American Swingman Deondre Wade (194-G/F) had an amazing evening in the last round for Leones ALMA de Managua, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
The player had a double-double of 33 points and 10 rebounds, while his team outclassed UNI Basket (#7, 2-5) with 41-point margin 114-73. Leones maintains the 9th position in Nicaraguan LSB. Too late to salvage the team, which is currently ranked at the very bottom. They already lost 6 games and recorded just one victory. In the team's last game Wade had a remarkable 64.7% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Leones, through which he has constantly improved. Former Seminole State College star has very solid stats this year. Wade is in league's top in points (2nd best: 24.6ppg).

The second best player in last round's games was young international Dalton Cacho (200-SG -1993) of Brumas de Jinotega. Cacho had a very good evening with a triple-double of 18 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists. Of course he led Brumas to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked UNI Basket (#7, 2-5) 95-50. This victory allowed Brumas to move up to 3rd position in the standings. His team's 4-2 record is not bad at all. Cacho is one of the most experienced players at Brumas and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third on the list of top players last round was Dominican Rep. center Jose Familia (201-C-1998) of league's second-best UNAN de Leon. Familia scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds (!!!). He was a key player of UNAN de, leading his team to a 106-87 easy win against the lower-ranked Tigres (#6, 2-4). UNAN de needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 5 victories and 2 lost games. Familia has a great season in Nicaragua. After only 7 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 13.7rpg (2nd best). He also has a FGP of 58.5% and 3PT: 41.4%.
