American Matt Dade (198-F) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's second-best Lanus Buenos Aires and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents La Liga Argentina Player of the Week award for round 7.
The forward had the game-high 28 points adding three rebounds and four assists for Lanus in his team's victory, helping them to beat H.Americano (#5, 1-3) 78-67. Lanus maintains the 2nd position in their group in the Argentinian La Liga Argentina. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Lanus already had a very good start winning all 4 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Dade had a remarkable 90.0% from 2-point range. He turned to be Lanus' top player in his first season with the team. Millersville University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Dade is in league's top in points (7th best: 16.3ppg) and averages solid 71.0% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young Juan Luis Abeiro (200-C/F-1988) of Deportivo Norte de Armstrong. Abeiro impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 27 points and 12 rebounds. Bad luck as Dep Norte lost that game 64-69 to Conferencia Norte-A's leader Rivadavia (#2, 3-0). This loss caused Dep Norte to drop to 6th position in Conferencia Norte-A. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 1-2 record. Abeiro is a newcomer at Dep Norte and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 19.3ppg (#2). He also registered 8.7 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was Italian Damian Tintorelli (205-C-1981) of Comunicaciones Mercedes (#3). Tintorelli scored 21 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. He was a key player of Comunicaciones, leading his team to a 103-71 easy win against Estudiantes T. (#7, 0-4). Comunicaciones needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams in Conferencia Norte-B. Their record at this point is 3 victories and 1 lost game. Tintorelli has a very solid season. In 4 games in Argentina he scored 15.3ppg. Damian Tintorelli has also Argentinian passport and can play in the league with a status of domestic player.
