Experienced Dominican Rep. Juan Suero (196-G-1993) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Piratas de la Guaira and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 23.
The 31-year old guard had a double-double of 29 points and 11 rebounds, while his team lost the game against Gladiadores (#7, 8-8) 103-108. Piratas maintains the 9th position in Venezuelan SPB. Piratas is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. But it was their 6th lost game this season out of 13 games. Suero just recently signed at Piratas, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Suero has impressive league stats. He is league's best scorer averaging so far 21.8ppg. Suero is in league's top in assists (5th best: 4.1apg) and averages solid 61.4% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was another Piratas' star - young Colombian power forward Soren De Luque (200-PF-1998). De Luque impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds. Bad luck as Piratas de la Guaira lost that game 103-108 to slightly higher-ranked Gladiadores (#7, 8-8). Piratas managed to keep the same 9th spot in the standings. His team lost some distance to top teams. But a 7-6 record is not bad and everything may still change. De Luque is one of the most experienced players at Piratas and similarly like Juan Suero has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

The third best performed player last round was American Durrell Summers (196-SF-1989) of Gladiadores de Anzoategui (#7). Summers scored 26 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. He was a key player of Gladiadores, leading his team to a 108-103 win against slightly lower-ranked Piratas (#9, 7-6). Gladiadores needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 8 victories and 8 lost games. Summers has a very solid season. In 11 games in Venezuela he scored 13.6ppg.

Other top performing players last week:
4. Wesley Saunders (196-G/F-1993) of Marinos - 22 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists
5. David Cubillan (181-PG-1987) of Trotamundos - 25 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists
6. Yohanner Sifontes (192-G-1995) of Spartans - 20 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists
7. Myke Henry (198-F-1992) of Brillantes - 23 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists

10. Gerardo Suero (196-SF-1989) of Brillantes - 24 points and 9 rebounds

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)
