26-year old Polish point guard Kinga Piedel (170-PG-1997) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Daugavpils Universitate and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 23.
She had the game-high 35 points adding eight rebounds and two assists for Daugavpils in her team's victory, helping them to beat Aistes-LSMU (#7, 10-9) 86-73. Daugavpils maintains the 10th position in WBBL . Too late to improve their position as they are currently ranked such low. They already lost 12 games and recorded just three victories. In the team's last game Piedel had a remarkable six three-pointers out of 11 attempts. She turned to be Daugavpils' top player in her first season with the team. Piedel has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in points (3rd best: 18.1ppg).

Second best performed player last round was Franciska Treiliha (177-F-2004) of BJBS Riga/Juniores. She is a forward in her second season at BJBS Riga. In the last game Treiliha recorded an impressive 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. Bad luck as BJBS Riga lost that game 65-89 to the higher-ranked Neptunas (#1, 17-4). BJBS Riga is still second from the bottom in the standings. 13 lost games are too many comparing to just two victories BJBS Riga managed to get this year. Treiliha is well-known at BJBS Riga and she already established her position as one of the team's leaders.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Dalia Donskichyte (169-PG-2000) of Vilniaus Kibirkstis-MRU (#5). Donskichyte scored 18 points and passed 7 assists. She was a key player of Kibirkstis-MRU, leading her team to a 103-71 easy win against the lower-ranked Panevezys (#9, 5-13). Kibirkstis-MRU needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 12 victories and 5 lost games. Donskichyte has a great season in WBBL. After 14 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in assists with 6.6apg (best passer). She also has 2.6spg and a FGP of 66.1%.

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)
