American Guard Cordero Bennett (185-G-1988) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Sao Paulo FC, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 13.
The 35-year old player was the main contributor (19 points, three rebounds and five assists) to his team's victory, helping them to edge out Quimsa (#1, 3-1) 87-84. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Sao Paulo maintains the 3rd position in Basketball Champions League Americas . Too late to improve their position as they are currently ranked such low. They already lost 3 games and recorded just one victory. In the team's last game Bennett had a remarkable 80.0% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Sao Paulo, through which he has constantly improved. Cordero Bennett averages just after two games 10.5ppg.

The second best player in last round's games was young American Eric Anderson (204-F/C-1993) of league's second-best Nacional De Futbol Montevideo. Anderson had a very good evening with 24 points and 9 rebounds. It was enough for Nacional to edge slightly lower-ranked Sao Paulo (#3, 1-3) 86-82. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Nacional consolidated its place in top 2 of the standings. His team's 2-2 record is not bad at all. Anderson is a newcomer at Nacional, but is already one of team's top players.

Third on the list of top players last round was another Nacional's star - Argentinian forward Franco Giorgetti (203-F-1992). Giorgetti showcased his all-around game by recording 18 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in the last round. He was another key player of Nacional De Futbol Montevideo, helping his team with a 86-82 win against #3 ranked Sao Paulo. Nacional needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 2 victories and 2 lost games. Giorgetti has a very solid season. In 2 games in Basketball Champions League Americas he scored 14.0ppg.
