Experienced American Aaron Haynes (201-F-81) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for league's leader SK Knights and that's him to receive a Asia-basket.com Player of the Week award for round 3. The 36-year old forward had a double-double of 35 points and twelve rebounds, while his team edged out Sonic Boom KT (#10, 0-2) 81-80. It allowed SK Knights to jump to the first place in the South Korean KBL. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but SK Knights already had a very good start winning all 4 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Haynes had a remarkable 73.7% from 2-point range. He turned to be SK Knights' top player in his first season with the team. Boise State University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Haynes is in league's top in points (3rd best: 26.5ppg), rebounds (8th best: 9.8rpg), assists (4th best: 5.5apg) and averages solid 1.3bpg and 61.9% FGP.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 29-year old American forward Marqus Blakely (201-F-88) of Mobis Phoebus. Blakely impressed basketball fans with 23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Bad luck as Mobis Phoebus lost that game 88-101 to KCC Egis (1-2). 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. Blakely is well-known by Mobis Phoebus fans and he already established his position as one of team's most reliable players.
The third best performed player last round was American forward Ricardo Ratliffe (203-F-89) of Samsung Th. (#6). Ratliffe scored 24 points and grabbed ten rebounds. Despite Ratliffe's great performance Samsung Th. lost 83-92 to DB Promy (#2, 3-0). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Samsung Th. not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 2 games, recording just one victory. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Ratliffe could try to bring Samsung Th.'s a little bit higher in the standings. Ratliffe has individually a great season in South Korea. After only 3 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 24.0ppg (4th best) and rebounds with 10.7rpg (3rd best). Ricardo Ratliffe has also South Korean passport and can play in the league with a status of domestic player.
Other top performing players last week: 4. Josh Selby (188-PG-91) of ET Land - 25 points and 9 assists 5. Seung-Jin Ha (221-C-85) of KCC Egis - 16 points and 18 rebounds 6. Andre Emmett (196-F-82) of KCC Egis - 33 points and 8 rebounds 7. David Simon (208-C-82) of Anyang KGC - 28 points and 7 rebounds 8. Vernon Macklin (208-F/C-86) of Goyang Orions - 21 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists 9. Rodrique Benson (207-F/C-84) of DB Promy - 18 points and 11 rebounds 10. James Mays (206-F/C-86) of ET Land - 16 points and 10 rebounds
The Player of the week is chosen 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)

American Center David Simon (208-C-82) put on an amazing game in the last round for Anyang KGC, receiving a Asia-basket.com Player of the Week award for round 2. The 35-year old player had a double-double of 31 points and 11 rebounds, while his team beat Mobis Phoebus (#7, 1-2) 94-81. Anyang KGC is placed at 3rd position in South Korean KBL. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost that single game earlier this season. Anyang KGC will need more victories to improve their 2-1 record. In the team's last game Simon had a remarkable 70.6% from 2-point range. It's his second year at Anyang KGC and it's hard to imagine this team without him.
The second best player in last round's games was 35-year old American Andre Emmett (196-F-82) of KCC Egis. Emmett had a very good evening with 34 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Bad luck as KCC Egis lost that game 92-98 to ET Land (1-1). 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. Emmett is well-known at KCC Egis and is a proven leader in his second season with the team. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 33.0ppg (#1). His other stats are also decent: 7.0rpg and 3.5apg.
Third on the list of top players last round was American forward Ricardo Ratliffe (203-F-89) of Samsung Th. (#6). Ratliffe got into 30-points club by scoring exactly 30 points in the last round. He went also for ten rebounds and four assists. Despite Ratliffe's great performance Samsung Th. lost 74-87 to LG Sakers (#4, 2-1). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. The last thing Samsung Th. needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 1 victory and 1 lost game. Ratliffe has a great season in South Korea. After only 2 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 24.0ppg (4th best), rebounds with 11.0rpg (5th best) and assists with 4.5apg (9th best). Ricardo Ratliffe has also South Korean passport and can play in the league with a status of domestic player.

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)
