Experienced Juan Luis Abeiro (200-C/F-1988) had a great game in the last round for Atletico Juventud Florentino Ameghino and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents La Liga Argentina Player of the Week award for round 44.
The 35-year old had the game-high 21 points adding six rebounds and two assists for Ameghino in his team's victory, helping them to beat Dep Viedma (#4, 17-11) 86-76. Ameghino is placed at 8th position in Argentinian La Liga Argentina. Ameghino is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 13-14 record. Abeiro has many years of experience at Ameghino, through which he has constantly improved. Juan Luis Abeiro averages this season 14.1ppg and 7.2rpg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young American center Dishon Lowery (200-C-1998) of Club Atletico Pilar. Lowery impressed basketball fans with 21 points and 7 rebounds. Bad luck as Pilar lost that game 73-99 to the higher-ranked Ameghino (#8, 13-14). This loss caused Pilar to drop to 11th position in Conferencia Sur. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 13-16 record. Lowery is a newcomer at Pilar and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders.

The third best performed player last round was Rodrigo Acuna (198-PF-1995) of Quilmes Mar del Plata (#7). Acuna scored 28 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Despite Acuna's great performance the Quilmes MP lost 74-77 to the higher-ranked Lanus (#1, 24-7). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Quilmes MP ranking at the top of Conferencia Sur, however are very questionable as they have already lost 14 games, recording just thirteen victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Acuna could help Quilmes MP to bring them higher in the standings. Acuna has a very solid season. In 27 games in Argentina he scored 12.2ppg. He also has 4.8rpg and a FGP of 66.9%.
