Diego Peralta (195-SF-1994) had an amazing evening in the last round for Salta Basket and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents La Liga Argentina Player of the Week award for round 26.
The 29-year old had a double-double of 24 points and 11 rebounds, while his team beat Colon SF (#14, 3-12) 76-70. The game was not the highest importance and did not have significant influence on top of the standings in Conferencia Norte. Salta Basket is placed at 10th position in Argentinian La Liga Argentina. Salta Basket is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 7-11 record. It's Peralta's second year at Salta Basket and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Diego Peralta averages this season 13.5ppg and 6.6rpg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young power forward Juan Bellozas (195-PF-1993) of Union de Mar del Plata. Bellozas impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 22 points and 12 rebounds. Bad luck as U.Mar del Plata lost that game 69-78 to the higher-ranked Villa Mitre (#5, 11-7). U.Mar del Plata managed to keep the same 16th spot in Conferencia Sur. 13 lost games are too many comparing to just five victories U.Mar del Plata managed to get this year. Bellozas is one of the most experienced players at U.Mar del Plata and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 16.4ppg (#6). He also registered 10.0 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was Bruno Caribaux (181-PG-2003) of Jachal Basquet Club (#15). Caribaux showcased his all-around game by recording 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Jachal, leading his team to a 81-74 win against the higher-ranked Amancay (#11, 6-9). Jachal can only dream about fighting for top spots in Conferencia Norte. They have rather bad season and 2-13 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Caribaux has a very solid season. In 15 games in Argentina he scored 15.5ppg. He also has 4.5apg, 2.1spg and a FGP of 51.1%.
