28-year old American forward Derrick Woods (203-F-1996, agency: SLN) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for second-ranked Asociacion Basquetbol Ancud and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 3.
He had a double-double of 23 points and 10 rebounds, while his team beat Santa Maria (#5, 0-2), the league's bottom-ranked team 84-75. Ancud maintains the 2nd position in Liga SudAmericana . They would have been even better if they hadn't lost that single game earlier this season. Ancud will need more victories to improve their 2-1 record. In the team's last game Woods had a remarkable 71.4% from 2-point range. He turned to be Ancud's top player in his first season with the team. Saint Peter's University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Woods is in league's top in points (3rd best: 20.3ppg), rebounds (3rd best: 7.7rpg) and averages solid 62.5% FGP.

In the last game Cordoba recorded an impressive double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds. Of course he led San Lorenzo to another comfortable win 77-62 over Espanol O. (1-2) being unquestionably team leader. The season is still at the very beginning and this victory may help a lot. Let's wait for the next round. Cordoba is well-known at San Lorenzo and he already established his position as one of the team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 22.5ppg (#1). He also registered 8.5 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to another Ancud's star - guard Alvaro Pena (197-SG-1995).

Ancud needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 2 victories and 1 lost game.
