Experienced Cuban Yoel Cubillas (204-F-1994) had an amazing evening in the last round for league's leader AD Isidro Metapan and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Liga MB Player of the Week award for round 16.
The 31-year old forward had the game-high 55 points adding six rebounds and four assists for Metapan in his team's victory, helping them to outclass Santiagueno (#9, 2-15) with 56-point margin 161-105. It allowed Metapan to consolidate first place in the Salvadorean Liga MB. Metapan has a very good season and are considered to have a run for the championship title. They improved their record to 16-1. In the team's last game Cubillas had a remarkable 89.7% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Metapan, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Cubillas has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (2nd best: 27.6ppg), rebounds (8th best: 11.6rpg) and averages solid 1.8bpg,3.1spg and 65.6% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was American guard Daylon Potts (196-G) of MC El Brasil Santa Ana. Potts impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 30 points and 21 rebounds. Bad luck as Santa Ana lost that game 78-101 to the higher-ranked Santa Tecla (#4, 11-6). Santa Ana are still at the very bottom. 16 lost games are too many comparing to just one victory Santa Ana managed to get this year. Potts is one of the most experienced players at Santa Ana and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 20.2ppg (#8). His other stats are also decent: 20.6rpg and 6.8apg. Simpson University alumni Potts played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which is considered top summer league for players who want to play basketball overseas.

The third best performed player last round was Puerto Rican Hector Maldonado (185-G-1991, agency: DON TECA SPORTS CONNECTION) of Club de Baloncesto Cojute (#7). Maldonado got into 30-points club by scoring 45 points in the last round. He went also for eight rebounds and seven assists. He was a key player of Cojute, leading his team to a 104-64 easy win against the lower-ranked Santa Ana (#10, 1-16). The chances of Cojute not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 11 games, recording just six victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Maldonado could try to bring Cojute's a little bit higher in the standings. Maldonado has individually a great season in El Salvador. After 16 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 29.3ppg (best scorer) and assists with 4.9apg (7th best). He also has 2.1spg and a FGP of 52.7%.
