Puerto Rican-Nicaraguan Jared Ruiz (188-SF-1992) had an amazing evening in the last round for second-ranked Los Paisas de Medellin, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
The 33-year old player was the main contributor (20 points, five rebounds and nine assists) to his team's victory, helping them to crush, the league's bottom-ranked team Caimanes (#3, 0-4) with 16-point margin 107-91. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Paisas maintains the 2nd position in Basketball Champions League Americas . Paisas 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. In the team's last game Ruiz had a remarkable 77.8% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Paisas, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Jared Ruiz has solid league stats. He is in league's top in assists (2nd best: 6.0apg) and averages impressive 60.7% FGP.

The second best player in last round's games was young Dominican Rep. Luis Santos (203-C-1994) of Atletico Aguada Montevideo. Santos had a very good evening with 25 points and 9 rebounds. Bad luck as Aguada lost that game 54-101 to slightly higher-ranked Boca Juniors (#1, 4-2). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Aguada still maintains its place in the top 3 of the standings, even despite this loss. 5 lost games are too many comparing to just one victory Aguada managed to get this year. Santos is a newcomer at Aguada, but is already one of team's top players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 18.5ppg (#3). He also registered 6.8 boards per game.

Third on the list of top players last round was American forward Shawn Foxbrennen (201-F-1996) of Caimanes del Llano (#3). Foxbrennen showcased his all-around game by recording 24 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in the last round. Despite Foxbrennen's great performance the Caimanes lost 91-107 to #2 ranked Paisas. But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. Caimanes can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have awful season losing so far all 4 games. Foxbrennen has a very solid season. In 4 games in Basketball Champions League Americas he scored 14.5ppg.
