Experienced Algerian Mohamed Harat (198-SF-1990) put on an amazing game in the last round for Al Nasr Riyadh and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 12.
The 35-year old had a double-double of 29 points and 18 rebounds, while his team crushed Al Fateh (#6, 5-8) with 19-point margin 92-73. Al Nasr is placed at 3rd position in Saudi Arabian SBL. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Al Nasr will need more victories to improve their 10-3 record. In the team's last game Harat had a remarkable 72.7% from 2-point range. He turned to be Al Nasr's top player in his first season with the team. Harat has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in rebounds (2nd best: 14.1rpg), assists (6th best: 4.7apg) and averages solid 65.9% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young Serbian center Lazar Nekic (213-C-1999) of Al Fateh Al Hasa. Nekic impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 32 points and 12 rebounds. Bad luck as Al Fateh lost that game 73-92 to the higher-ranked Al Nasr (#3, 10-3). Al Fateh managed to keep the same 6th spot in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 5-8 record. Nekic is a newcomer at Al Fateh and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 23.2ppg (#5). He also registered 11.4 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was American Tyler Stone (203-PF-1991, agency: Octagon Europe) of second-ranked Al Ahli Jeddah. Stone got into 30-points club by scoring exactly 30 points in the last round. He went also for ten rebounds and four assists. He was a key player of Al Ahli, leading his team to a 115-51 easy win against the lower-ranked Al Khewaildia (#8, 2-10). Many experts and fans count Al Ahli as a contender for championship title. Another victory and another confirmation that they may be right. Just look at their record: 12 victories and only one lost game. Stone has a great season in Saudi Arabia. After only 6 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 28.5ppg (2nd 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)
