Swingman Felipe Rodriguez (195-F/G-2003) had an amazing evening in the last round for top-ranked Ferrocarril Oeste Buenos Aires, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
The 22-year old player was the main contributor (21 points, five rebounds and four assists) to his team's victory, helping them to crush Univ.Sucre (#2, 2-1) with 24-point margin 89-65. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed Ferro to consolidate first place in the Liga SudAmericana. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Ferro already had a very good start winning all 3 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Rodriguez had a remarkable five three-pointers out of 7 attempts. He has many years of experience at Ferro, through which he has constantly improved. Felipe Rodriguez averages just after three games 12.0ppg and 6.3rpg.

The second best player in last round's games was young Colombian Alvaro Pena (197-SG-1995, agency: Starting 5) of league's second-best Club Universitario de Sucre. Pena had a very good evening with 14 points and 9 rebounds. Bad luck as Univ.Sucre lost that game 65-89 to league's leader Ferro (#1, 3-0). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Univ.Sucre still maintains its place in the top 2 of the standings, even despite this loss. His team's 2-1 record is not bad at all. Pena is a newcomer at Univ.Sucre, but is already one of team's top players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 16.0ppg (#6). He also registered 10.3 boards per game.

Third on the list of top players last round was another Ferro's star - Paraguayan center Leonel Bettiga (208-C). Bettiga showcased his all-around game by recording 6 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists in the last round. He was another key player of Ferrocarril Oeste Buenos Aires, helping his team with a 89-65 easy win against #2 ranked Univ.Sucre. Ferro started extremely well this year. They recorded 3 victories without losing a single game. Bettiga turns to be one of the very best players in the league while he is also a leader of the top team having his eyes on the championship title. Bettiga has a great season in Liga SudAmericana. After only 3 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 8.0rpg (3rd best) and assists with 7.0apg (best passer).
