Jeremiah Wood gets MVP of the Week award for Paraguayan LNB

Experienced American Jeremiah Wood (201-C/F-1985) had a great game in the last round for league's leader Deportivo San Jose Asuncion and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 9.
The 41-year old had the game-high 26 points adding eight rebounds and three assists for San Jose in his team's victory, helping them to beat Colonias (#3, 7-3) 98-87. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed San Jose to consolidate first place in the Paraguayan LNB. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is already in a full swing and San Jose still have not lost a single game, getting all 10 victories. Wood turned to be San Jose's top player in his first season with the team. Wood has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in rebounds (8th best: 7.3rpg) and averages solid 73.8% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young Argentinian forward Sebastian Picton (197-F-1992) of second-ranked Olimpia Kings. Picton impressed basketball fans with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Of course he led Olimpia K. to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Felix Perez (#5, 4-5) 96-51. This victory allowed Olimpia K. to move up to second position in the standings. His team lost just two games this season, while they won 8 matches. Picton is a newcomer at Olimpia K. and despite he is not a team leader yet, every game he becomes more reliable player. Hopefully performances like the last one will happen more often.

The third best performed player last round was Brazilian Jose Dos Santos) of Deportivo Campo Alto Asuncion (#6). Dos Santos showcased his all-around game by recording 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Campo Alto, leading his team to a 114-104 win against slightly lower-ranked San Alfonso (#7, 2-8). The chances of Campo Alto ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 6 games, recording just four victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Dos Santos could help Campo Alto to bring them higher in the standings. Dos Santos has a great season in Paraguay. After only 9 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 15.8ppg (8th best) and rebounds with 8.0rpg (6th best).
