Experienced American Anthony Danridge (196-F-86) had a very impressive game in the last round for league's second-best Atenas and that's him to receive a Latinbasket.com Ascenso Player of the Week award for round 15. The 31-year old forward had a double-double of 28 points and ten rebounds, while his team beat Cordon (#3, 7-4) 88-73. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Atenas maintains the 2nd position in Uruguayan Ascenso. They are still close to the very top. Atenas would have been even better if they kept winning the games like in the last round. They have a solid 10-2 record. Danridge has many years of experience at Atenas, through which he has constantly improved. University of New Mexico graduate has very impressive stats this year. Danridge is in league's top in points (3rd best: 25.3ppg) and averages solid 56.0% FGP.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 24-year old American forward Tirrell Brown (198-F-93) of Colon. Brown impressed basketball fans with 34 points and 8 rebounds. Bad luck as Colon lost that game 74-85 to league's leader Sayago (#1, 12-0). Colon are still at the very bottom. 10 lost games are too many comparing to just three victories Colon managed to get this year. Brown is one of the most experienced players at Colon and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 21.6ppg (#8). He also registered 9.0 boards per game.
The third best performed player last round was American Gerel Simmons (188-G-93) of Verdirrojo (#8). Simmons scored 26 points and grabbed ten rebounds. He was a key player of Verdirrojo, leading his team to a 66-65 win against slightly higher-ranked 25 de Agosto (#7, 6-7). The chances of Verdirrojo 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, Simmons could help Verdirrojo to bring them higher in the standings. Simmons has a great season in Uruguay. After 12 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 27.2ppg (best scorer).
Other top performing players last week: 4. Paul Harrison (203-C-89) of Sayago - 20 points, 18 rebounds and 5 assists 5. Tyronne McNeal (211-C-87) of Marne - 22 points and 16 rebounds 6. Joe Efese (198-F) of Capitol - 24 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists 7. Alvaro Taibo (190-F-80) of Auriblanco - 27 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists 8. Camilo Colman (191-G-90) of Auriblanco - 19 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists 9. Hector Silva (192-F-90) of Capitol - 21 points and 4 rebounds 10. Octavio Medina (195-F-96) of Stockolmo - 22 points and 9 rebounds
