Forward Jeremy Agosto (F) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for league's best team Cacique D. and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 13.
He recorded a triple-double of 31 points adding also 10 rebounds and 14 assists, while his team beat Indigenas (#8, 1-6) 111-103. It allowed Cacique D. to take over top position in the Nicaraguan league. They would have been even better if they did not have these two lost games earlier in Regular Season. Cacique D. has a very solid 6-2 record, but they cannot be too comfortable about keeping top position. In the team's last game Agosto had a remarkable 56.3% from 2-point range. He turned to be Cacique D.'s top player in his first season with the team. Agosto has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (5th best: 25.0ppg).
Second best performed player last round was Xavier de la Rosa (196-F-91). He is Dominican Rep. forward in his first season at Cacique D.. In the last game de la Rosa recorded impressive double-double of 41 points and 11 rebounds. Of course Cacique D. cruised to a 111-103 relatively comfortable win over the lower-ranked Indigenas (#8, 1-6). This victory allowed Cacique D. to move up to 1st position in the standings. His team has currently 6-2 record. de la Rosa 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 29.7ppg (#2). His other stats are also decent: 7.9rpg and 3.3apg.
Third place about best performers goes to guard Christian Lopez (183-PG-95) of Indigenas (#8). Lopez got into 30-points club by scoring 34 points in the last round. He went also for seven rebounds and five assists. Despite Lopez's great performance Indigenas lost 103-111 to the higher-ranked Cacique D. (#1, 6-2). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. Indigenas can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have rather bad season and 1-6 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Lopez has individually a great season in Nicaragua. After only 7 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 33.0ppg (best scorer) and assists with 5.6apg (3rd best). He also has 2.1spg and FGP: 55.2%.

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)
