32-year old GRE-USA center Zach Auguste (208-C-1993, agency: Pensack Sports) put on an amazing game in the last round for Shiga Lakestars and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 12.
He had a double-double of 32 points and 12 rebounds, while his team crushed Akita NH (#11, 2-10) with 16-point margin 89-73. Lakestars is placed at 4th position in Japanese league. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Shiga L-Stars will need more victories to improve their 7-5 record. In the team's last game Auguste had a remarkable 83.3% from 2-point range. He turned to be Lakestars' top player in his first season with the team. Zach Auguste averages this season 17.7ppg and 7.4rpg.

Second best performed player last round was Jahlil Okafor (211-C-1995) of Levanga Hokkaido Sapporo. He is Nigerian-American center in his first season at Hokkaido L.. In the last game Okafor recorded an impressive double-double of 27 points and 10 rebounds. Of course he led Sapporo to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Osaka E. (#9, 5-7) 102-82. This victory allowed Hokkaido L. to move up to 3rd position in East. His team's 8-4 record is not bad at all. Okafor is a newcomer at Hokkaido L. and quickly became one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Eric Jacobsen (208-PF-1994) of Cyberdyne Ibaraki Robots (#12). Jacobsen got into 30-points club by scoring 32 points in the last round. He went also for four assists. Despite Jacobsen's great performance the Robots lost 86-96 to slightly higher-ranked Toyama G. (#11, 4-8). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. Ibaraki R. can only dream about fighting for top spots in West. They have rather bad season and 2-10 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Jacobsen has a very solid season. In 12 games in Japan he scored 12.8ppg. He also has 8.7rpg and a FGP of 66.7%.

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)
