Experienced American Daniel Bejarano (193-G-1991) had an amazing evening in the last round for league's leader Fuerza Regia Monterrey and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents LNBP Player of the Week award for round 21.
The 33-year old guard had the game-high 24 points adding nine rebounds for Fuerza Regia in his team's victory, helping them to beat Mineros (#7, 9-7) 77-71. It allowed Fuerza Regia to consolidate first place in the Mexican LNBP. Fuerza Regia have a solid 13-3 record. In the team's last game Bejarano had a remarkable four three-pointers out of 8 attempts. It was one of impressive evenings for him as usually he does not deliver so high stats. Daniel Bejarano averages this season 11.4ppg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young American power forward Erik Thomas (195-PF-1995) of Soles de Mexicali. Thomas impressed basketball fans with 20 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. It was enough for Soles to edge slightly lower-ranked Freseras (#12, 5-9) by 1 point 102-101. The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. Soles keeps 10th position. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 7-9 record. Thomas is a newcomer at Soles and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders.

The third best performed player last round was American Angel Matias (194-F-1992) of Plateros de Fresnillo (#8). Matias scored 24 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. He was a key player of Plateros, leading his team to a 88-83 win against slightly lower-ranked Santos (#9, 8-8). Plateros needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 9 victories and 7 lost games. Matias has a very solid season. In 4 games in Mexico he scored 16.5ppg.

Other top performing players last week:
4. Ryan Pearson (198-F-1990) of Soles - 22 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists
5. Torren Jones (206-F/C-1994) of Abejas - 21 points and 12 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)
