Experienced Dominican Rep. Nehemias Morillo (197-PF-1992) had an amazing evening in the last round for Colonias and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
The 31-year old power forward had the game-high 25 points adding eight rebounds and six assists for Colonias in his team's victory, helping them to outclass, the league's bottom-ranked team Campo Alto (#6, 0-5) with 27-point margin 92-65. Colonias maintains the 3rd position in Paraguayan LNB. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost two games earlier this season. Colonias will need more victories to improve their 3-2 record. In the team's last game Morillo had a remarkable five three-pointers out of 11 attempts. He turned to be Colonias' top player in his first season with the team. University of South Florida graduate has very impressive stats this year.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young international forward Adolfo Lopez (199-F-1989) of Libertad A.. Lopez impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 18 points and 16 rebounds. It was enough for Libertad A. to edge slightly higher-ranked Olimpia K. (#2, 4-2) by 6 points 91-85. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Libertad A. consolidated its place in top 4 of the standings. His team's 3-3 record is not bad at all. Lopez is a newcomer at Libertad A. and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 15.3ppg (#3). He also registered 8.2 boards per game.
