32-year old point guard Rui Machida (162-PG-1993) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Fujitsu Red Wave and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 3.
She got a double-double of 18 points and 10 assists, while her team beat Sunshine R. (3-3) 82-73. Fujitsu RW is placed at 4th position in Japanese WJBL. Fujitsu RW 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 3-3 record. In the team's last game Machida had a remarkable 70.0% from 2-point range. She has many years of experience at Fujitsu RW, through which she has constantly improved. Machida has impressive league stats. She is league's best passer with 9.7apg. Machida

Second best performed player last round was Ramu Tokashiki (193-F/C-1991) of Aishin AW Wings. She is international forward in her 2nd season at Aishin AW. In the last game Tokashiki recorded an impressive 20 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Bad luck as Aishin AW lost that game 60-70 to Chanson V-M (4-2). 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. Tokashiki is well-known at Aishin AW and she already established her position as one of the team's leaders. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 16.3ppg (#2). She also registered 6.5 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Marvelous Nwoko (183-F/C-2001) of league's second-best Chanson V-Magic. Nwoko scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. She was a key player of Chanson V-M, leading her team to a 80-64 easy win against Aishin AW (#7, 1-5). Chanson V-M needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 4 victories and 2 lost games. Nwoko has a great season in Japan. After only 6 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 17.3ppg (best scorer) and rebounds with 11.8rpg (#1 in league). She also has 2.8spg, 1.3bpg and a FGP of 58.1%.

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)
