Vezenkov's 25 points and 6 rebounds give him Player of the Week award

31-year old Bulgarian power forward Aleksandar Vezenkov (204-PF-1995) had an amazing evening in the last round for second-ranked Olympiacos S.F.P. Piraeus and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
He had the game-high 25 points adding six rebounds for Olympiacos in his team's victory, helping them to beat Barca (#9, 3-3) 105-100. Olympiacos is placed at 2nd position in Euroleague. They are still close to the very top. Olympiacos 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 Vezenkov had a remarkable 85.7% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Olympiacos, through which he has constantly improved. Vezenkov has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (2nd best: 18.0ppg) and averages solid 71.1% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Chima Moneke (198-PF-1995) of KK Crvena zvezda Meridianbet Beograd. He is Nigerian forward in his 2nd season at Crvena zvezda. In the last game Moneke recorded an impressive 23 points and 4 rebounds. Of course Crvena zvezda cruised to a 90-81 relatively comfortable win over the lower-ranked Paris (#18, 1-5). This victory allowed Crvena zvezda to move up to 4th position in the standings. His team's 4-2 record is not bad at all. Moneke is well-known at Crvena zvezda and he already established his position as one of the team's leaders.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Vladimir Lucic (204-F-1989) of FC Bayern Muenchen Basketball (#14). Lucic scored 17 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. Despite Lucic's great performance the Bayern Muenchen lost 87-95 to slightly higher-ranked Besiktas (#12, 3-3). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Bayern 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 his teammates, Lucic could try to bring Bayern's a little bit higher in the standings. Lucic has a very solid season. In 6 games in Euroleague he scored 5.7ppg.

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)
