Ibrahim Haddad
22-year old Ibrahim Haddad (98) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Moutahed and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 13.
He had the game-high 24 points adding nine rebounds and two assists for Moutahed in his team's victory, helping them to crush Homentmen (#9, 2-8) with 24-point margin 97-73. Moutahed maintains the 7th position in Lebanese league. Moutahed is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 4-6 record. Haddad has many years of experience at Moutahed, through which he has constantly improved. Haddad has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (2nd best: 1.3ppg).
Second best performed player last round was Naim Rabay (206-C) of Beirut Club. He is a center in his first season at Beirut Club. In the last game Rabay recorded impressive double-double of 18 points and 12 rebounds. Of course he led Beirut Club to another comfortable win outscoring Anibal (#10, 0-10) 82-59. This victory allowed Beirut Club to move up to 5th position in the standings. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 6-4 record is not bad and everything may still change. Rabay is a newcomer at Beirut Club and despite he is not a team leader yet, every game he becomes more reliable player. Hopefully performances like the last one will happen more often.
Third place about best performers goes to Mohamad Skaf of Byblos (#8). Skaf scored 18 points and grabbed thirteen rebounds (!!!). He was a key player of Byblos, leading his team to a 72-69 win against slightly higher-ranked Hoops (#6, 6-4). The chances of Byblos ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 6 games, recording just four victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Skaf could help Byblos to bring them higher in the standings. Skaf has a great season in Lebanon. After 10 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 8.8rpg (4th best).

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)
