29-year old American forward Jeremy Arthur (199-F-1994) had an amazing evening in the last round for Shutis Sharks Ulaanbaatar and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 26.
He had the game-high 41 points adding six rebounds and two assists for Sharks as his team lost the game against Brothers (#8, 10-14) 93-98. Sharks maintains the 13th position in Mongolian league. Too late to salvage the team, which is currently ranked at the very bottom. They already lost 19 games and recorded just five victories. In the team's last game Arthur had a remarkable 72.2% from 2-point range and got four three-pointers out of 7 attempts. He turned to be Sharks' top player in his first season with the team. Franklin Pierce University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Arthur is in league's top in points (9th best: 18.6ppg) and averages solid 51.2% FGP and 43.4% from behind 3-point line. Worth to mention Arthur played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which helped him get the job in pro basketball.

Second best performed player last round was Batbayar Enkh-Amgalan (SG) of Zavkhan Brothers. He is a guard in his second season at Brothers. In the last game Enkh-Amgalan recorded an impressive double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds. It was enough for Brothers to edge the lower-ranked Sharks (#13, 5-19) by 5 points 98-93. Brothers' 8th position in the standings has not changed. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 10-14 record. Enkh-Amgalan is well-known at Brothers and he already established his position as one of the team's leaders.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Oyunzul Bayanbaatar (SG) of Mongolians Basketball Team (#11). Bayanbaatar got into 30-points club by scoring 37 points in the last round. He went also for five rebounds . Despite Bayanbaatar's great performance the Mongolians lost 105-106 to the higher-ranked Apes (#1, 19-5). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. Mongolians can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have rather bad season and 7-17 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Bayanbaatar has a very solid season. In 24 games in Mongolia he scored 15.3ppg.

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)
