Point guard Cassiano Bueno (189-PG-1997) had a very impressive game in the last round for top-ranked Cruzeiro Esporte Clube Basquete, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 5.
The 27-year old player had a double-double of 15 points and 12 rebounds, while his team outclassed, the league's bottom-ranked team Vitoria (#6, 0-5) with 30-point margin 95-65. It allowed Cruzeiro to take over top position in the Brazilian Liga Ouro. Cruzeiro have a solid 5-1 record. In the team's last game Bueno had a remarkable 62.5% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Cruzeiro, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Cassiano Bueno has solid league stats. He is in league's top in points (3rd best: 14.5ppg), rebounds (8th best: 6.3rpg), assists (2nd best: 5.3apg) and averages impressive 55.6% FGP and 42.9% from behind 3-point line.

The second best player in last round's games was young Antonio Ramos (2006) of Minas Tenis Clube Belo Horizonte 2nd team. Ramos had a very good evening with 31 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. It was enough for Minas to edge slightly higher-ranked Pinheiros 2 (2-3) 85-79. Minas' 5th position in the standings has not changed. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 2-3 record. Ramos is one of the most experienced players at Minas and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 17.6ppg (#1). He also registered 5.0 boards per game.

Third on the list of top players last round was Danilo Penteado (199-SF-1999) of Liga Sorocabana de Basquete (#3). Penteado scored 19 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. Despite Penteado's great performance the Sorocabana lost 61-68 to #2 ranked Osasco 2. But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. The last thing Sorocabana needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 3 victories and 2 lost games. Penteado has a great season in Brazil. After only 4 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 11.5ppg (8th best).
