28-year old forward Thayna Silva (180-F-1996) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's best team Sampaio Basquete and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 17.
She had a double-double of 18 points and 15 rebounds, while her team outclassed Santo Andre (#9, 4-12) with 59-point margin 108-49. It allowed Sampaio to consolidate first place in the Brazilian LBF. Sampaio have a solid 14-2 record. In the team's last game Silva had a remarkable 77.8% from 2-point range. She just recently signed at Sampaio, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Silva has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in assists (7th best: 1.6apg) and averages solid 4.8spg,60.5% FGP and 41.7% from behind 3-point line.

Second best performed player last round was Mayra Caicedo (161-G-2000) of Sodie Mesquita. She is Colombian guard in her first season at Mesquita. In the last game Caicedo recorded an impressive double-double of 20 points and 10 assists. Of course she led Mesquita to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Maringa (#11, 1-17) 91-58. Mesquita's 7th position in the standings has not changed. Her team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 8-9 record. Caicedo is one of the most experienced players at Mesquita and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 15.1ppg (#7). Her other stats are also decent: 6.3rpg and 4.8apg.

Third place about best performers goes to another Mesquita's star - guard Nelly Rapalo (173-G-1999). Rapalo scored 22 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. She was another key player of Sodie Mesquita, helping her team with a 91-58 easy win against the lower-ranked Maringa (#11, 1-17). The chances of Mesquita ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 9 games, recording just eight victories. With bigger assistance of her teammates, Rapalo could help Mesquita to bring them higher in the standings. Rapalo has a very solid season. In 16 games in Brazil she scored 8.9ppg. She also has 4.9rpg and 3.8apg.
