25-year old American forward Emmitt Williams (198-F-1998, agency: BMS Sport Agency) had a great game in the last round for league's best team Real Esteli and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 4.
He had the game-high 23 points adding seven rebounds and three assists for Real Esteli in his team's victory, helping them to beat Halc.Xalapa (#3, 0-1), the league's bottom-ranked team 80-70. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed Real Esteli to take over top position in the Basketball Champions League Americas. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. But it's just the very beginning of the season and Real Esteli won just one (their first) game. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. In the team's last game Williams had a remarkable 90.0% from 2-point range. He turned to be Real Esteli's top player in his first season with the team. Louisiana State University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Williams is in league's top in points (2nd best: 23.0ppg) and averages solid 90.0% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Brandon Robinson (196-SG-1989) of top-ranked Quimsa Santiago del Estero. He is American guard in his first season at Quimsa. In the last game Robinson recorded impressive 26 points and 8 rebounds. Of course he led Quimsa to another comfortable win outscoring Sao Paulo (#3, 0-1) 112-65. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Quimsa consolidated its place in the very top position of the standings. His team has extremely good start of the season. They won their first game. However the season is at the beginning, so everything can happen. They still may lose their high position in the standings. Robinson is a newcomer at Quimsa and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 26.0ppg (#1). He also registered 8.0 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to another Quimsa's star - forward Claudio Ramirez (200-F-1990). Ramirez scored 9 points and grabbed ten rebounds. He was another key player of Quimsa Santiago del Estero, helping his team with a 112-65 easy win against #3 ranked Sao Paulo. Quimsa has a very good start of the season. But there was just one game played, so it's too early to judge them at this stage. Ramirez also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. The season just started for Ramirez as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be another team's leader.
