Dutch Forward Jediael Cordilia (206-F-2002) had a great game in the last round for Kanazawa Samuraiz, receiving a Hoops Agents B3 League Player of the Week award for round 29.
The 23-year old player had a double-double of 23 points and 11 rebounds, while his team crushed Shinagawa (#13, 8-20) with 18-point margin 86-68. The game rather meaningless between the teams, which do not have any influence on top of the standings. Samuraiz is placed at 10th position in Japanese B3 League. Kanazawa is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 10-16 record. Cordilia turned to be Samuraiz's top player in his first season with the team. Jediael Cordilia averages this season 14.9ppg and 7.4rpg.

The second best player in last round's games was young American Jacob Polakovich (208-C-2000) of Shanan United. Polakovich had a very good evening with a double-double of 26 points and 15 rebounds. Bad luck as United lost that game 73-80 to the higher-ranked Kagawa FA (#2, 18-7). Shanan Utd managed to keep the same 9th spot in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 13-14 record. Polakovich is a newcomer at Shanan Utd, but is already one of team's top players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 20.5ppg (#4). He also registered 12.5 boards per game.

Third on the list of top players last round was American forward Victor Hart (203-F-2001) of Shinagawa City Basketball Club (#13). Hart got into 30-points club by scoring 31 points in the last round. He went also for ten rebounds . Despite Hart's great performance the Shinagawa lost 73-82 to the higher-ranked Kanazawa (#10, 10-16). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. Shinagawa can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have rather bad season and 8-20 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Hart has individually a great season in Japan. After 22 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 24.0ppg (best scorer) and rebounds with 11.0rpg (3rd best). He also has 2.6spg, 1.1bpg and a FGP of 55.3%.

4. Marius Grazulis (211-F-2002) of Shinagawa - 16 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists

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)
