Montenegrin Forward Marko Todorovic (208-F-1992) had a great game in the last round for second-ranked New Taipei CTBC DEA, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 9.
The 33-year old player had a double-double of 34 points and 17 rebounds, while his team edged out Kings (#6, 4-7) 114-111. N.Taipei CTBC maintains the 2nd position in Taiwanese TPBL. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. N.Taipei CTBC will need more victories to improve their 7-5 record. In the team's last game Todorovic had a remarkable 68.8% from 2-point range. He turned to be N.Taipei CTBC's top player in his first season with the team. Marko Todorovic has solid league stats. He is in league's top in points (6th best: 19.7ppg), rebounds (4th best: 11.9rpg) and averages impressive 52.7% FGP.

The second best player in last round's games was young American Jalen Harris (196-SG-1998) of New Taipei Kings. Harris had a very good evening with 31 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Bad luck as Kings was edged by the higher-ranked N.Taipei CTBC (#2, 7-5) 114-111. Kings 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 4-7 record. Harris is a newcomer at Kings, but is already one of team's top players.

Third on the list of top players last round was Ukrainian Bogdan Bliznyuk (198-SF-1995) of Kaohsiung Aquas (#7). Bliznyuk showcased his all-around game by recording 20 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists (!!!) in the last round. He was a key player of Aquas, leading his team to a 99-89 win against slightly higher-ranked Lioneers (#5, 4-6). The chances of Kaohsiung A. not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 9 games, recording just four victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Bliznyuk could try to bring Kaohsiung A.'s a little bit higher in the standings. Bliznyuk has a very solid season. In 5 games in Taiwan he scored 21.6ppg.

Other top performing players last week:
4. Drew Pember (211-F/C-2000) of Lioneers - 19 points and 17 rebounds
5. Brandon Gilbeck (213-C-1996) of Dreamers - 20 points and 11 rebounds
6. Lasan Kromah (198-SG-1991) of Taiwan Beer L. - 31 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists

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.
