Bolivian Libobasquet round 11 best performance: Erbel De Pietro (by Hoops Agents)

Argentinian Guard Erbel De Pietro (185-G-1988) had an amazing evening in the last round for Atomico, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 11.
The 34-year old player was the main contributor (33 points, six rebounds and two assists) to his team's victory, helping them to beat Univ.Sucre (#7, 2-8) 82-75. Atomico maintains the 6th position in Bolivian Libobasquet. Atomico 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 5-5 record. De Pietro has many years of experience at Atomico, through which he has constantly improved. Erbel De Pietro has solid league stats. He is in league's top in points (7th best: 20.2ppg), assists (6th best: 3.3apg) and averages impressive 52.6% FGP.

The second best player in last round's games was young American Akil McClain (188-G-1997) of San Simon. McClain had a very good evening with a double-double of 31 points and 12 rebounds. Bad luck as San Simon lost that game 71-78 to slightly lower-ranked Saracho (#5, 6-4). San Simon managed to keep the same 3rd spot in the standings. His team's 7-3 record is not bad at all. McClain is one of the most experienced players at San Simon and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 23.7ppg (#3). His other stats are also decent: 7.8rpg and 3.4apg. Former Indiana University Kokomo star McClain is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market.

Third on the list of top players last round was Argentinian forward Norberto Stucky (198-F-1994) of league's second-best Leones. Stucky scored 22 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Despite Stucky's great performance Leones lost 82-86 to #1 ranked Pichincha. But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. Leones had another "accident". It may be a crucial game and cause dropping from the group of top ranked teams. The record is still good, but 2nd lost game is hopefully really an accident. Stucky's teammates are also very good. That's why having such high stats is even more impressive. Stucky has a great season in Bolivia. After 10 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 8.4rpg (9th best). He also has 2.2spg and FGP: 66.2%.
