26-year old Hungarian power forward
Sara Heljic (193-F/C-2000) had a great game in the last round for league's best team
KK Jumper Zenica and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 4.
She had a double-double of 30 points and 15 rebounds, while her team outclassed, the league's bottom-ranked team
Gradiska (#11,
0-4) with 40-point margin
88-48. It allowed
Jumper to consolidate first place in the Bosnia and Herzegovina Division I. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but
Jumper already had a very good start winning all 4 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Heljic had a remarkable 72.7% from 2-point range. She turned to be
Jumper's top player in her first season with the team. Heljic has impressive league stats. She is league's best scorer averaging so far 26.5ppg. Heljic is in league's top in rebounds (2nd best: 13.8rpg), assists (7th best: 4.8apg) and averages solid 3.0spg,65.2% FGP and 45.0% from behind 3-point line.

ZKK Leotar 03 Trebinje. She is former international swingman in her 9th season at Leotar. In the last game Milakovic recorded an impressive double-double of 22 points and 17 rebounds. Of course Leotar cruised to a
70-60 relatively comfortable win over the lower-ranked
Banovici (#7,
2-2). This victory allowed Leotar to move up to second position in the standings. Her team's
3-1 record is not bad at all. Milakovic is one of the most experienced players at Leotar and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 20.5ppg (#7). She also registered 12.8 boards per game.
Third place about best performers goes to center
Marija Damjanovic (197-C-2007) of
ZKK Mladi Krajisnik Banja Luka (#8). Damjanovic scored 18 points and grabbed 20 rebounds (!!!). Despite Damjanovic's great performance the Mladi Krajisnik lost
64-86 to the higher-ranked
Celik (
2-2). But her team cannot count on just a single player as she also needs help of the other teammates. The last thing Mladi Krajisnik needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 2 victories and 2 lost games. Damjanovic has a great season in Bosnia. After only 4 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 22.8ppg (3rd best) and rebounds with 17.5rpg (#1 in league).

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)
