Very expected game in Puerto Varas where 5th ranked Vial Basket (1-4) was rolled over by first ranked Aleman (3-1) 74-43 on Saturday.

BRANDON ROBINSON
Hebei Xianglan (NBL) added to their roster 29-year old American forward Brandon Robinson (198-91kg-89, college: Clayton & State). He played last season at Las Animas in Chilean Liga Nacional. In 41 games he recorded very impressive stats: 24.9ppg, 5.2rpg, 3.1apg and 1.9spg. Robinson helped them to win the league title. A very spectacular season in his career as he was selected Latinbasket.com All-Chilean Liga Nacional Player of the Year and voted to 1st Team. He was also named League Player of the Week (3 times). Robinson is quite experienced player. Thanks to his pro career he managed to play on three different continents (Europe, Latin America and of course North America) in four different countries. Robinson has played previously professionally in Canada (Halifax Rainmen, The Storm, Power and Windsor Express), Germany (Chemnitz and Crailsheim Merlins), SEBL (Marietta O.) and UBA (Gem City S.). He attended Clayton & State until 2011 and it will be his eighth season as a professional player. The scouts decsribe him following way:
Mr. Quickness. Vary fast. Many steals. You'd better not leave him any space. Run on the basket very well. Very 'tricky' shots.
Can get 3-pointer. Sometimes relies too much on his long-distance shot.

Forward Ramon Villacura (189-F-87) had a very impressive game in the last round for top-ranked Boston Coll., receiving a Interperformances Libcentro Pro Player of the Week award for round 5. The 30-year old player had a double-double of 21 points and 13 rebounds, while his team crushed, the league's bottom-ranked team Estadio Esp (#5, 0-3) with 21-point margin 88-67.

Forward Ramon Villacura (189-F-87) had a very impressive game in the last round for top-ranked Boston Coll., receiving a Interperformances Libcentro Pro Player of the Week award for round 5. The 30-year old player had a double-double of 21 points and 13 rebounds, while his team crushed, the league's bottom-ranked team Estadio Esp (#5, 0-3) with 21-point margin 88-67. It allowed Boston Coll. to consolidate first place in the Chilean Libcentro Pro. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Boston Coll. already had a very good start winning all 3 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Villacura had a remarkable 88.9% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Boston Coll., being already a very valuable addition to the team. Ramon Villacura has solid league stats. He is in league's top in rebounds (3rd best: 11.8rpg) and averages impressive 2.3spg and 64.3% FGP.
The second best player in last round's games was Juan Carrasco of CDE Esp. Talca. Carrasco had a very good evening with 19 points and 8 assists. It was enough for CDE Esp. Talca to edge the higher-ranked Aleman (#1, 2-1) 93-89. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the top position in Group IV. CDE Esp. Talca consolidated its place in top 4 of the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 2-3 record. Carrasco is one of the most experienced players at CDE Esp. Talca and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.
Third on the list of top players last round was another CDE Esp. Talca's star - Gabriel Caceres. Caceres scored 13 points and grabbed seventeen rebounds (!!!). He was another key player of CDE Esp. Talca, helping his team with a 93-89 win against #1 ranked Aleman. The chances of CDE Esp. Talca ranking at the top of Group IV, however are very questionable as they have already lost 3 games, recording just two victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Caceres could help CDE Esp. Talca to bring them higher in the standings. Caceres has a great season in Chile. After only 3 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 10.0rpg (5th best).
Other top performing players last week: 4. Ricardo Gomez (176-PG-93) of Puente Alto - 23 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists 5. Gustavo Contreras (190-F-84) of Arabe R. - 24 points and 4 assists 6. Felix Ibarra (187-G-93) of Puente Alto - 15 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists 7. Sascha Frings (202-F/C-86) of Brisas - 21 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists 8. Pablo Barraza (184-G-94) of CDE Esp. Talca - 17 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists
