Experienced Adris Rodriguez (202-C/F-82) had a very impressive game in the last round for Capitanes and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 5.
The 39-year old had a double-double of 16 points and fifteen rebounds, while his team beat Santiago Fenix (2-2) 111-96. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Capitanes is placed at 3rd position in Dominican Rep. LDC. Capitanes 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 2-2 record. Rodriguez just recently signed at Capitanes, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Rodriguez has impressive league stats. He leads league in rebounds with 15.3rpg. Rodriguez is in league's top in assists (2nd best: 5.0apg) and averages solid 2.3bpg and 51.1% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was another Capitanes' star - 35-year old shooting guard Victor Liz (193-SG-86). Liz impressed basketball fans with 33 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Of course together with Rodriguez he helped Capitanes with another comfortable win 111-96 over slightly higher-ranked Santiago Fenix (2-2) being unquestionably team leader. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Capitanes consolidated its place in top 3 of the standings. His team's 2-2 record is not bad at all. Liz is one of the most experienced players at Capitanes and similarly like Adris Rodriguez has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 34.3ppg (#1). He also registered 4.3 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was Jefry Arias (182-G-94) of second-ranked Santiago Fenix. Arias scored 27 points and grabbed five rebounds. Despite Arias' great performance Santiago Fenix lost 96-111 to #3 ranked Capitanes. But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. The last thing Santiago Fenix needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 2 victories and 2 lost games. Arias has a great season in Dominican Republic. After only 4 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 22.0ppg (9th best) and assists with 3.3apg (8th best).
