Arnaldo Toro
Puerto Rican Arnaldo Toro (203-F/C-1997) had a very impressive game in the last round for Zwolle and that’s him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 10.
The 25-year old power forward had a double-double of 21 points and fifteen rebounds, while his team beat Feyenoord (#6, 5-4) 85-73. Zwolle maintains the 4th position in BNXT-League . They would have been even better if they hadn’t lost a few games earlier this season. Zwolle will need more victories to improve their 6-4 record. It was one of impressive evenings for Toro as usually he does not deliver so high stats. Arnaldo Toro averages this season 9.5ppg and 15.0rpg.
The second most remarkable performance in last round’s games was young point guard Oshean Brathwaite (176-PG-2002) of BAL Weert. Brathwaite impressed basketball fans with 36 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. Bad luck as BAL Weert lost that game 93-100 to the higher-ranked Yoast Utd. (#5, 6-5). BAL Weert managed to keep the same 9th spot in the standings. 10 lost games are too many comparing to just one victory BAL Weert managed to get this year. Brathwaite is one of the most experienced players at BAL Weert and has a reputation of one of team’s most reliable players.
The third best performed player last round was Swedish Viktor Gaddefors (201-F-1992, agency: 011 Sports) of Groningen (#7). Gaddefors scored 18 points and grabbed six rebounds. He was a key player of Groningen, leading his team to a 72-69 win against the higher-ranked Zwolle (#4, 6-4). The chances of Groningen ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 7 games, recording just five victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Gaddefors could help Groningen to bring them higher in the standings. Gaddefors has a very solid season. In 5 games in BNXT-League he scored 11.2ppg.

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)
