PromotieDivisie scores round 16: BC Amsterdam, Z&Z2 take a loss. Binnenland still lossless. - Feb 2, 2012 (by Terry Cooper)
Well whoa, whoa-Hey hey, what can you say about week 16 as teams that got comfortable in their positions took one to the chin as the standings seemed to shift for teams other than Binnenland who remains undefeated in the league. Most to the part of some teams/players have a tendency to get comfortable when they have defeated their opponents easily before or feel that the game is not important. As we have heard/said many times before that no game is less important than the next [read more]
Well whoa, whoa-Hey hey, what can you say about week 16 as teams that got comfortable in their positions took one to the chin as the standings seemed to shift for teams other than Binnenland who remains undefeated in the league. Most to the part of some teams/players have a tendency to get comfortable when they have defeated their opponents easily before or feel that the game is not important. As we have heard/said many times before that no game is less important than the next. Well BC Amsterdam was the first to feel it as they lost at home over De Groene Uilen 75-64 thank to the experienced play of Erik Schuur (197-G-82) while De Hoppers defeated Z&Z2 at home 70-61 and shaking up the standings. Binnenland won easily over Almonte 99-50 while GOBA sent Punch back to Delft with a 65-57 win. The Cangaroes defeated Jugglers 69-55 while VBC Akrides taught a young Rotterdam2 team a lesson to get veteran players early in the season winning easily 85-58. Finally, the Red Giants bounced back to win convincly over BV Hoofddorp 105-77. It's clear that the race has opened up for five teams to get the final 3 spots as Binnenland has secured a playoff spot and working on the #1 seed. As well as the bottom, Rotterdam2 and Jugglers may be stepping down due to poor coaching and personnel decisions. STOP trying to go so young and get players to win. Stay tuned...
Round 16 Scores:
Goba - Punch 65-57 Red Giants - BV Hoofddorp 105-77 BC Amsterdam - De Groene Uilen 64-75 Almonte - Binnenland 50-99 De Hoppers - Z&Z2 70-61 Cangeroes - Jugglers 69-55 Rotterdam2 - VBC Akrides 58-85

International forward Stefan Wessels (203-F-84, agency: R.H.Consultancy) had an amazing evening in the last round for league's leader Den Bosch and that's him to receive a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 21. The 27-year old forward had the game-high 26 points adding six rebounds and three assists for Den Bosch in his team's victory, helping them to outclass Rotterdam (#7, 2-15) with 47-point margin 113-66. It allowed Den Bosch to jump to the first place in the Dutch Eredivisie. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Den Bosch has a very solid 13-4 record, but they cannot be too comfortable about keeping top position. In the team's last game Wessels had a remarkable 57.1% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Den Bosch, through which he has constantly improved. Stefan Wessels averages this season 11.0ppg and 5.6rpg.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was another Den Bosch's star - 24-year old American guard David Gonzalvez (193-G-87). Gonzalvez impressed basketball fans with 15 points and 6 assists. Of course together with Wessels he helped Den Bosch with another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Rotterdam (#7, 2-15) 113-66. This victory allowed Den Bosch to move up to 1st position in the standings. His team has currently 13-4 record. Gonzalvez is a newcomer at Den Bosch and despite he is not a team leader yet, every game he becomes more reliable player. Hopefully performances like the last one will happen more often.
The third best performed player last round was former international forward Thomas Koenis (207-F/C-89, agency: Court Side) of second-ranked Groningen. Koenis scored 11 points and grabbed twelve rebounds (!!!). He was a key player of Groningen, leading his team to a 80-73 win against the lower-ranked Leeuwarden (#6, 8-9). Groningen needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 13 victories and 5 lost games. Koenis has a very solid season. In 17 games in Holland he scored 6.4ppg. He also has 5.4rpg and FGP: 66.2%.
Other top performing players last week: 4. Rogier Jansen (188-G-84) of Den Bosch - 15 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists 5. Daniel Jones (200-F-79) of Rotterdam - 17 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists 6.

The Player of the week is choosen 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)
