American Michael Henry (198-G/F-1995) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Lanus Buenos Aires and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents La Liga Argentina Player of the Week award for round 18.
The 30-year old swingman had the game-high 28 points adding five rebounds and three assists for Lanus in his team's victory, helping them to crush Dep Norte (#17, 2-7) with 19-point margin 101-82. Thanks to this victory Lanus moved-up to the 8th position in Argentinian La Liga Argentina. Lanus 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 5-5 record. In the team's last game Henry had a remarkable 100.0% from 2-point range. He turned to be Lanus' top player in his first season with the team. Michael Henry averages this season 15.4ppg and 5.8rpg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young power forward Cristian Amicucci (200-F/C-1985) of Independiente BBC de Santiago del Estero. Amicucci impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 12 points and 18 rebounds. Of course he led Independiente to another comfortable win outscoring the higher-ranked Suardi (#8, 5-5) 105-79. Despite this victory Independiente slide down in the standings to 15th position in Conferencia Norte. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 3-7 record. Amicucci is well-known by Independiente fans and he already established his position as one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 19.0ppg (#3). He also registered 12.8 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was another Independiente's star - American Kobe Julien (198-F-1999). Julien got into 30-points club by scoring 31 points in the last round. He went also for seven rebounds . He was another key player of Independiente BBC de Santiago del Estero, helping his team with a 105-79 easy win against the higher-ranked Suardi (#8, 5-5). The chances of Independiente not to end season at such low position in Conferencia Norte, however are less than slim as they have already lost 7 games, recording just three victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Julien could try to bring Independiente's a little bit higher in the standings. Julien has a very solid season. In 8 games in Argentina he scored 14.1ppg.
