Patricio Pinero

27-year old Patricio Pinero (195-SF-1995) put on an amazing game in the last round for Tigrillos and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 7.
He had the game-high 28 points adding eight rebounds and two assists for Tigrillos in his team's victory, helping them to beat Bucaros (#4, 2-4) 98-87. Tigrillos maintains the 5th position in their group in Colombian league. Too late to salvage the team, which is currently ranked such low. They already lost 6 games and recorded just two victories. In the team's last game Pinero had a remarkable 80.0% from 2-point range. He turned to be Tigrillos' top player in his first season with the team. Pinero has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (4th best: 20.9ppg) and averages solid 63.0% FGP and 43.1% from behind 3-point line.

Second best performed player last round was Jorge Torres (196-PF). He is Puerto Rican forward in his first season at Tigrillos. In the last game Torres recorded impressive 24 points and 7 rebounds. Of course Tigrillos cruised to a 98-87 relatively comfortable win over slightly higher-ranked Bucaros (#4, 2-4). Tigrillos' 5th position in Group A has not changed. 6 lost games are too many comparing to just two victories Tigrillos managed to get this year. Torres is a newcomer at Tigrillos and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 18.4ppg (#6). He also registered 9.0 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Kenny Brown (188-G-1991, agency: SLN) of Bucaros (#4). Brown scored 18 points and grabbed six rebounds. Despite Brown's great performance Bucaros lost 87-98 to slightly lower-ranked Tigrillos (#5, 2-6). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Bucaros not to end season at such low position in Group A, however are less than slim as they have already lost 4 games, recording just two victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Brown could try to bring Bucaros' a little bit higher in the standings. Brown has a very solid season. In 6 games in Colombia he scored 15.8ppg.
