Jeremiah Hill claims French Betclic ELITE ProA weekly honour

Experienced Cameroonian-American Jeremiah Hill (188-PG-1995) had a great game in the last round for ES Chalon-Sur-Saone and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 4.
The 31-year old playmaker had the game-high 24 points adding five rebounds and two assists for Chalon/Saone in his team's victory, helping them to beat Cholet (#8, 2-2) 86-77. Chalon/Saor maintains the 4th position in French Betclic ELITE ProA. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost that single game earlier this season. Chalon/Saone will need more victories to improve their 3-1 record. In the team's last game Hill had a remarkable 55.6% from 2-point range and got four three-pointers out of 6 attempts. He has many years of experience at Chalon/Saor, through which he has constantly improved. Jeremiah Hill averages this season 14.5ppg. Worth to mention Hill played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which helped him get the job in pro basketball.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young American guard Jaylen Hands (191-G-1999, agency: Octagon Europe) of SIG Strasbourg. Hands impressed basketball fans with 28 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. It was enough for SIG Strasbourg to edge slightly higher-ranked Roanne (2-2) by 2 points 72-70. This victory allowed Strasbourg to move up to 7th position in the standings. His team lost some distance to top teams. But a 2-2 record is not bad and everything may still change. Hands is a newcomer at Strasbourg and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 20.0ppg (#5). His other stats are also decent: 4.3rpg and 4.3apg.

The third best performed player last round was Slovenian Gregor Hrovat (196-G-1994) of Elan Bearnais Pau-Lacq-Orthez (#11). Hrovat showcased his all-around game by recording 17 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Pau-Lacq-Orthez, leading his team to a 102-89 easy win against the lower-ranked Saint Quentin (1-3). The season just started for Hrovat as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.

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)
