Experienced American Chehales Tapscott (195-F-1990) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Cyberdyne Ibaraki Robots and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 13.
The 34-year old forward had the game-high 31 points adding six rebounds and three assists for Ibaraki R. in his team's victory, helping them to beat Sunrockers Sh. (#4, 9-5) 87-80. Robots maintains the 7th position in their group in the Japanese B1 League. The season is in a full swing, so it's only a dream for the team to make it into top half of the standings. For contrary they may face relegation if the situation turns from bad to worse. Ibaraki R. have already lost 11 games and recorded just three victories. In the team's last game Tapscott had a remarkable 84.6% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Robots, through which he has constantly improved.

Mooney impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds. Of course he led Jets to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Nagoya DD (#5, 6-8) 99-72.

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)
