32-year old CUB-PURn center Ismael Romero (205-C-1991) had a very impressive game in the last round for second-ranked Real Esteli and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 15.
He had a double-double of 17 points and 12 rebounds, while his team beat Gladiadores (#3, 2-4) 89-84. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Real Esteli maintains the 2nd position in Basketball Champions League Americas . They would have been even better if they hadn't lost two games earlier this season. Real Esteli will need more victories to improve their 3-2 record. In the team's last game Romero had a remarkable 60.0% from 2-point range. He turned to be Real Esteli's top player in his first season with the team. Romero has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (7th best: 19.5ppg), rebounds (4th best: 7.5rpg) and averages solid 2.5spg and 64.0% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Derrick Woods (203-F-1996, agency: SLN) of CD Universidad de Concepcion. He is American forward in his first season at Concepcion. In the last game Woods recorded an impressive 23 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists. Bad luck as Concepcion lost that game 72-88 to slightly higher-ranked Sesi Franca (#1, 5-1). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Concepcion still maintains its place in the top 3 of the standings, even despite this loss. 5 lost games are too many considering they did not win any game. Woods is a newcomer at Concepcion and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 17.7ppg (#6). He also registered 5.7 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to another Real Esteli's star - guard Adonys Henriquez (201-G-1994, agency: BMS Sport Agency). Henriquez scored 22 points. He was another key player of Real Esteli, helping his team with a 89-84 win against #3 ranked Gladiadores. Real Esteli needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 3 victories and 2 lost games. Henriquez has a very solid season. In 2 games in Basketball Champions League Americas he scored 8.0ppg.
