International Forward Jonatan Machado (200-F-93) had a great game in the last round for Astros and that's him to receive a Interperformances LNBP Player of the Week award for round 4.

The 27-year old forward had the game-high 21 points adding four rebounds and three assists for Astros in his team's victory, helping them to outclass, the league's bottom-ranked team Abejas (#6, 0-4) with 33-point margin 108-75. Astros maintains the 4th position in their group in Mexican LNBP. Astros 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 2-2 record. It was one of impressive evenings for Machado as usually he does not deliver so high stats. Jonatan Machado averages this season 10.5ppg.



The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 26-year old American shooting guard Jordan Adams (196-SG-94) of Libertadores. Adams impressed basketball fans with 35 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Bad luck as Libertadores lost that game 101-108 to slightly higher-ranked Soles (2-2). This loss caused Libertadores to drop to 5th position in West. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 2-2 record is not bad and everything may still change. Adams is a newcomer at Libertadores and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 29.3ppg (#3). His other stats are also decent: 5.3rpg and 4.5apg.



The third best performed player last round was American Will Artino (211-C/F-92) of second-ranked Panteras. Artino scored 25 points and grabbed fifteen rebounds (!!!). Despite Artino's great performance Panteras lost 84-90 to #1 ranked Aaguacateros. But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. The last thing Panteras needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams in West. Their record is 2 victories and 2 lost games. Artino has a great season in Mexico. After only 4 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 19.3ppg (7th best) and rebounds with 9.0rpg (6th best).

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)
