22-year old Dominican Rep. shooting guard Diego Colon (188-SG-2001, agency: BMS Sport Agency) had a great game in the last round for second-ranked Motilones del Norte and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 4.
He had the game-high 36 points adding six rebounds and two assists for Motilones in his team's victory, helping them to beat Corsarios (#6, 0-2), the league's bottom-ranked team 88-74. Motilones maintains the 2nd position in Colombian league. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Motilones already had a very good start winning all 3 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Colon had a remarkable 64.3% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Motilones, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Colon has impressive league stats. He is league's best scorer averaging so far 23.0ppg.

Second best performed player last round was Juan Rosario (PG). He is Dominican Rep. guard in his first season at Motilones.

Of course together with Colon he helped Motilones del Norte with another comfortable win 88-74 over Corsarios (#6, 0-2) being unquestionably team leader. Motilones' second position in the standings has not changed. A very good start of the season for his team, which won so far all 3 games without any defeat.
