International Point guard Lays Silva (167-PG-1998, agency: Interperformances) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's second-best AD Santo Andre and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Paulista Player of the Week award for round 2.
The 26-year old playmaker got a double-double of 13 points and 17 assists, while her team outclassed Corinthians (1-1) with 28-point margin 83-55. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Santo Andre is placed at 2nd position in Brazilian Paulista. Santo Andre 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 1-1 record. Silva turned to be Santo Andre's top player in her first season with the team. Silva has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in rebounds (7th best: 7.5rpg) and averages solid 54.5% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young Italian Izabella Sangalli (182-SF-1995) of league's best team Unimed Campinas Basquete. Sangalli impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 19 points and 11 rebounds. Of course she led Campinas to another comfortable win outscoring Santo Andre (1-1) 81-58. A very good start of the season for her team, which won so far all 3 games without any defeat. Sangalli is a newcomer at Campinas and it seems she did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 15.0ppg (#9). Her other stats are also decent: 12.3rpg and 4.3apg.

The third best performed player last round was another Santo Andre's star - international forward Vanessa Goncalves (184-F-1994). Goncalves scored 19 points and grabbed 17 rebounds (!!!). She was another key player of AD Santo Andre, helping her team with a 83-55 easy win against #3 ranked Corinthians in a game of the week. Santo Andre needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 1 victories and 1 lost games. Goncalves has a great season in Brazil. After only 2 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 17.5ppg (3rd best) and rebounds with 13.5rpg (#1 in league).
