Ochipinti number one in Paraguay LNB for round 2 (by Hoops Agents)

Naturalized Italian Swingman Vincenzo Ochipinti (191-G/F-1999) put on an amazing game in the last round for Olimpia Kings, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 2.
The 27-year old player was the main contributor (21 points, six rebounds and two assists) to his team's victory, helping them to crush Felix Perez (#5, 1-2) with 21-point margin 108-87. Olimpia K. is placed at 4th position in Paraguayan LNB. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost that single game earlier this season. Olimpia K. will need more victories to improve their 2-1 record. It's Ochipinti's second year at Olimpia K. and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Vincenzo Ochipinti has solid league stats. He is in league's top in points (4th best: 20.0ppg) and averages impressive 2.7spg,84.6% FGP and 45.8% from behind 3-point line.

The second best player in last round's games was young Chilean Diego Silva (186-PG-1993) of league's second-best Colonias Gold. Silva had a very good evening with 28 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Bad luck as Colonias lost that game 95-105 to San Jose (3-0). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Silva is a newcomer at Colonias, but is already one of team's top players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 27.0ppg (#1). His other stats are also decent: 6.0rpg and 3.7apg.

Third on the list of top players last round was Valentino Davis of Deportivo Amambay (#6). Davis scored 24 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. He was a key player of Amambay, leading his team to a 88-39 easy win against Capiata (#8, 0-3). The chances of Amambay not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 2 games, recording just one victory. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Davis could try to bring Amambay's a little bit higher in the standings. The season just started for Davis as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.
