American Donte McGill (190-G-1995) had a great game in the last round for Al Nassr Riyadh and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 4.
The 29-year old guard had a double-double of 44 points and 11 rebounds, while his team outclassed, the league's bottom-ranked team Ohod (#10, 0-4) with 38-point margin 122-84. Al Nassr maintains the 3rd position in Saudi Arabian SBL. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Al Nassr already had a very good start winning all 4 without losing a single one. In the team's last game McGill had a remarkable 78.3% from 2-point range. He turned to be Al Nassr's top player in his first season with the team. Florida International University graduate has very impressive stats this year. McGill is league's best scorer averaging so far 42.0ppg. McGill is in league's top in rebounds (9th best: 10.0rpg), assists (8th best: 4.0apg) and averages solid 71.6% FGP and 41.2% from behind 3-point line. Worth to mention McGill played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which helped him get the job in pro basketball.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was another Al Nassr's star - young American shooting guard Erik McCree (202-SG-1993). McCree impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 34 points and 12 rebounds. Of course together with McGill he helped Al Nassr Riyadh with another comfortable win outscoring Ohod (#10, 0-4) 122-84. Al Nassr's 3rd position in the standings has not changed. A very good start of the season for his team, which won so far all 4 games without any defeat. McCree is a newcomer at Al Nassr 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 American Shadell Millinghaus (188-G-1994) of Al Fateh Al Hasa (#8). Millinghaus showcased his all-around game by recording 25 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Al Fateh, leading his team to a 94-64 easy win against Ohod (#10, 0-4). Al Fateh can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have rather bad season and 1-3 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Millinghaus has individually a great season in Saudi Arabia. After only 4 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 22.5ppg (6th best) and assists with 6.3apg (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)
