Forward Rodijs Macoha (200-F-2002) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for BK Liepaja, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 13.
The 22-year old player had a double-double of 25 points and 10 rebounds, while his team outclassed Viimsi (#13, 2-9) with 30-point margin 97-67. The game rather meaningless between the teams, which do not have any influence on top of the standings. Liepaja maintains the 10th position in LAT-EST BL . Liepaja 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 5-6 record. In the team's last game Macoha had a remarkable 81.8% from 2-point range. He turned to be Liepaja's top player in his first season with the team. Rodijs Macoha averages this season 14.4ppg and 7.8rpg.

The second best player in last round's games was young Nigerian Ajiri Ogemuno-Johnson (203-F-1999) of Parnu Sadam. Ogemuno-Johnson had a very good evening with 33 points and 9 rebounds. Bad luck as Parnu was edged by the higher-ranked Tartu (#5, 7-3) 94-91. Parnu is still in a red zone at 12th spot in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 3-5 record. Ogemuno-Johnson is a newcomer at Parnu, but is already one of team's top players.

Third on the list of top players last round was guard Siim-Markus Post (184-PG-1997) of TalTech/OPTIBET Tallinn (#7). Post scored 22 points and passed 11 assists (!!!). Despite Post's great performance the TalTech lost 91-93 to slightly lower-ranked Rapla (#9, 5-5). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. The last thing TalTech needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 6 victories and 6 lost games. Post has a great season in LAT-EST BL. After 12 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in assists with 7.0apg (best passer).

4. Tormi Niits (198-SF-1998) of Rapla - 27 points and 7 rebounds

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)
