Hugo Flores had a very impressive game in the last round for Colonias Gold and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 5.
He had the game-high 27 points adding six rebounds and four assists for Colonias in his team's victory, helping them to outclass, the league's bottom-ranked team Sol de America (#7, 0-4) with 49-point margin 97-48. Colonias is placed at 4th position in Paraguayan league. Colonias is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 2-2 record. In the team's last game Flores had a remarkable 75.0% from 2-point range. It's his second year at Colonias and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Hugo Flores averages just after three games 12.0ppg.

Second best performed player last round was Franco Benitez (199-F-1994) of top-ranked Deportivo San Jose Asuncion. He is Argentinian forward in his 2nd season at San Jose. In the last game Benitez recorded an impressive 23 points and 9 rebounds. It was enough for San Jose to edge slightly lower-ranked Olimpia K. (#3, 2-2) by 5 points 73-68. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. San Jose 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 5 games without any defeat. Benitez is well-known at San Jose and he already established his position as one of the team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 19.6ppg (#1). He also registered 5.8 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Leonardo Ycassatti (188-G-2003) of Felix Perez Cardozo Asuncion (#5). Ycassatti showcased his all-around game by recording 12 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Felix Perez, leading his team to a 69-68 win against slightly lower-ranked Ciudad N. (#6, 1-3). The chances of Felix Perez ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 3 games, recording just two victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Ycassatti could help Felix Perez to bring them higher in the standings. Ycassatti has a very solid season. In 5 games in Paraguay he scored 7.4ppg.

4. Alen Juarez (201-C-2000) of Felix Perez - 18 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists
