Colombian Sebastian Valencia (200-F/C-1997) had a great game in the last round for league's leader Basket Osasco and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents CBB Player of the Week award for round 4.
The 26-year old power forward had the game-high 23 points adding six rebounds and two assists for Osasco in his team's victory, helping them to beat Brusque (#4, 1-3) 83-73. It allowed Osasco to jump to the first place in the Brazilian CBB. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Osasco already had a very good start winning all 3 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Valencia had a remarkable 85.7% from 2-point range and got three three-pointers out of 6 attempts. He just recently signed at Osasco and it was his first game, where he immediately became new team's leader.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young guard Aquiles Ferreira (194-G-1998) of Basquete Tatui/AABT. Ferreira impressed basketball fans with 32 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Bad luck as Tatui/AABT was edged by Conferencia Josuel's leader Praia (#1, 3-0) 73-72. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the top position in Conferencia Josuel. Tatui/AABT still maintains its place in the top 3 of the standings, even despite this loss. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 1-2 record. Ferreira is one of the most experienced players at Tatui/AABT and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

The third best performed player last round was Raffael Mencarini (187-G-2001) of top-ranked Praia Clube. Mencarini scored 23 points. He was a key player of Praia, leading his team to a 73-72 win against #3 ranked Tatui/AABT. Praia started extremely well this year. They recorded 3 victories without losing a single game in Conferencia Josuel. Mencarini turns to be one of the very best players in the league while he is also a leader of the top team having his eyes on the championship title. Mencarini has a great season in Brazil. After only 3 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 20.3ppg (3rd best).

Other top performing players last week:
4. Samuel Santos (187-SG-1999) of Brusque - 21 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists
