Shooting guard Ilias Kamardine (193-SG-03) had a very impressive game in the last round for Dijon, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 15.
The 18-year old player was the main contributor (37 points, four rebounds and seven assists) to his team’s victory, helping them to crush Le Mans (#11, 6-8) with 18-point margin 92-74. Dijon maintains the 3rd position in French ProA U21. They would have been even better if they hadn’t lost a few games earlier this season. Dijon will need more victories to improve their 10-3 record.

Bad luck as Roanne was edged by the higher-ranked Levallois (#5, 9-5) 58-56. This loss caused Roanne to drop to 13th position in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league’s best with a mere 5-8 record. Minkonda is well-known at Roanne and is a proven leader in his second season with the team.

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)
