37-year old Montenegrin power forward Nemanja Milosevic (204-PF-1987) had an amazing evening in the last round for United Generation Basketball Kigali and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 21.
He had a double-double of 29 points and 23 rebounds, while his team outclassed K-Titans (#9, 2-15) with 61-point margin 116-55. UGB maintains the 7th position in Rwandan league. UGB 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 7-8 record. In the team's last game Milosevic had a remarkable 84.6% from 2-point range. He turned to be UGB's top player in his first season with the team. Nemanja Milosevic averages this season 25.5ppg and 13.0rpg.

Second best performed player last round was Ronald Nato (199-F-1992) of Espoir BBC Kigali. He is Chadian forward in his first season at Espoir. In the last game Nato recorded an impressive double-double of 28 points and 10 rebounds. Bad luck as Espoir was edged by Kepler (9-7) 81-79. Espoir managed to keep the same 4th spot in the standings. His team's 9-7 record is not bad at all. Nato is a newcomer at Espoir and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 22.8ppg (#2). He also registered 11.2 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to another UGB's star - guard Patrick Rembert (185-PG-1990). Rembert showcased his all-around game by recording 28 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists (!!!) in the last round. He was another key player of United Generation Basketball Kigali, helping his team with a 116-55 easy win against slightly lower-ranked K-Titans (#9, 2-15). The chances of UGB ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 8 games, recording just seven victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Rembert could help UGB to bring them higher in the standings. Rembert has a very solid season. In 5 games in Rwanda he scored 22.8ppg.

4. Omega Ngaifei (204-F/C-2001) of Espoir - 10 points, 18 rebounds and 7 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)
