American Guard Tyrone White (201-G-90) had a very impressive game in the last round for second-ranked Peja, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 10.
The 31-year old player recorded a triple-double of 24 points adding also 10 rebounds and 11 assists, while his team outclassed Kamza (#7, 2-8) with 37-point margin 113-76. Peja maintains the 2nd position in Liga Unike . They would have been even better if they hadn’t lost a few games earlier this season. Peja will need more victories to improve their 7-3 record. In the team’s last game White had a remarkable 62.5% from 2-point range. He turned to be Peja’s top player in his first season with the team. Former California State University Bakersfield star has very solid stats this year. White is in league’s top in points (4th best: 22.0ppg) and averages impressive 63.6% FGP.
The second best player in last round’s games was 26-year old American Milik Yarbrough (198-F-95) of Rahoveci. Yarbrough had a very good evening with 31 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. It was enough for Rahoveci to edge the higher-ranked Prizreni-16 (#3, 6-4) 98-92. Rahoveci’s 6th position in the standings has not changed. His team is not often considered as one of the league’s best with a mere 4-6 record. Yarbrough is a newcomer at Rahoveci, but is already one of team’s top players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 22.0ppg (#3). He also registered 8.6 boards per game.
Third on the list of top players last round was another Peja’s star – American forward Edgar Garibay (208-F-90). Garibay showcased his all-around game by recording 19 points, ten rebounds and six assists in the last round. He was another key player of Peja, helping his team with a 113-76 easy win against the lower-ranked Kamza (#7, 2-8). Peja needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 7 victories and 3 lost games. Garibay has a very solid season. In 3 games in Liga Unike he scored 8.0ppg.

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)
