American Louis King (201-F-1999) had an amazing evening in the last week for Criollos de Caguas and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for week 26.
The 25-year old forward had the game-high 36 points adding four rebounds and five assists for Caguas in his team's victory, helping them to beat Bayamon (#1, 23-8) 102-93. Criollos maintains the 3rd position in their group in the Puerto Rican BSN. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Caguas will need more victories to improve their 18-13 record. In the team's last game King had a remarkable 75.0% from 2-point range and got seven three-pointers out of 10 attempts. He just recently signed at Criollos, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Louis King averages this season 16.0ppg and 5.4rpg.

The second most remarkable performance in last week's games was young Mali Cheick Diallo (206-C/F-1996) of Osos de Manati. Diallo impressed basketball fans with 31 points and 9 rebounds. Bad luck as Osos lost that game 91-112 to slightly higher-ranked Carolina (#4, 14-14). Manati managed to keep the same 6th spot in Group B. 25 lost games are too many comparing to just four victories Osos managed to get this year. Diallo is one of the most experienced players at Manati and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 18.0ppg (#8). He also registered 9.1 boards per game.

The third best performed player last week was American Jacob Wiley (203-C-1994) of Gigantes de Carolina (#4). Wiley scored 21 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. He was a key player of Gigantes, leading his team to a 114-86 easy win against #3 ranked Caguas in a game of the week. Carolina needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams in Group B. Their record at this point is 14 victories and 14 lost games. Wiley has a very solid season. In 2 games in Puerto Rico he scored 17.5ppg.

Other top performing players last week:
4. Samuel Waardenburg (208-F-1999) of Mayaguez - 26 points and 7 rebounds
5. Brandon Knight (190-G-1991) of Arecibo - 26 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists

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)
