American Power forward Tyler Stone (203-PF-1991, agency: Octagon Europe) had a great game in the last round for second-ranked Al Ahli Jeddah, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 14.
The 34-year old player had a double-double of 31 points and 16 rebounds, while his team outclassed Ohod (#10, 1-13) with 74-point margin 130-56. Al Ahli maintains the 2nd position in Saudi Arabian SBL. Al Ahli has a very good season and are considered to have a run for the championship title. They improved their record to 13-1. In the team's last game Stone had a remarkable 80.0% from 2-point range. He turned to be Al Ahli's top player in his first season with the team. Former Southeast Missouri State University star has very solid stats this year. Stone is in league's top in points (2nd best: 28.9ppg) and averages impressive 75.0% FGP.

The second best player in last round's games was young American Alex Young (198-F-1989) of Al Salam. Young had a very good evening with 34 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Bad luck as Al Salam lost that game 87-103 to slightly higher-ranked Al Nasr (#3, 11-3). Al Salam managed to keep the same 5th spot in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 6-7 record. Young is a newcomer at Al Salam, but is already one of team's top players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 29.8ppg (#1). His other stats are also decent: 7.2rpg and 3.6apg.

Third on the list of top players last round was Serbian center Lazar Nekic (213-C-1999) of Al Fateh Al Hasa (#6). Nekic scored 27 points and grabbed 13 rebounds (!!!). He was a key player of Al Fateh, leading his team to a 78-66 win against slightly lower-ranked Mudhar (#7, 4-10). The chances of Al Fateh ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 8 games, recording just six victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Nekic could help Al Fateh to bring them higher in the standings. Nekic has a great season in Saudi Arabia. After 14 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 23.4ppg (3rd best) and rebounds with 11.5rpg (8th 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.
