Vicente Garello

23-year old Vicente Garello (203-SF-97, agency: BIG) had a great game in the last round for Dep Norte and receives a Hoops Agents La Liga Argentina Player of the Week award for round 29.
He had a double-double of 25 points and 13 rebounds, while his team was edged out by Villa S.Martin (#1, 15-5) 100-96. Dep Norte maintains the 11th position in their group in Argentinian La Liga Argentina. Dep Norte is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. But it was their 9th lost game this season out of 14 games. In the team's last game Garello had a remarkable 81.8% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Dep Norte, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Vicente Garello averages this season 18.3ppg and 6.5rpg.

Second best performed player last round was T.J. Robinson (203-F-89) of Riachuelo LR. He is American forward in his first season at Riachuelo LR. In the last game Robinson recorded impressive double-double of 20 points and 15 rebounds. Bad luck as Riachuelo LR lost that game 71-93 to the higher-ranked Sp.America (#8, 8-9). Riachuelo LR managed to keep the same 14th spot in Conferencia Norte. 15 lost games are too many comparing to just four victories Riachuelo LR managed to get this year. Robinson is one of the most experienced players at Riachuelo LR and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to center Omar Canton (205-C-82) of Sp.America (#8). Canton scored 29 points and grabbed seven rebounds. He was a key player of Sp.America, leading his team to a 93-71 easy win against the lower-ranked Riachuelo LR (#14, 4-15). The chances of Sp.America ranking at the top of Conferencia Norte, however are very questionable as they have already lost 9 games, recording just eight victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Canton could help Sp.America to bring them higher in the standings. Canton has a great season in Argentina. After 15 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 18.1ppg (3rd best). He also has FGP: 53.6% and 3PT: 55.7%. Omar Canton has also Argentinian passport and can play in the league with a status of domestic player.
