43-year old power forward Pablo Martinez (197-PF-1982) had a great game in the last round for Club Sportivo Suardi and receives a Hoops Agents La Liga Argentina Player of the Week award for round 44.
He had a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds, while his team beat Amancay (#2, 17-8) 90-81. Suardi maintains the 9th position in their group in the Argentinian La Liga Argentina. Suardi 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 12-11 record. Martinez has many years of experience at Suardi, through which he has constantly improved. Pablo Martinez averages this season 12.9ppg and 6.5rpg.

Second best performed player last round was Juan Rodriguez (196-F-2002) of Fusion Riojana. He is a forward in his first season at Riojana. In the last game Rodriguez recorded an impressive 22 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. It was enough for Riojana to edge slightly lower-ranked Comunicaciones (#15, 8-12) by 6 points 86-80. The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the top position in Conferencia Norte. But Riojana managed to improve slightly their position in standings taking 14th place. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 9-15 record. Rodriguez is a newcomer at Riojana and quickly became one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Facundo Sanz (197-F-1996, agency: BIG) of El Talar Buenos Aires (#15). Sanz scored 23 points and grabbed 12 rebounds (!!!). Despite Sanz's great performance the El Talar lost 78-79 to slightly higher-ranked Rocamora (#13, 8-13). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of El Talar not to end season at such low position in Conferencia Sur, however are less than slim as they have already lost 15 games, recording just seven victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Sanz could try to bring El Talar's a little bit higher in the standings. Sanz has a very solid season. In 18 games in Argentina he scored 10.2ppg. He also has 6.9rpg and a FGP of 55.3%.
