Serbian Power forward Milivoje Mijovic (200-PF-1991, agency: 011 Sports) had an amazing evening in the last round for Craiova, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 16.
The 31-year old player had a double-double of 23 points and 14 rebounds, while his team beat Ploiesti CSM (#6, 8-7) 71-61. Craiova is placed at 5th position in Romanian Liga Nationala. They would have been even better if they hadn’t lost a few games earlier this season. Craiova will need more victories to improve their 8-6 record. In the team’s last game Mijovic had a remarkable 62.5% from 2-point range. It was one of impressive evenings for him as usually he does not deliver so high stats. Milivoje Mijovic averages this season 11.9ppg and 5.7rpg.

The second best player in last round’s games was young Serbian Strahinja Jovanovic (185-PG-1996) of Steaua B.. Jovanovic had a very good evening with 23 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists. Bad luck as Steaua B. was edged by the higher-ranked Timisoara (#1, 9-5) 88-84. Steaua B. managed to keep the same 6th spot in Group B. His team is not often considered as one of the league’s best with a mere 6-8 record. Jovanovic is a newcomer at Steaua B., but is already one of team’s top players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 17.9ppg (#4). He also recorded 5.2 assists per game.

Third on the list of top players last round was American forward Mark Ogden (206-F-1994) of league’s top team Oradea. Ogden scored 17 points and grabbed fifteen rebounds (!!!). He was a key player of Oradea, leading his team to a 103-86 easy win against #4 ranked Galati in a game of the week. Many experts and fans count Oradea as a contender for championship title. Another victory and another confirmation that they may be right. Just look at their record: 14 victories and only one lost game. They are currently at the very top of the standings in Group B. Ogden has a very solid season. In 14 games in Romania he scored 13.1ppg. He also has 6.7rpg and FGP: 69.8%.

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)
