Zaira Aldama

Zaira Aldama (178-F/C-1998) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's leader Dragonas and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 2.
The 26-year old power forward had the game-high 21 points for Dragonas in her team's victory, helping them to crush Toritas (#5, 2-2) with 23-point margin 73-50. It allowed Dragonas to consolidate first place in the Mexican LMBPF. The season is still on an early stage, but Dragonas already had a very good start winning all 4 without losing a single one. Aldama just recently signed at Dragonas, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Aldama has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in points (4th best: 16.0ppg), rebounds (6th best: 7.0rpg) and averages solid 291.7% from behind 3-point line.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was another Dragonas' star - Paola Velazquez. Velazquez impressed basketball fans with 26 points. Of course together with Aldama she helped Dragonas with another comfortable win outscoring Toritas (2-2) 73-50. A very good start of the season for her team, which won so far all 4 games without any defeat. Velazquez is one of the most experienced players at Dragonas and similarly like Zaira Aldama has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 17.8ppg (#2). Her other stats are also decent: 6.0rpg and 3.5apg.

The third best performed player last round was Yesica Vallejo of Toritas (#5). Vallejo scored 8 points. Despite Vallejo's great performance the Toritas lost 50-73 to Dragonas (#1, 4-0). But her team cannot count on just a single player as she also needs help of the other teammates. The last thing Toritas 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. Vallejo has a great season in Mexico. After only 4 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 7.0rpg (5th best).

Other top performing players last week:
4. Aridsay Garcia) of Dragonas - 2 points
