26-year old American forward Ty Prince (198-F-1999) had a very impressive game in the last round for Union Atletica Montevideo and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 5.
He had the game-high 29 points adding six rebounds and five assists for U.Atletica in his team's victory, helping them to crush, the league's bottom-ranked team Welcome (#12, 0-4) with 16-point margin 84-68. The game rather meaningless between the teams, which do not have any influence on top of the standings. U.Atletica maintains the 9th position in Uruguayan league. U.Atletica is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 2-2 record. In the team's last game Prince had a remarkable 81.8% from 2-point range. He turned to be U.Atletica's top player in his first season with the team. Ty Prince averages this season 16.5ppg, 5.8rpg and 4.3apg.

Second best performed player last round was Alvaro Pena (197-SG-1995, agency: Starting 5) of Atletico Welcome Montevideo. He is Colombian guard in his first season at Welcome. In the last game Pena recorded an impressive double-double of 22 points and 10 rebounds. Bad luck as Welcome lost that game 68-84 to the higher-ranked U.Atletica (#9, 2-2). The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. Welcome is still at the dead bottom 12th position. 4 lost games are too many considering they did not win any game. Pena is a newcomer at Welcome and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 21.3ppg (#2). He also registered 8.7 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Connor Zinaich (201-F-1997) of league's second-best Nacional De Futbol Montevideo. Zinaich showcased his all-around game by recording 19 points, 11 rebounds (!!!) and 4 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Nacional, leading his team to a 102-86 easy win against Goes (#11, 0-4). Nacional needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 3 victories and 1 lost game. The season just started for Zinaich as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.

Other top performing players last week:
4. Remy Abell (193-G-1992) of Malvin - 22 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists
5. Bryce Beamer (197-F-1998) of Cordon - 22 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists

10. Manuel Oyenard (194-F-2000) of Goes - 15 points, 5 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)
