31-year old American power forward Devon Scott (205-F/C-1994) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Luvix/Uniao Corinthians and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 28.
He had the game-high 25 points adding seven rebounds and six assists for U.Corinthians in his team's victory, helping them to edge out Bauru (#12, 12-12) 103-99. The game rather meaningless between the teams, which do not have any influence on top of the standings. U.Corinthians is placed at 11th position in Brazilian league. U.Corinthians 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 12-10 record. In the team's last game Scott had a remarkable 77.8% from 2-point range. He turned to be U.Corinthians' top player in his first season with the team. University of Dayton graduate has very impressive stats this year. Scott is in league's top in points (9th best: 15.9ppg), rebounds (3rd best: 8.0rpg) and averages solid 55.8% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Dontrell Brite (175-PG-1994) of Zopone/ Gali/ Unimed/Bauru Basket. He is American guard in his first season at Bauru. In the last game Brite recorded an impressive 35 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. Bad luck as Paschoalotto/Bauru was edged by slightly higher-ranked U.Corinthians (#11, 12-10) 103-99. The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. Bauru dropped in the standings to 12th position. His team lost some distance to top teams. But a 12-12 record is not bad and everything may still change. Brite is a newcomer at Bauru and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 18.8ppg (#1). He also recorded 5.9 assists per game.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Alex Negrete (192-F-2001) of league's leader Clube de Regatas do Flamengo. Negrete showcased his all-around game by recording 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Flamengo, leading his team to a 81-75 win against the lower-ranked Mogi (#10, 12-10). Flamengo confirms their top position in the standings. Negrete has a very solid season. In 23 games in Brazil he scored 15.2ppg. He also has 4.3rpg and a FGP of 61.4%.

4. Georginho de Paula (197-PG-1996) of Sesi/Franca - 17 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists
