Austrian BDSL round 6 best performance: Khrystyna Kulesha (by Hoops Agents)

Ukrainian Power forward Khrystyna Kulesha (185-PF-2004) had an amazing evening in the last round for second-ranked UBI Graz, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
The 22-year old player had a double-double of 33 points and 16 rebounds, while her team beat Linz (#5, 2-4) 80-72. UBI Graz maintains the 2nd position in Austrian BDSL. They are still close to the very top. UBI Graz would have been even better if they kept winning the games like in the last round. They have a solid 5-1 record. In the team's last game Kulesha had a remarkable 58.8% from 2-point range. It's her second year at UBI Graz and it's hard to imagine this team without her. Khrystyna Kulesha has solid league stats. She is league's best scorer averaging so far 18.0ppg. Kulesha is in league's top in rebounds (3rd best: 10.2rpg) and averages impressive 52.1% FGP.

The second best player in last round's games was young international guard Sigrid Koizar (172-G-1995) of Vienna D.C. Timberwolves. Koizar had a very good evening with a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds. Of course Timberwolves cruised to a 80-68 relatively comfortable win over Vienna United (#8, 0-6). Timberwolves' 6th position in the standings has not changed. Her team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 2-4 record. Koizar is a newcomer at Timberwolves, but is already one of team's top players.

Third on the list of top players last round was another Timberwolves' star - former international forward Petra Pammer (177-F-2000). Pammer scored 21 points. She was another key player of Vienna D.C. Timberwolves, helping her team with a 80-68 win against Vienna United (#8, 0-6). The chances of Timberwolves not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 4 games, recording just two victories. With bigger assistance of her teammates, Pammer could try to bring Timberwolves' a little bit higher in the standings. Pammer has a very solid season. In 6 games in Austria she scored 11.8ppg. She also has 4.3rpg and 2.5spg.

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)
