26-year old American forward Tristan Harper (198-F-2000) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's best team CD Universidad Catolica de Santiago and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 2.
He had the game-high 35 points adding six rebounds and two assists for Univ.Catolica in his team's victory, helping them to beat Espanol T. (#6, 0-2), the league's bottom-ranked team 93-81. It allowed Univ.Catolica to take over top position in the Chilean league. But it's just the very beginning of the season and Univ.Catolica won both games without losing any. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. In the team's last game Harper had a remarkable 64.3% from 2-point range and got three three-pointers out of 6 attempts. He has many years of experience at Univ.Catolica, through which he has constantly improved. Langston University, OK graduate has very impressive stats this year. Harper is league's best scorer averaging so far 31.0ppg. Harper is in league's top in and averages solid 58.3% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Aseem Luckey (206-F-2001) of Club Deportes Espanol de Talca. He is Chilean forward in his first season at Espanol T.. In the last game Luckey recorded an impressive double-double of 28 points and 12 rebounds. Bad luck as Espanol lost that game 81-93 to Univ.Catolica (2-0). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Luckey is one of the most experienced players at Espanol and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 26.0ppg (#3). He also registered 11.0 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Ja'Heim Hudson (201-F-2001) of league's leader CD Espanol Osorno. Hudson scored 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. He was a key player of Espanol, leading his team to a 87-83 win against Ancud (#5, 0-2). Espanol has a very good start of the season. But there were just 2 games played, so it's too early to judge them at this stage. Hudson also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. Hudson has a very solid season. In 2 games in Chile he scored 17.5ppg.
