His team lost some distance to top teams. But 3-2 record is not bad and everything may still change. Agosto is a newcomer at Cacique D. and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 23.7ppg (#4). His other stats are also decent: 8.3rpg and 9.3apg.
Third place about best performers goes to another Cacique D.'s star - forward Xavier de la Rosa (196-F-91). de la Rosa showcased his all-around game by recording 24 points, ten rebounds and six assists in the last round. He was another key player of Cacique D., helping his team with a 86-79 win against slightly lower-ranked Ingenieria (#6, 2-2).

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)
