Anke Rikhof (191-F-1996) had an amazing evening in the last round for
Jolly Jumpers Tubbergen and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
The 30-year old forward had the game-high 18 points adding nine rebounds and six assists for
Jolly J. in her team's victory, helping them to beat
TopKip Lions (#9,
2-4)
98-85.
Jolly J. is placed at 4th position in Dutch WBL.
Jolly J. is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their
3-3 record. In the team's last game Rikhof had a remarkable 100.0% from 2-point range. She has many years of experience at
Jolly J., through which she has constantly improved. Rikhof has impressive league stats. She leads league in rebounds with 10.2rpg. Rikhof is in league's top in assists (3rd best: 4.2apg) and averages solid 1.3bpg,4.5spg and 84.2% FGP.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young international guard
Myrthe Den Heeten (173-G-1997) of
TopKip Lions Landsmeer. Den Heeten impressed basketball fans with 24 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Bad luck as TopKip Lions lost that game
85-98 to the higher-ranked
Jolly J. (#4,
3-3). This loss caused TopKip Lions to drop to 9th position in the standings. Her team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere
2-4 record. Den Heeten is one of the most experienced players at TopKip Lions and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 18.2ppg (#5).
The third best performed player last round was
Quinta Van Schijndel (174-PG-2003) of
Triple Threat Haarlem (#8). Van Schijndel got into 30-points club by scoring exactly 30 points in the last round. Despite Van Schijndel's great performance the Triple Threat lost
64-67 to the higher-ranked
Orange Lions (#5,
3-3). But her team cannot count on just a single shooter as she also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Triple Threat 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, Van Schijndel could try to bring Triple Threat's a little bit higher in the standings. Van Schijndel has individually a great season in Holland. After only 5 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 19.2ppg (3rd best).

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)
