American Guard Deshawndre Washington (201-G) had a great game in the last round for Halcones Rojos de Veracruz and receives a Hoops Agents LNBP Player of the Week award for round 19.
He had the game-high 25 points adding eight rebounds and eight assists for Halc.Rojos in his team's victory, helping them to beat Lobos BUAP (#14, 5-11) 87-76. The game rather meaningless between the teams, which do not have any influence on top of the standings. Halcones Rojos is placed at 13th position in Mexican LNBP. Halc.Rojos is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 5-9 record. Washington turned to be Halcones Rojos' top player in his first season with the team. Deshawndre Washington averages this season 29.3ppg, 6.0rpg and 5.0apg.

Second best performed player last round was Egidijus Mockevicius (208-C-1992) of El Calor de Cancun. He is Lithuanian center in his first season at El Calor. In the last game Mockevicius recorded an impressive double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds. Of course El Calor cruised to a 83-74 relatively comfortable win over the higher-ranked Halc.Xalapa (#7, 8-4). El Calor's 11th position in the standings has not changed. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 6-9 record. Mockevicius is a newcomer at El Calor and quickly became one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to swingman Stedmon Lemon (198-F/G-1992) of Panteras de Aguascalientes (#4). Lemon scored 20 points and passed 4 assists. He was a key player of Panteras, leading his team to a 86-76 win against #2 ranked Astros in a game of the week. Panteras needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 10 victories and 6 lost games. Lemon has a great season in Mexico. After 16 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 14.9ppg (8th best).

4. Gael Bonilla (204-G/F-2003) of Diablos - 13 points and 8 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)
