American Guard Cameron Shelton (188-G-1999) had an amazing evening in the last round for BK Ventspils, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 11.
The 26-year old player was the main contributor (24 points, eight rebounds and seven assists) to his team's victory, helping them to outclass Tartu (#2, 12-1) with 35-point margin 106-71. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Ventspils maintains the 4th position in LAT-EST BL . They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Ventspils will need more victories to improve their 11-4 record. In the team's last game Shelton had a remarkable four three-pointers out of 7 attempts. He turned to be Ventspils' top player in his first season with the team. Former Loyola Marymount University star has very solid stats this year. Shelton is in league's top in points (8th best: 16.9ppg), assists (5th best: 5.6apg) and averages impressive 63.3% FGP.

The second best player in last round's games was young Puerto Rican Arnaldo Barea (203-C-1997) of VEF Riga. Barea had a very good evening with a double-double of 14 points and 20 rebounds. Bad luck as VEF Riga was edged by slightly higher-ranked Rigas Z. (#1, 14-1) 80-77. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. VEF Riga still maintains its place in the top 3 of the standings, even despite this loss. It was just his team's 3rd loss this season, while they won 12 other games. Barea is a newcomer at VEF Riga, but is already one of team's top players.

Third on the list of top players last round was forward Patrik Saal (206-PF-2000) of Keila Coolbet (#13). Saal scored 18 points and grabbed 13 rebounds (!!!). Despite Saal's great performance the Keila C. lost 64-81 to the higher-ranked Parnu (#9, 4-8). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. Keila C. can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have rather bad season and 2-11 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Saal has a very solid season. In 13 games in LAT-EST BL he scored 14.3ppg. He also has 6.5rpg and a FGP of 52.4%.

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)
