Franco Aguerre had a great game in the last round for Riachuelo de La Rioja and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 44.
The had a double-double of 28 points and 16 rebounds, while his team beat Obera (#10, 19-19) 95-81. The game was not the highest importance and did not have significant influence on top of the standings. Riachuelo maintains the 15th position in Argentinian La Liga. Riachuelo 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 16-22 record. Aguerre turned to be Riachuelo's top player in his first season with the team. Franco Aguerre averages just after three games 15.3ppg and 11.0rpg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young American power forward Jackson Stormo (206-F/C-1999) of Obera Tennis Club. Stormo impressed basketball fans with 21 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Bad luck as Obera lost that game 81-95 to the lower-ranked Riachuelo LR (#15, 16-22). The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. Obera keeps 10th position. His team lost some distance to top teams. But a 19-19 record is not bad and everything may still change. Stormo is one of the most experienced players at Obera and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

The third best performed player last round was Colombian Juan Cardenas (201-PG-1997) of Gimnasia y Esgrima Comodoro Rivadavia (#5). Cardenas scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. He was a key player of Gimnasia, leading his team to a 90-85 win against slightly lower-ranked Boca (#7, 21-15). Gimnasia needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 22 victories and 15 lost games. Cardenas has a great season in Argentina. After 22 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 7.9rpg (7th best).
