Euroleague - Euroleague-round-31-best-performance-Kendrick-Nunn
American Shooting guard Kendrick Nunn (194-SG-1995) had an amazing evening in the last round for Panathinaikos Aktor Athens, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 31.
The 29-year old player was the main contributor (26 points, five rebounds and eight assists) to his team's victory, helping them to beat M.Tel-Aviv (#16, 10-21) 99-92. Panathinaikos maintains the 3rd position in Euroleague . They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Panathinaikos will need more victories to improve their 20-11 record. In the team's last game Nunn had a remarkable five three-pointers out of 10 attempts. It's his second year at Panathinaikos and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Former Oakland University star has very solid stats this year. Nunn is in league's top in points (2nd best: 20.2ppg) and averages impressive 57.2% FGP and 40.9% from behind 3-point line.
The second best player in last round's games was young Bulgarian Aleksandar Vezenkov (204-F-1995) of league's leader
Olympiacos S.F.P. Piraeus. Vezenkov had a very good evening with a double-double of 25 points and 10 rebounds. Bad luck as Olympiacos lost that game 70-81 to the lower-ranked ASVEL (#15, 12-19). Olympiacos managed to keep the same 1st spot in the standings. His team has currently 22-9 record. Vezenkov is a newcomer at Olympiacos, but is already one of team's top players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 20.2ppg (#1). He also registered 6.6 boards per game.Third on the list of top players last round was American center Brandon Davies (208-C-1991) of
KK Partizan Mozzart Bet Beograd (#11). Davies scored 22 points. He was a key player of Partizan, leading his team to a 85-71 easy win against the lower-ranked ALBA (#18, 5-26). Partizan needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 16 victories and 15 lost games. Davies has a very solid season. In 30 games in Euroleague he scored 9.7ppg.Other top performing players last week:

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)
