Naturalized Brazilian Edegar Alvarenga had an amazing evening in the last round for Felix Perez Cardozo Asuncion, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
The player was the main contributor (14 points, eight rebounds and four assists) to his team's victory, helping them to beat Libertad A. (#3, 3-2) 80-67. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Felix Perez is placed at 4th position in Paraguayan LNB. Felix Perez 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 3-3 record. It was one of impressive evenings for Alvarenga as usually he does not deliver so high stats. Edegar Alvarenga averages this season 7.0ppg.

The second best player in last round's games was young international forward Diego Bareiro (195-F-1991) of Libertad Asuncion. Bareiro had a very good evening with a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds. Bad luck as Libertad lost that game 67-80 to slightly lower-ranked Felix Perez (#4, 3-3). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Libertad still maintains its place in the top 3 of the standings, even despite this loss. His team's 3-2 record is not bad at all. Bareiro is well-known at Libertad and is a proven leader in his second season with the team.

Third on the list of top players last round was former international guard Nicolas Tischler (190-G-2000) of league's second-best Colonias Gold. Tischler scored 16 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. He was a key player of Colonias, leading his team to a 100-72 easy win against the lower-ranked Ciudad N. (#6, 1-4). Colonias needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 3 victories and 2 lost games. Tischler has a great season in Paraguay. After only 4 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 7.5rpg (7th best).

Other top performing players last week:
4. Sebastian Konrad) of Colonias - 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists
5. Giuliano Girett (172-PG-2001) of Ciudad N. - 12 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists
