Foreman's double-double lands him Metropolitan Player of the Week award

28-year old forward D.J. Foreman (203-F-1994) had an amazing evening in the last round for Larranaga and receives a Hoops Agents Metropolitan Player of the Week award for round 1.
He had a double-double of 24 points and 13 rebounds, while his team crushed, the league's bottom-ranked team 25 de Agosto (#9, 0-1) with 19-point margin 78-59. Thanks to this victory Larranaga moved-up to the 3rd position in Uruguayan Metropolitan. But it's just the very beginning of the season and Larranaga won just one (their first) game. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. Foreman just recently signed at Larranaga and it was his first game, where he immediately became new team's leader. Saint Louis University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Foreman is in league's top in points (6th best: 24.0ppg), rebounds (4th best: 13.0rpg) and averages solid 3.0spg.

Second best performed player last round was Karachi Edo (196-F-1994) of top-ranked Capitol. He is American forward in his first season at Capitol. In the last game Edo recorded impressive double-double of 22 points and 19 rebounds. Of course Capitol cruised to a 84-74 relatively comfortable win over Welcome (0-1). His team has extremely good start of the season. They won their first game. However the season is at the beginning, so everything can happen. They still may lose their high position in the standings. Edo is one of the most experienced players at Capitol and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 22.0ppg (#9). He also registered 19.0 boards per game. Former Fresno State University star Edo is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Damian Blazina (186-G-1988) of Miramar (#4). Blazina showcased his all-around game by recording 23 points, seven rebounds and five assists in the last round. He was a key player of Miramar, leading his team to a 80-76 win against Stockolmo (#12, 0-1). Miramar 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. Blazina also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. The season just started for Blazina as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.
