American Cordero Bennett (188-G-88) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's second-best Pinheiros and that's him to receive a Latinbasket.com Paulista Player of the Week award for round 17. The 28-year old guard had the game-high 24 points adding four rebounds and seven assists for Pinheiros in his team's victory, helping them to beat Franca (#3, 12-5) 89-78. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Pinheiros maintains the 2nd position in Brazilian Paulista. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Pinheiros will need more victories to improve their 13-5 record. It's Bennett's second year at Pinheiros and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Bennett has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (9th best: 15.2ppg) and averages solid 66.2% FGP.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 31-year old guard Rafael Castellon (G-85) of America. Castellon impressed basketball fans with 30 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Bad luck as America lost that game 74-80 to slightly higher-ranked Rio Claro (#6, 9-8). This loss caused America to drop to 8th position in the standings. 13 lost games are too many comparing to just five victories America managed to get this year. Castellon is a newcomer at America and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders.
The third best performed player last round was Alexandre de Souza (202-SF-92) of L.Sorocaba (#9). de Souza scored 17 points and grabbed nineteen rebounds (!!!). Despite de Souza's great performance L.Sorocaba lost 83-85 in overtime to the higher-ranked Mogi (#1, 14-3). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. L.Sorocaba can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have rather bad season and 4-13 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Too bad for de Souza he does not play for a better team. But maybe if he did, his season stats would not be that high. de Souza has a very solid season. In 15 games in Brazil he scored 3.6ppg.
