Pevnev's double-double lands him Player of the Week award

26-year old forward Danil Pevnev (203-F-2000) had an amazing evening in the last round for MBA-MAI Moscow and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
He had a double-double of 33 points and 18 rebounds, while his team beat Enisey (#10, 1-5) 106-99. MBA Moscow is placed at 8th position in VTB United League. MBA Moscow is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 2-4 record. In the team's last game Pevnev had a remarkable 64.3% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at MBA Moscow, through which he has constantly improved. Pevnev has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (4th best: 18.2ppg), rebounds (2nd best: 8.8rpg) and averages solid 51.2% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Nathaniel Pollard Jr. (196-F-2000, agency: Elevate Sports Alliance) of Dinamo Vladivostok. He is American forward in his first season at Dinamo V.. In the last game Pollard Jr. recorded an impressive double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds. Bad luck as Dinamo lost that game 72-83 to the higher-ranked Zenit (#3, 6-2). This loss caused Dinamo to drop to 9th position in the standings. 5 lost games are too many comparing to just two victories Dinamo managed to get this year. Pollard Jr. is a newcomer at Dinamo and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. Former University of Maryland Eastern Shore star Pollard Jr. is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Alen Hadzibegovic (208-PF-1999) of league's second-best Lokomotiv Kuban. Hadzibegovic scored 23 points. He was a key player of Lokomotiv, leading his team to a 107-80 easy win against #4 ranked UNICS in a game of the week. Lokomotiv is closer and closer to top of the standings. They will still need more victories. But 6-1 record is not that bad... Hadzibegovic has a very solid season. In 3 games in VTB United League he scored 15.0ppg.

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)
