American Juicy Landrum (173-G-1997) had a great game in the last week for Patriotas de Lares and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for week 14.
The 27-year old guard had a double-double of 32 points and 10 rebounds, while her team beat Isabela (#9, 4-10) 87-78. Lares maintains the 6th position in Puerto Rican BSNF. Lares is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 5-8 record. In the team's last game Landrum had a remarkable 66.7% from 2-point range. She turned to be Lares' top player in her first season with the team. Baylor University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Landrum is in league's top in assists (6th best: 5.7apg) and averages solid 51.6% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last week's games was young American guard Mikayla Pivec (178-G-1997) of Pollitas de Isabela. Pivec impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 22 points and 15 rebounds. Bad luck as Pollitas lost that game 78-87 to the higher-ranked Lares (#6, 5-8). This loss caused Isabela to slide to the very bottom (9) position in the standings. 10 lost games are too many comparing to just four victories Pollitas managed to get this year. Pivec is a newcomer at Isabela and it seems she did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders.

The third best performed player last week was American Asia Strong (188-F-2000) of Montaneras de Morovis (#3). Strong got into 30-points club by scoring exactly 30 points in the last week. She went also for seven rebounds . Despite Strong's great performance the Montaneras lost 80-92 to #2 ranked Manati. But her team cannot count on just a single shooter as she also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. The last thing Morovis needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 8 victories and 6 lost games. Strong has a very solid season. In 14 games in Puerto Rico she scored 17.8ppg. Strong attended one of camps at Eurobasket Summer League on her way to pro basketball.

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)
