Nikola Bakraclic (205-F/C-88) had a very impressive game in the last round for Napredak K. and that's him to receive a Eurobasket.com B League Player of the Week award for round 20. The 24-year old power forward had a double-double of 20 points and eleven rebounds, while his team beat Beovuk 72 (#10, 8-12) 80-69. Napredak K. is placed at 3rd position in Serbian B League. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Napredak K. will need more victories to improve their 13-7 record. It was one of impressive evenings for Bakraclic as usually he does not deliver so high stats. Nikola Bakraclic averages this season 5.7ppg.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was -year old Milos Jevtic of Radnicki OB. Jevtic impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 26 points and 12 rebounds. Bad luck as Radnicki OB lost that game 87-97 to the higher-ranked Mladost Zemun (#7, 10-10). Radnicki OB is still in a red zone at 11th spot in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 8-12 record. Jevtic is one of the most experienced players at Radnicki OB and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.
The third best performed player last round was Milos Riboskic (195-G-89) of Beovuk 72 (#10). Riboskic scored 27 points. Despite Riboskic's great performance Beovuk 72 lost 69-80 to the higher-ranked Napredak K. (#3, 13-7). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Beovuk 72 ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 12 games, recording just eight victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Riboskic could help Beovuk 72 to bring them higher in the standings. Riboskic has a very solid season. In 18 games in Serbia he scored 13.9ppg.
Other top performing players last week: 4. Nenad Banjanin (201-F-85) of Mladost Zemun - 25 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists 5. Nikola Pavlovic) of Mladost Zemun - 29 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists 6. Ivan Djurovic) of Meridiana NS - 22 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists 7. Marko Kandic (203-F-79) of Crnokosa - 26 points and 7 rebounds 8. Luka Milojevic (193-G-91) of Napredak K. - 22 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists 9. Petar Lambic (195-G/F-92) of Proleter Naftagas - 7 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists 10. Milos Milisavljevic) of Spartak - 23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists
The Player of the week is chosen 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)

Most important game in remaining three rounds will be played today in Novi Sad, where Vojvodina (7-4 record) will host Radnicki (5-6) in key battle for last remaining spot in ABA League and playoffs [read more]
After 11 out of 14 rounds played in Superliga, it is known that Partizan, Mega Vizura and Crvena zvezda will play in the playoffs (and Adriatic League next season), while Metalac, Sloboda and Konstantin have no chance to finish among top four teams. Most important game in remaining three rounds will be played today in Novi Sad, where Vojvodina (7-4 record) will host Radnicki (5-6) in key battle for last remaining spot in ABA League and playoffs. Vojvodina have big advantage over Muta Nikolic's team - two wins more and '+15' from their first game in Kragujevac. This means that even if team from Novi Sad lose by less than 15 points today, they will be in better position prior to final two rounds. After today's game, Vojvodina will visit Mega Vizura and host Crvena zvezda Telekom. They could win both games, but they could lose both games, too. On the other hand, Radnicki will have easy game against Sloboda at home in Round 13, but in final round they will visit Partizan in 'Pionir'. Easiest way for Vojvodina to secure fourth position is to win today. Radnicki will have to make at least one miracle in remaining three games - to win in Novi Sad by at least 16 points or to win in 'Pionir' against Partizan. However, even if team from Kragujevac make both of these miracles, it will not be enough for them if Vojvodina win their final two games. Everything could be decided today...
