29-year old ARG-URUn power forward Agustin Zuvich (201-F/C-1995) had an amazing evening in the last round for Larranaga Montevideo and receives a Hoops Agents Metropolitan Player of the Week award for round 11.
He had the game-high 29 points adding eight rebounds and five assists for Larranaga in his team's victory, helping them to crush Verdirrojo (#13, 3-7) with 23-point margin 100-77. The game rather meaningless between the teams, which do not have any influence on top of the standings. Larranaga is placed at 12th position in Uruguayan Metropolitan. Larranaga is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 4-7 record. In the team's last game Zuvich had a remarkable 84.6% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Larranaga, through which he has constantly improved. Agustin Zuvich averages this season 21.3ppg and 9.0rpg.

Second best performed player last round was Joao Demetrio (208-F/C-1995) of Sayago. He is Brazilian forward in his first season at Sayago. In the last game Demetrio recorded an impressive double-double of 20 points and 15 rebounds. Of course he led Sayago to another comfortable win 83-65 over the higher-ranked Olimpia (#1, 8-2) being unquestionably team leader. Sayago's 11th position in the standings has not changed. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 4-6 record. Demetrio is one of the most experienced players at Sayago and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to another Sayago's star - swingman Anthony Hilliard (195-G/F-1986). Hilliard showcased his all-around game by recording 24 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in the last round. He was another key player of Sayago, helping his team with a 83-65 easy win against the higher-ranked Olimpia (#1, 8-2). The chances of Sayago ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 6 games, recording just four victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Hilliard could help Sayago to bring them higher in the standings. Hilliard has a very solid season. In 6 games in Uruguay he scored 12.5ppg.

4. Okanu Kingsley (202-PF) of U.Atletica - 17 points, 13 rebounds and 3 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)
