28-year old Finnish forward Okko Jarvi (193-F-1996) had an amazing evening in the last round for Parnu Sadam and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 21.
He had a double-double of 34 points and 10 rebounds, while his team edged out Keila C. (7-10) 98-96. The game rather meaningless between the teams, which do not have any influence on top of the standings. Parnu maintains the 12th position in LAT-EST BL . Parnu 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 7-10 record. In the team's last game Jarvi had a remarkable seven three-pointers out of 9 attempts. He turned to be Parnu's top player in his first season with the team. Okko Jarvi averages this season 12.2ppg and 5.3rpg.

Second best performed player last round was Artem Kovalov (208-F/C-1997) of Keila Coolbet. He is Ukrainian forward in his first season at Keila C.. In the last game Kovalov recorded an impressive double-double of 21 points and 11 rebounds. Bad luck as Keila C. was edged by the higher-ranked Liepaja (#7, 9-8) 78-77. This loss caused Keila C. to drop to 10th position in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 7-10 record. Kovalov is a newcomer at Keila C. and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 19.5ppg (#3). He also registered 11.2 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Egert Haller (193-SG-1995) of Keila Korvpallikool (#15). Haller showcased his all-around game by recording 20 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in the last round. Despite Haller's great performance the Keila KK lost 91-99 to the higher-ranked BK Ogre (#6, 11-7). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. Keila KK can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have extremely bad season and 1-15 record places them at the very bottom of the standings. Haller has individually a great season in LAT-EST BL. After 11 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 17.4ppg (4th best).

Other top performing players last week:
4. Vitalii Shymanskyi (205-PF-2003) of Keila KK - 27 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists
5. MJ Randolph (193-G-1999) of Ventspils - 16 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists
6. Tautvydas Kupstas (193-G-2000) of Keila C. - 31 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists
7. Siim-Markus Post (184-PG-1997) of TalTech - 19 points, 4 rebounds and 13 assists
8. Taavi Jurkatamm (204-PF-1997) of TalTech - 18 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists

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)
