Scrivia in her team's victory, helping them to beat
Campobasso (#5,

Scrivia will need more victories to improve their
3-1 record. In the team's last game Fondren had a remarkable 58.3% from 2-point range. It's her second year at
Scrivia and it's hard to imagine this team without her. Syracuse University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Fondren is league's best passer with 6.5apg. Fondren is in league's top in and averages solid 4.5spg and 54.8% FGP. Worth to mention Fondren played also at
Eurobasket Summer League, which helped her get the job in pro basketball.
Second best performed player last round was
Julianna Okosun (194-C-2001) of
Allianz Geas Sesto San Giovanni. She is Danish center in her first season at San Giovanni. In the last game Okosun recorded an impressive double-double of 16 points and 18 rebounds. Of course she led San Giovanni to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked
Roseto (#6,
2-2)
58-38. This victory allowed San Giovanni to move up to 3rd position in the standings. Her team's
3-1 record is not bad at all. Okosun is a newcomer at San Giovanni and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 17.3ppg (#2). She also registered 8.8 boards per game.
Third place about best performers goes to forward
Liz Scott (188-F-2001) of
Magnolia La Molisana Campobasso (#5). Scott showcased her all-around game by recording 15 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists in the last round. Despite Scott's great performance the Campobasso lost
62-68 to slightly higher-ranked
Scrivia (#4,
3-1). But her team cannot count on just a single player as she also needs help of the other teammates. The last thing Campobasso 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. Scott has a very solid season. In 4 games in Italy she scored 12.5ppg.

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)
