She had a double-double of 21 points and 18 rebounds, while her team was edged out by Whye Nam (#9, 2-2) 59-58. The game rather meaningless between the teams, which do not have any influence on top of the standings. SG Basketball moved-up to the 12th position in Singapore WNBL. Too late to salvage the team, which is currently ranked such low. They already lost 5 games and recorded just one victory.

It was enough for Adroit SG to edge the lower-ranked Jumpshot (#10, 2-3) by 2 points 57-55. This victory allowed Adroit SG to move up to 4th position in the standings. Her team's 4-2 record is not bad at all. Sim is a newcomer at Adroit SG and quickly became one of team's most reliable players.
Third place about best performers goes to Jia-Min Lim of league's leader Qian Xi Red. Lim scored 18 points and passed five assists. She was a key player of Qian Xi Red, leading her team to a 75-48 easy win against the lower-ranked Qian Xi Blue (#8, 2-2). Qian Xi Red started extremely well this year.

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)
