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)
Australian Forward Brock Motum (208-F-90) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for second-ranked Anadolu Efes, receiving a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 13. The 28-year old player was the main contributor (25 points, eight rebounds) to his team’s victory, helping them to outclass Pinar Karsiyaka (#11, 5-8) with 28-point margin 104-76. Anadolu Efes is placed at 2nd position in Turkish BSL. They would have been even better if they hadn’t lost a few games earlier this season. Anadolu Efes will need more victories to improve their 9-3 record. In the team’s last game Motum had a remarkable 81.8% from 2-point range. It’s his second year at Anadolu Efes and it’s hard to imagine this team without him. Brock Motum averages this season 17.2ppg and 6.0rpg.
The second best player in last round’s games was 29-year old American Marcos Knight (188-G-89, agency: BeoBasket) of Afyon. Knight had a very good evening with 24 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Of course Afyon cruised to a 94-84 relatively comfortable win over the higher-ranked Buyukcekmece (#9, 5-7). The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. But Afyon managed to improve slightly their position in standings taking 12th place. His team is not often considered as one of the league’s best with a mere 4-8 record. Knight is well-known at Afyon and is a proven leader in his second season with the team.
Third on the list of top players last round was American center Devin Williams (206-C-94) of Buyukcekmece (#9). Williams scored 17 points and grabbed fourteen rebounds (!!!). Despite Williams’ great performance Buyukcekmece lost 84-94 to the lower-ranked Afyon (#12, 4-8). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Buyukcekmece 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, Williams could help Buyukcekmece to bring them higher in the standings. Williams has a great season in Turkey. After 12 games, he made it on the list of the league’s leaders in points with 19.4ppg (4th best) and rebounds with 12.3rpg (#1 in league).

The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. Artvin dropped in the standings to 10th position. His team is not often considered as one of the league’s best with a mere 5-7 record. Tarrant is a newcomer at Artvin 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 26.3ppg (#1). His other stats are also decent: 4.3rpg and 5.0apg.
The third best performed player last round was American Markus Kennedy (206-C/F-91) of Petkim (#9). Kennedy scored 24 points and grabbed eleven rebounds (!!!).
