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

28-year old power forward Agustin Zuvich (201-F/C-1995) put on an amazing game in the last round for Atenas and receives a Hoops Agents Metropolitan Player of the Week award for round 17.
He had a double-double of 30 points and 12 rebounds, while his team beat Verdirrojo (#15, 5-12) 84-74. Atenas maintains the 8th position in Uruguayan Metropolitan. Atenas 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 8-9 record. In the team's last game Zuvich had a remarkable 80.0% from 2-point range. He turned to be Atenas' top player in his first season with the team. Zuvich has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (3rd best: 20.5ppg), rebounds (4th best: 11.6rpg) and averages solid 60.5% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Tirrell Brown (198-PF-1993) of 25 de Agosto. He is American forward in his first season at 25 de Agosto. In the last game Brown recorded impressive 31 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Bad luck as 25 de Agosto lost that game 68-75 to the lower-ranked U.Atletica (#11, 8-9). 25 de Agosto managed to keep the same 4th spot in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 7-10 record. Brown is a newcomer at 25 de Agosto and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 22.4ppg (#1). His other stats are also decent: 8.3rpg and 3.2apg.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Felipe Garcia (173-PG-1999) of U.Atletica (#11). Garcia scored 26 points and passed five assists. He was a key player of U.Atletica, leading his team to a 75-68 win against slightly lower-ranked 25 de Agosto (#12, 7-10). The chances of U.Atletica ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 9 games, recording just eight victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Garcia could help U.Atletica to bring them higher in the standings. Garcia has a great season in Uruguay. After 16 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in assists with 2.8apg (5th best).
