Arregui's double-double lands him Metropolitan Hoops Agents Player of the Week award

25-year old center Mauricio Arregui (200-C-1998) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Welcome and receives a Hoops Agents Metropolitan Player of the Week award for round 13.
He had a double-double of 24 points and 15 rebounds, while his team beat Stockolmo (5-6) 84-79. The game rather meaningless between the teams, which do not have any influence on top of the standings. Thanks to this victory Welcome moved-up to the 9th position in Uruguayan Metropolitan. Welcome 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 5-6 record. Arregui has many years of experience at Welcome, through which he has constantly improved. Mauricio Arregui averages this season 11.4ppg.

Second best performed player last round was Dennis McKinney (194-F-1998, agency: GoEmpire Group) of 25 de Agosto. He is American forward in his first season at 25 de Agosto. In the last game McKinney recorded impressive 37 points and 7 rebounds. Of course he led 25 de Agosto to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Lagomar (#16, 2-9) 92-68. The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. 25 de Agosto keeps 13th position. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 4-7 record. McKinney is one of the most experienced players at 25 de Agosto and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 20.4ppg (#3). He also registered 8.8 boards per game.

He was a key player of Sayago, leading his team to a 85-72 easy win against U.Atletica (6-5). Sayago needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams.
