29-year old American swingman Austin Wrighten (192-G/F-1996) had an amazing evening in the last round for Deportivo San Jose Asuncion and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 11.
He had the game-high 25 points adding seven rebounds and three assists for San Jose in his team's victory, helping them to beat Pinheiros (#4, 0-2), the league's bottom-ranked team 87-82. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. San Jose is placed at 3rd position in Liga SudAmericana. San Jose 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. In the team's last game Wrighten had a remarkable 57.1% from 2-point range. He turned to be San Jose's top player in his first season with the team. Austin Wrighten averages just after two games 16.5ppg. Worth to mention Wrighten played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which helped him get the job in pro basketball.

Second best performed player last round was Caua De Souza (184-PG-2005) of Esporte Clube Pinheiros Sao Paolo. He is a guard in his first season at Pinheiros. In the last game De Souza recorded an impressive 22 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists. Bad luck as Pinheiros lost that game 82-87 to slightly higher-ranked San Jose (#3, 1-1). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Pinheiros still maintains its place in the top 4 of the standings, even despite this loss. 2 lost games are too many considering they did not win any game. De Souza is a newcomer at Pinheiros and quickly became one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Kiandre Gaddy (198-F-2001, agency: BIG) of league's second-best Colegio Los Leones de Quilpue. Gaddy scored 18 points. Despite Gaddy's great performance the Los Leones lost 55-67 to #1 ranked Regatas. But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. The last thing Los Leones needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 1 victory and 1 lost game. Gaddy has a very solid season. In 2 games in Liga SudAmericana he scored 15.5ppg.

Other top performing players last week:
4. Guillermo Aliende (178-PG-1997) of San Jose - 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists
5. Luis Santos (203-C-1994) of Regatas - 14 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists
6. Ramon Sanchez (194-F-1991) of San Jose - 14 points

9. Gabriel Peralta (203-F-1995) of San Jose - 7 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists
10. Raven Barber (206-F/C-1991) of San Jose - 10 points and 2 rebounds

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)
