Power forward Lucas Arn (197-PF-1989) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for second-ranked Atenas Cordoba, receiving a Hoops Agents La Liga Argentina Player of the Week award for round 28.
The 34-year old player was the main contributor (23 points, six rebounds and five assists) to his team's victory, helping them to beat Salta Basket (#11, 7-12) 92-78. Atenas maintains the 2nd position in their group in the Argentinian La Liga Argentina. 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 13-3 record. In the team's last game Arn had a remarkable 57.1% from 2-point range. He turned to be Atenas' top player in his first season with the team. Lucas Arn averages this season 14.7ppg and 6.9rpg.

The second best player in last round's games was young American Josh Morris (203-F-1993) of Club Atletico Villa San Martin. Morris had a very good evening with a double-double of 19 points and 19 rebounds. Bad luck as Villa S.Martin was edged by slightly higher-ranked Dep Norte (#4, 10-6) 81-78. This loss caused Villa S.Martin to drop to 5th position in Conferencia Norte. His team lost some distance to top teams. But a 10-8 record is not bad and everything may still change. Morris is a newcomer at Villa S.Martin, but is already one of team's top players.

Third on the list of top players last round was Diego Peralta (195-SF-1994) of Salta Basket (#11). Peralta scored 27 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. Despite Peralta's great performance the Salta Basket lost 78-92 to the higher-ranked Atenas (#2, 13-3). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Salta Basket not to end season at such low position in Conferencia Norte, however are less than slim as they have already lost 12 games, recording just seven victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Peralta could try to bring Salta Basket's a little bit higher in the standings. Peralta has a very solid season. In 16 games in Argentina he scored 14.3ppg. He also has 6.5rpg and a FGP of 61.2%.
