35-year old American power forward Paul Harrison (206-PF-1989) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for second-ranked Immortals de Cibao and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 3.
He recorded a triple-double of 30 points adding also 12 rebounds and 10 assists, while his team outclassed, the league's bottom-ranked team Crocs (#6, 0-4) with 70-point margin 132-62. Immortals was forced-out from the top positions in United Cup. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost that single game earlier this season. Immortals will need more victories to improve their 3-1 record. In the team's last game Harrison had a remarkable three three-pointers out of 6 attempts. He turned to be Immortals' top player in his first season with the team. North Greenville University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Harrison is in league's top in points (8th best: 18.3ppg) and assists (3rd best: 7.0apg).

Second best performed player last round was Yunior Martinez of top-ranked Padre Gran. He is a in his first season at Padre Gran. In the last game Martinez recorded an impressive double-double of 21 points and 10 assists. It was enough for Padre Gran to edge Team Cabra (3-1) by 6 points 109-103. The season is still at the very beginning and this victory may help a lot. Let's wait for the next round. Martinez is a newcomer at Padre Gran and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 28.7ppg (#1). His other stats are also decent: 5.3rpg and 9.7apg.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Andrew Dikas (193-G-1988) of CDF Puerto Plata (#5). Dikas showcased his all-around game by recording 20 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the last round. Despite Dikas' great performance the CDF lost 90-96 to Austin G. (#4, 2-2). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. CDF 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. Dikas has individually a great season in United Cup. After only 4 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in assists with 3.3apg (5th best).
