American Forward Joe Hampton (203-F-1998) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Estudiantes de Tucuman, receiving a Hoops Agents La Liga Argentina Player of the Week award for round 58.
The 27-year old player was the main contributor (33 points, seven rebounds and seven assists) to his team's victory, helping them to beat Las Heras (#17, 6-26) 102-89. The game rather meaningless between the teams, which do not have any influence on top of the standings in Conferencia Norte. Thanks to this victory Estudiantes T. moved-up to the 10th position in Argentinian La Liga Argentina. Estudiantes T. 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 16-15 record. In the team's last game Hampton had a remarkable 64.3% from 2-point range and got three three-pointers out of 6 attempts. He turned to be Estudiantes T.'s top player in his first season with the team. Joe Hampton averages this season 15.6ppg and 5.5rpg.

The second best player in last round's games was American Sam DeSouza (203-F/C) of Huracan de Las Heras. DeSouza had a very good evening with a double-double of 28 points and 11 rebounds. Bad luck as Las Heras lost that game 89-102 to the higher-ranked Estudiantes T. (#10, 16-15). The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the top position in Conferencia Norte. Las Heras keeps 17th position. 26 lost games are too many comparing to just six victories Las Heras managed to get this year. DeSouza is a newcomer at Las Heras, but is already one of team's top players.

Third on the list of top players last round was guard Nahuel Buchaillot (178-PG-2000) of league's top team Club Atletico San Isidro. Buchaillot scored 26 points and passed 4 assists. He was a key player of San Isidro, leading his team to a 82-79 win against the lower-ranked Colon SF (#16, 10-21). San Isidro confirms their top position in Conferencia Norte. Their record at this point is 23 victories and 9 lost games. Buchaillot has a very solid season. In 30 games in Argentina he scored 11.6ppg. He also has 3.9apg and a FGP of 64.4%.
