Daniel Moreira

19-year old power forward Daniel Lima (204-F/C-2003) had an amazing evening in the last round for league's best team Pinheiros and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
He had a double-double of 25 points and 12 rebounds, while his team beat Sao Paulo (#5, 3-2) 76-67. It allowed Pinheiros to consolidate first place in the Brazilian league. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Pinheiros already had a very good start winning all 5 without losing a single one. Lima has many years of experience at Pinheiros, through which he has constantly improved. Lima has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in rebounds (5th best: 11.6rpg).

Second best performed player last round was Winicius Braga (205-F-2005) of Minas. He is a forward in his first season at Minas. In the last game Braga recorded impressive double-double of 21 points and 16 rebounds. Of course he led Minas to another comfortable win outscoring Brasilia (#10, 0-4) 98-57. Despite this victory Minas slide down in the standings to 6th position in Group A. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 2-2 record is not bad and everything may still change. Braga is one of the most experienced players at Minas and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Jose Vitor Policcici (184-G-2001) of Campo Mourao (#8). Policcici showcased his all-around game by recording 29 points, ten rebounds and five assists in the last round. Despite Policcici's great performance Campo Mourao lost 61-79 to the higher-ranked Flamengo (#4, 3-1). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. Campo Mourao can only dream about fighting for top spots in Group A. They have rather bad season and 1-3 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Policcici has individually a great season in Brazil. After only 4 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 18.8ppg (5th best) and assists with 4.3apg (8th best).
