American Guard Michael Flowers (185-G-1999) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Kirchheim, receiving a Hoops Agents ProA Player of the Week award for round 33.
The 23-year old player was the main contributor (31 points, three rebounds and eight assists) to his team’s victory, helping them to beat Giessen (#4, 20-13) 97-82. Kirchheim maintains the 11th position in German ProA. Kirchheim is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 16-17 record. In the team’s last game Flowers had a remarkable 85.7% from 2-point range and got three three-pointers out of 7 attempts. He turned to be Kirchheim’s top player in his first season with the team. Former Washington State University star has very solid stats this year. Flowers is in league’s top in points (5th best: 16.9ppg) and averages impressive 52.8% FGP.
The second best player in last round’s games was young American Tajuan Agee (201-PF-1997) of league’s leader Vechta. Agee had a very good evening with 25 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. It was enough for Vechta to edge the lower-ranked Artland (#6, 19-14) 98-94. Of course Vechta still keep the league’s top spot. His team lost just six games this season, while they won 27 matches. Agee is a newcomer at Vechta, but is already one of team’s top players.
Third on the list of top players last round was American forward Khalid Thomas (208-F) of Bremerhaven (#8). Thomas scored 25 points and grabbed eleven rebounds (!!!). He was a key player of Bremerhaven, leading his team to a 79-77 win against the lower-ranked Trier (#13, 14-19). Bremerhaven needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 18 victories and 15 lost games. Thomas has a very solid season. In 12 games in Germany he scored 12.3ppg. He also has 4.8rpg and FGP: 53.7%.

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)
