Manatsawe Booddoung (176-G) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's second-best TGE and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 7.
The guard had the game-high 20 points adding two rebounds and seven assists for TGE in his team's victory, helping them to outclass, the league's bottom-ranked team T-REX (#10, 0-8) with 34-point margin 117-83. TGE maintains the 2nd position in Thailand TBL. They are still close to the very top. TGE would have been even better if they kept winning the games like in the last round. They have a solid 7-1 record. In the team's last game Booddoung had a remarkable 88.9% from 2-point range. He turned to be TGE's top player in his first season with the team. Booddoung has impressive league stats. He is league's best scorer averaging so far 14.6ppg. Booddoung is in league's top in assists (5th best: 5.4apg) and averages solid 2.5spg and 60.8% FGP.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was Udomchot Thiamlert of Mad Goat. Thiamlert impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 23 points and 15 rebounds. Bad luck as Mad Goat lost that game 69-89 to league's leader Bangkok Tigers (#1, 8-0). Mad Goat managed to keep the same 9th spot in the standings. 7 lost games are too many comparing to just one victory Mad Goat managed to get this year. Thiamlert is a newcomer at Mad Goat and despite he is not a team leader yet, every game he becomes more reliable player. Hopefully performances like the last one will happen more often.
The third best performed player last round was international center Afnan Charansarn (188-C-97) of SWU (#8). Charansarn scored 19 points and grabbed fourteen rebounds (!!!). Despite Charansarn's great performance SWU lost 68-72 to slightly higher-ranked Shoot it Dragon (#6, 3-5). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. SWU can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have rather bad season and 2-6 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Charansarn has individually a great season in Thailand. After only 8 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 18.1ppg (7th best) and rebounds with 9.9rpg (6th 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)
