Corey Lamonte

American Corey Lamonte (191-G-1998) had a great game in the last round for Atletico C. and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 4.
The 24-year old guard had a double-double of 42 points and thirteen rebounds, while his team crushed, the league's bottom-ranked team Sol de America (#8, 0-4) with 20-point margin 101-81. Atletico C. is placed at 6th position in Paraguayan LNB. The season is still in it's early stage, so the team may have a chance to improve their current position in the standings. They lost 3 games and had just one victory. In the team's last game Lamonte had a remarkable 77.3% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Atletico C., being already a very valuable addition to the team. Lamonte has impressive league stats. He is league's best scorer averaging so far 32.0ppg. Lamonte is in league's top in rebounds (6th best: 8.3rpg), assists (5th best: 4.7apg) and averages solid 1.3bpg and 70.6% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young Argentinian forward Gabriel Peralta (203-F-1995) of league's best team Olimpia K.. Peralta impressed basketball fans with 24 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. It was enough for Olimpia K. to edge slightly lower-ranked Libertad A. (#3, 3-1) by 3 points 81-78. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Olimpia K. consolidated its place in the very top position of the standings. A very good start of the season for his team, which won so far all 4 games without any defeat. Peralta is one of the most experienced players at Olimpia K. and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 17.3ppg (#8). His other stats are also decent: 10.0rpg and 3.3apg.

The third best performed player last round was Guillermo Osorio (192-F-1985) of Campo Alto (#7). Osorio scored 23 points and grabbed ten rebounds. Despite Osorio's great performance Campo Alto lost 60-82 to the higher-ranked Felix Perez (#4, 2-2). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. Campo Alto can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have rather bad season and 1-3 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Osorio has individually a great season in Paraguay. After only 4 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 9.3rpg (3rd best).
