Ridwaan Jobson gets MVP of the Week award for South African BNL (by Interperformances)

Ridwaan Jobson

Ridwaan Jobson (180-SG-91) had a great game in the last round for league's second-best EC Windbreakers and that's him to receive a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 4.
The 29-year old shooting guard had the game-high 26 points adding four rebounds for EC Windbreakers in his team's victory, helping them to edge out WC Mountaineers (1-1) 68-67. EC Windbreakers maintains the 2nd position in their group in South African BNL. EC Windbreakers 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 1-1 record. In the team's last game Jobson had a remarkable six three-pointers out of 10 attempts. He has many years of experience at EC Windbreakers, through which he has constantly improved. Jobson has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (3rd best: 16.0ppg) and averages solid 50.0% from behind 3-point line.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was Thomas Mochaki of second-ranked L.Pride. Mochaki impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds. Bad luck as L.Pride was edged by Group 5's leader NC Zebras (#1, 2-0) 68-67. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the top position in Group 5. L.Pride still maintains its place in the top 2 of the standings, even despite this loss. 2 lost games are too many considering they did not win any game. Mochaki is a newcomer at L.Pride and despite he is not a team leader yet, every game he becomes more reliable player. Hopefully performances like the last one will happen more often.

The third best performed player last round was Didier Tshimanga (G) of top-ranked NC Zebras. Tshimanga showcased his all-around game by recording 19 points, five rebounds and four assists in the last round. He was a key player of NC Zebras, leading his team to a 68-67 win against #2 ranked L.Pride. NC Zebras has a very good start of the season. But there were just 2 games played, so it's too early to judge them at this stage. Tshimanga also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. Tshimanga has a great season in South Africa. After only 2 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 16.0ppg (best scorer) and assists with 3.0apg (4th best).

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)
