International Point guard Alexander Orazbekov (180-PG-2002) had an amazing evening in the last round for BK Astana and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 16.
The 22-year old playmaker had the game-high 24 points adding five rebounds and four assists for Astana Ac. in his team's victory, helping them to crush Barsy Atyrau (#4, 11-9) with 19-point margin 79-60. Astana maintains the 6th position in Kazakhstan National League. Astana 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 9-13 record. In the team's last game Orazbekov had a remarkable 70.0% from 2-point range. It's his second year at Astana and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Alexander Orazbekov averages this season 12.8ppg and 4.6apg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young American power forward Keith Charleston (203-PF-1995, agency: Bell Basketball) of BK Barsy Atyrau. Charleston impressed basketball fans with 10 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Bad luck as Barsy Atyrau lost that game 60-79 to slightly lower-ranked Astana Ac. (#6, 9-13). Barsy Atyrau managed to keep the same 4th spot in the standings. His team's 11-9 record is not bad at all. Charleston is a newcomer at Barsy Atyrau and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders.

The third best performed player last round was another Astana Ac.'s star - international guard Magzhan Sarsengaliev (187-PG-2002). Sarsengaliev scored 20 points. He was another key player of BK Astana, helping his team with a 69-60 win against slightly higher-ranked Barsy Atyrau (#4, 11-9). The chances of Astana ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 13 games, recording just nine victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Sarsengaliev could help Astana Ac. to bring them higher in the standings. Sarsengaliev has a very solid season. In 9 games in Kazakhstan he scored 15.7ppg.

Other top performing players last week:
4. Ramazan Samsin (200-F-2002) of Barsy Atyrau - 22 points and 6 rebounds
5. Sardal Abashidze (196-F-2002) of Astana Ac. - 11 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists
6. Valeriy Simonov (194-G-2002) of Astana Ac. - 13 points and 4 rebounds
7. Alexandr Ermakov (2005) of Barsy Atyrau - 16 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists
8. Vladislav Isaenko (194-G-2004) of Astana Ac. - 6 points and 6 rebounds
9. Amirali Suleimenov (192-G-2003) of Astana Ac. - 9 points and 5 rebounds
10. Abylaikhan Zhandarbek (2006) of Astana Ac. - 3 points, 3 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)
