Mitchell's double-double lands him Player of the Week award

28-year old forward Tony Mitchell (203-F-92) had a very impressive game in the last round for second-ranked Barias and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 5.
He had a double-double of 21 points and 11 rebounds, while his team edged out Mauricio Baez (0-0), the league's bottom-ranked team 92-89. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Thanks to this victory Barias moved-up to the 2nd position in Dominican Rep. league. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. They are still not able to win a single game in the league yet. But it's just the very beginning of the season and Barias won just one (their first) game. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. Mitchell just recently signed at Barias, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Tony Mitchell averages just after three games 13.0ppg and 6.7rpg.

Second best performed player last round was L.J. Figueroa (198-G/F-98). He is a swingman in his first season at Barias. In the last game Figueroa recorded impressive double-double of 28 points and 10 rebounds. It was enough for Barias to edge league's leader Mauricio Baez (0-0) by 3 points 92-89. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Barias consolidated its place in top 2 of the standings. His team has extremely good start of the season. They won their first game. However the season is at the beginning, so everything can happen. They still may lose their high position in the standings. Figueroa is one of the most experienced players at Barias and similarly like Tony Mitchell has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 21.6ppg (#5). He also registered 7.0 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to another Barias' star - Paris Bass (203-SF-95). Bass scored 23 points and grabbed six rebounds. He was another key player of Barias, helping his team with a 92-89 win against #1 ranked Mauricio Baez. Barias has a very good start of the season. But there were just 0 games played, so it's too early to judge them at this stage. Bass also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. Bass has a great season in Dominican Republic. After only 7 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 22.6ppg (3rd best) and rebounds with 10.9rpg (3rd best).
