed six rebounds. He was another key player of Titanes, helping his team with a 72-61 win against Carrib.Storm. Titanes 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. Rodriguez also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. The season just started for Rodriguez as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be another 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)
