Omar Canton

Horacio Rigada put on an amazing game in the last round for ROCAMORA and receives a Hoops Agents La Liga Argentina Player of the Week award for round 32.
He had the game-high 17 points adding nine rebounds for Rocamora in his team's victory, helping them to edge out Ciclista (#8, 7-9) 78-74. Rocamora maintains the 13th position in their group in Argentinian La Liga Argentina. Rocamora is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 5-11 record. In the team's last game Rigada had a remarkable 62.5% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Rocamora, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Horacio Rigada averages this season 7.1ppg.

Second best performed player last round was Omar Canton (205-C-82) of Sp.America. He is naturalized Italian center in his first season at Sp.America. In the last game Canton recorded impressive 23 points and 9 rebounds. It was enough for Sp.America to edge slightly higher-ranked Salta Basket (#6, 12-9) by 4 points 77-73. Sp.America's 8th position in Conferencia Norte has not changed. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 10-9 record is not bad and everything may still change. Canton is one of the most experienced players at Sp.America and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 17.8ppg (#2). He also registered 4.5 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Enzo Filipetti (201-F-01) of PARQUE SUR (#10). Filipetti scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds. He was a key player of Parque Sur, leading his team to a 73-66 win against the higher-ranked Quilmes MP (#4, 9-10). The chances of Parque Sur ranking at the top of Conferencia Sur, however are very questionable as they have already lost 9 games, recording just six victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Filipetti could help Parque Sur to bring them higher in the standings. Filipetti has a very solid season. In 15 games in Argentina he scored 13.3ppg. He also has 7.9rpg and FGP: 56.9%.
