Terrell Stoglin

24-year old Adama Diakhite (1997) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for DUC Dakar and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 3.
He had a double-double of 30 points and 11 rebounds, while his team beat REG (#2, 2-1) 92-86. Thanks to this victory DUC Dakar moved-up to the 6th position in Basketball Africa League. Too late to improve their position as they are currently ranked such low. They already lost 3 games and recorded just one victory. In the team's last game Diakhite had a remarkable 73.3% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at DUC Dakar, through which he has constantly improved. Adama Diakhite averages this season 16.5ppg and 6.3rpg.

Second best performed player last round was Terrell Stoglin (185-G-1991) of Association Sportive de Sale. He is American guard in his first season at AS Sale. In the last game Stoglin recorded impressive 41 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. Bad luck as AS Sale lost that game 90-96 to US Monastir (4-0). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Stoglin is one of the most experienced players at AS Sale and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Christopher Obekpa (206-PF-1993, agency: Interperformances) of SLAC (#3). Obekpa showcased his all-around game by recording 13 points, twelve rebounds (!!!) and four assists in the last round. He was a key player of SLAC, leading his team to a 90-74 easy win against Fer.Beira (#5, 1-3). SLAC needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 2 victories and 2 lost games. Obekpa has a very solid season. In 4 games in Basketball Africa League he scored 14.0ppg.

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)
