31-year old Cuban forward Yoel Cubillas (204-F-1994) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's best team AD Isidro Metapan and receives a Hoops Agents Liga MB Player of the Week award for round 17.
He had a double-double of 40 points and 24 rebounds, while his team beat Brujos (#6, 9-9) 92-84. 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 17-1. In the team's last game Cubillas had a remarkable six three-pointers out of 9 attempts. 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: 28.3ppg), rebounds (6th best: 12.3rpg) and averages solid 1.8bpg,3.0spg and 64.2% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Hector Maldonado (185-G-1991, agency: DON TECA SPORTS CONNECTION) of Club de Baloncesto Cojute. He is Puerto Rican guard in his first season at Cojute. In the last game Maldonado recorded an impressive double-double of 52 points and 10 rebounds. Bad luck as Cojute lost that game 86-103 to the higher-ranked Santa Tecla (#4, 12-6). Cojute managed to keep the same 7th spot in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 6-12 record. Maldonado is one of the most experienced players at Cojute and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 30.6ppg (#1). His other stats are also decent: 7.5rpg and 4.9apg.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Daylon Potts (196-G) of MC El Brasil Santa Ana (#10). Potts showcased his all-around game by recording 17 points, 25 rebounds (!!!) and 7 assists in the last round. Despite Potts' great performance the Santa Ana lost 71-78 to slightly higher-ranked Santiagueno (#9, 3-15). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. Santa Ana can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have extremely bad season and 1-17 record places them at the very bottom of the standings. Potts has individually a great season in El Salvador. After 18 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 20.0ppg (7th best), rebounds with 20.8rpg (#1 in league) and assists with 6.8apg (2nd best). He also has 2.3spg, 1.1bpg and a FGP of 53.6%. Potts attended one of camps at Eurobasket Summer League on his way to pro basketball.
