Kenyan-South Sudanese Makur Maker (212-C/F-2000) had a very impressive game in the last round for Taipei Taishin Mars, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 15.
The 25-year old player had a double-double of 32 points and 11 rebounds, while his team beat N.Taipei CTBC (#3, 11-10) 112-104. Mars maintains the 6th position in Taiwanese TPBL. Taipei TM 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 8-10 record. Maker just recently signed at Mars and just after two games he already turned to be a very valuable addition to the team. Makur Maker averages just after two games 28.5ppg, 9.5rpg and 4.5apg.

The second best player in last round's games was young Montenegrin Marko Todorovic (208-F-1992) of New Taipei CTBC DEA. Todorovic had a very good evening with 29 points and 9 rebounds. Of course he led DEA to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Kaohsiung A. (#7, 6-14) 133-91. N.Taipei CTBC's 3rd position in the standings has not changed. His team's 11-10 record is not bad at all. Todorovic is a newcomer at N.Taipei CTBC, but is already one of team's top players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 23.6ppg (#3). He also registered 13.9 boards per game.

Third on the list of top players last round was another Taipei TM's star - American Stanton Kidd (202-SF-1992, agency: JCK Sports Group). Kidd showcased his all-around game by recording 27 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in the last round. He was another key player of Taipei Taishin Mars, helping his team with a 112-104 win against the higher-ranked N.Taipei CTBC (#3, 11-10). The chances of Mars ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 10 games, recording just eight victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Kidd could help Taipei TM to bring them higher in the standings. Kidd has a great season in Taiwan. After 16 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 21.4ppg (5th best).

4. Drew Pember (211-F/C-2000) of Lioneers - 21 points, 10 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.
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)
