31-year old Dalton Cacho (200-SG -1993) had a very impressive game in the last round for Brumas de Jinotega and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 5.
He had a double-double of 29 points and 12 rebounds, while his team outclassed Tigres (#7, 2-3) with 28-point margin 107-79. Brumas maintains the 5th position in Nicaraguan league. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost two games earlier this season. Brumas will need more victories to improve their 3-2 record. In the team's last game Cacho had a remarkable 75.0% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Brumas, through which he has constantly improved. Cacho has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in rebounds (3rd best: 10.6rpg), assists (6th best: 4.6apg) and averages solid 1.6bpg and 58.5% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Ezequiel Colon (187-G-1999) of Tigres de Chinandega. He is Puerto Rican guard in his first season at Tigres. In the last game Colon recorded an impressive 26 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. Bad luck as Tigres lost that game 79-107 to slightly higher-ranked Brumas (#5, 3-2). This loss caused Tigres to drop to 7th position in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 2-3 record. Colon is one of the most experienced players at Tigres and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 19.2ppg (#6). His other stats are also decent: 9.0rpg and 6.0apg.

Third place about best performers goes to center Jose Familia (201-C-1998) of UNAN de Leon (#4). Familia scored 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. He was a key player of UNAN de, leading his team to a 105-63 easy win against Indigenas (#8, 0-5). UNAN de needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 3 victories and 1 lost game. Familia has a great season in Nicaragua. After only 4 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 13.5rpg (2nd best).

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)
