24-year old point guard Cristian Perez (185-PG-2001) put on an amazing game in the last round for Central Entrerriano Gualeguaychu and receives a Hoops Agents La Liga Argentina Player of the Week award for round 32.
He had the game-high 25 points adding two rebounds and six assists for C.Entrerriano in his team's victory, helping them to edge out Provincial (#1, 14-4) 87-83. C.Entrerriano maintains the 4th position in their group in the Argentinian La Liga Argentina. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. C.Entrerriano will need more victories to improve their 11-5 record. In the team's last game Perez had a remarkable five three-pointers out of 9 attempts. He turned to be C.Entrerriano's top player in his first season with the team. Cristian Perez averages this season 12.5ppg.

Second best performed player last round was Manuel Alonso (195-PG-1999, agency: BIG) of Deportivo Norte de Armstrong. He is a guard in his first season at Dep Norte. In the last game Alonso recorded an impressive 30 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. Bad luck as Dep Norte lost that game 68-74 to the higher-ranked Pico FC (#6, 10-6). Dep Norte managed to keep the same 17th spot in Conferencia Sur. 14 lost games are too many comparing to just four victories Dep Norte managed to get this year. Alonso is a newcomer at Dep Norte and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 18.1ppg (#2). He also registered 4.3 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to Chance Hunter (198-SF-1998) of Salta Basket (#5). Hunter scored 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. He was a key player of Salta Basket, leading his team to a 90-74 easy win against the lower-ranked Riojana (#13, 7-10). Salta Basket needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams in Conferencia Norte. Their record at this point is 10 victories and 6 lost games. Hunter has a great season in Argentina. After 16 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 16.3ppg (7th best). He also has a FGP of 62.1% and 3PT: 44.2%.
