Peralta's 17 points and 8 rebounds give him Hoops Agents Player of the Week award

Gabriel Peralta

28-year old forward Gabriel Peralta (203-F-1995) had an amazing evening in the last round for league's best team Olimpia K. and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 1.
He had the game-high 17 points adding eight rebounds and three assists for Olimpia K. in his team's victory, helping them to crush, the league's bottom-ranked team Libertad A. (#6, 0-1) with 19-point margin 88-69. It allowed Olimpia K. to take over top position in the Paraguayan league. But it's just the very beginning of the season and Olimpia K. won just one (their first) game. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. In the team's last game Peralta had a remarkable 62.5% from 2-point range. He turned to be Olimpia K.'s top player in his first season with the team. Peralta has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (2nd best: 17.0ppg), rebounds (4th best: 8.0rpg) and averages solid 62.5% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Adolfo Lopez (199-F-1989) of Libertad A.. He is international forward in his first season at Libertad A.. In the last game Lopez recorded impressive 21 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Bad luck as Libertad A. lost that game 69-88 to Olimpia K. (1-0). 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. Lopez is a newcomer at Libertad A. and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 21.0ppg (#1). His other stats are also decent: 9.0rpg and 4.0apg.

Third place about best performers goes to another Olimpia K.'s star - Rodney Mercado (191-SF-1999). Mercado scored 16 points. He was another key player of Olimpia K., helping his team with a 88-69 easy win against Libertad A. (#6, 0-1). Olimpia K. has a very good start of the season. But there was just one game played, so it's too early to judge them at this stage. Mercado also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. The season just started for Mercado as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be another team's leader.
