31-year old swingman Martin Cuello (193-F/G-1993) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for second-ranked Boca Juniors Buenos Aires and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 8.
He had the game-high 15 points adding nine rebounds and two assists for Boca in his team's victory, helping them to crush, the league's bottom-ranked team Toros (#3, 0-4) with 20-point margin 83-63. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Boca maintains the 2nd position in Basketball Champions League Americas . Boca 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 2-2 record. It was one of impressive evenings for Cuello as usually he does not deliver so high stats. Martin Cuello averages this season 7.8ppg.

Second best performed player last round was Jose Vildoza (191-PG-1996, agency: Octagon Europe). He is a guard in his second season at Boca. In the last game Vildoza recorded an impressive 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. Of course together with Cuello he helped Boca Juniors Buenos Aires with another comfortable win outscoring Toros (#3, 0-4) 83-63. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Boca consolidated its place in top 2 of the standings. His team's 2-2 record is not bad at all. Vildoza is well-known at Boca and together with Martin Cuello he already established his position as one of the team's leaders.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Agustin Perez (192-G-1999) of league's second-best Quimsa Santiago del Estero. Perez scored 17 points.
