Choque's double-double lands him Player of the Week award

24-year old forward Luis Choque (196-F-97) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for league's best team CAN Potosi and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 3.
He had a double-double of 19 points and 19 rebounds, while his team edged out Pichincha (#2, 3-1) 78-77. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed CAN Potosi to take over top position in the Bolivian league. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but CAN Potosi already had a very good start winning all 3 without losing a single one. Choque turned to be CAN Potosi's top player in his first season with the team. Choque has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in rebounds (4th best: 10.3rpg) and averages solid 41.7% from behind 3-point line.

Second best performed player last round was T.J. Robinson (203-F-89) of league's second-best Pichincha. He is American forward in his first season at Pichincha. In the last game Robinson recorded impressive double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds. Bad luck as Pichincha was edged by CAN Potosi (3-0) 78-77. The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Robinson is a newcomer at Pichincha and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 22.3ppg (#2). He also registered 14.0 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to another Pichincha's star - Ricardo Covarrubias (191-SF-95). Covarrubias scored 11 points and grabbed six rebounds. He was another key player of Pichincha, helping his team with a 82-62 easy win against #3 ranked Rubair in a game of the week. Pichincha 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 1 lost game. Covarrubias has a very solid season. In 4 games in Bolivia he scored 8.3ppg.

4. Robert Colon (187-G-99) of Pichincha - 26 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists
