Experienced Franco Pennacchiotti (205-C/F-1990) had an amazing evening in the last round for Villa Mitre de Bahia Blanca and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents La Liga Argentina Player of the Week award for round 6.
The 35-year old had a double-double of 20 points and 14 rebounds, while his team beat Pergamino (#11, 1-2) 90-75. Villa Mitre is placed at 6th position in Argentinian La Liga Argentina. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. But it's just the very beginning of the season and Villa Mitre won both games without losing any. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. In the team's last game Pennacchiotti had a remarkable 72.7% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Villa Mitre, through which he has constantly improved. Franco Pennacchiotti averages just after two games 19.0ppg and 11.0rpg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young Dominican Rep. forward Jorge Garcia (200-F-2003) of Barrio Parque de Cordoba. Garcia impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 23 points and 12 rebounds. Bad luck as Barrio Parque was edged by Conferencia Norte's leader Caroya (#3, 3-0) 81-80. This loss caused Barrio Parque to drop to 15th position in Conferencia Norte. 2 lost games are too many considering they did not win any game. Garcia is a newcomer at Barrio Parque 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 Juan Bellozas (195-PF-1993) of Union de Mar del Plata (#17). Bellozas showcased his all-around game by recording 21 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in the last round. Despite Bellozas' great performance the U.Mar del Plata lost 76-103 to the league's current leader La Union (#1, 3-0). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. U.Mar del Plata can only dream about fighting for top spots in Conferencia Sur. They have awful season losing so far all 5 games. Bellozas has individually a great season in Argentina. After only 5 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 9.4rpg (8th best).
