American Emily Maupin (192-F-1999) had an amazing evening in the last round for Taiyuan Textile and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
The 26-year old forward had a double-double of 30 points and 11 rebounds, while her team beat Cathay Life (#1, 4-2) 72-57. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Taiyuan Textile is placed at 3rd position in Taiwanese WSBL. Taiyuan T. is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 3-3 record. In the team's last game Maupin had a remarkable 62.5% from 2-point range. She just recently signed at Taiyuan Textile, being already a very valuable addition to the team. The University of Virginia graduate has very impressive stats this year. Maupin is in league's top in points (2nd best: 17.3ppg), rebounds (3rd best: 10.0rpg) and averages solid 51.6% FGP and 50.0% from behind 3-point line.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young international forward Ya-En Han (180-F-1995) of league's best team Cathay Life Tigers. Han impressed basketball fans with 23 points and 7 rebounds. Bad luck as Tigers lost that game 57-72 to slightly lower-ranked Taiyuan T. (#3, 3-3). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Cathay Life still maintains its place as the top team in the standings, even despite this loss. Her team has currently 4-2 record. Han is one of the most experienced players at Cathay Life and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

The third best performed player last round was American Oshlynn Brown (185-F) of Chunghua Telecom (#4). Brown scored 17 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. Despite Brown's great performance the Chunghwa Telecom lost 52-59 to #2 ranked Taipower. But her team cannot count on just a single player as she also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. The chances of Chunghua T. not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 4 games, recording just two victories. With bigger assistance of her teammates, Brown could try to bring Chunghua T.'s a little bit higher in the standings. Brown has individually a great season in Taiwan. After only 6 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 17.8ppg (best scorer), rebounds with 11.7rpg (2nd best) and assists with 2.2apg (9th best).

Other top performing players last week:
4. Wen-Yu Lin (180-C-1995) of Taiyuan T. - 16 points and 7 rebounds
5. Yu-Wen Hsiao (184-C-2005) of Cathay Life - 11 points, 14 rebounds and 2 assists
6. Pei-Xin Song (180-F-1998) of Taipower - 12 points and 6 rebounds
7. Szu-Chin Pan (170-G-1992) of Chunghua T. - 6 points, 9 rebounds and 5 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.
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)
