Ryan Logan
American Ryan Logan (200-F-1994) had an amazing evening in the last round for league’s second-best Boras and that’s him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
The 28-year old forward had the game-high 24 points adding seven rebounds and six assists for Boras in his team’s victory, helping them to beat Umea (#7, 2-2) 88-73. Boras maintains the 2nd position in Swedish Basketligan. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Boras already had a very good start winning all 4 without losing a single one. In the team’s last game Logan had a remarkable 75.0% from 2-point range. It was one of impressive evenings for him as usually he does not deliver so high stats. Stonehill College graduate has very impressive stats this year. Logan is in league’s top in assists (3rd best: 6.0apg) and averages solid 88.2% FGP.
The second most remarkable performance in last round’s games was young Serbian power forward Lazar Radosavljevic (204-PF-1991) of Sodertalje. Radosavljevic impressed basketball fans with 24 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists. Of course Sodertalje cruised to a 81-74 relatively comfortable win over Uppsala (#11, 0-5). Sodertalje’s 8th position in the standings has not changed. His team is not often considered as one of the league’s best with a mere 2-3 record. Radosavljevic is one of the most experienced players at Sodertalje and has a reputation of one of team’s most reliable players.
The third best performed player last round was Slovenian Jan Tratnik (190-SG-1989) of Kalmar (#10). Tratnik showcased his all-around game by recording 26 points, ten rebounds and nine assists in the last round. Despite Tratnik’s great performance Kalmar lost 87-89 to the league’s current leader BC Lulea (#1, 4-0). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. Tratnik has individually a great season in Sweden. After only 4 games, he made it on the list of the league’s leaders in points with 17.8ppg (5th best) and assists with 4.5apg (9th 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)
