American Power forward Kwame Alexander (200-F/C-1990, agency: BIG) put on an amazing game in the last round for Atletico Tabare, receiving a Hoops Agents Liga de Ascenso Player of the Week award for round 12.
The 35-year old player had a double-double of 29 points and 10 rebounds, while his team edged out Atenas (#5, 8-4) 81-77. Tabare is placed at 9th position in Uruguayan Liga de Ascenso. Tabare 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 5-7 record. In the team's last game Alexander had a remarkable 58.8% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Tabare, through which he has constantly improved. Kwame Alexander averages just after two games 23.5ppg and 10.0rpg.

The second best player in last round's games was young Agustin Da Costa (191-F-1998) of Montevideo Basket Ball Club. Da Costa had a very good evening with 31 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Of course Montevideo cruised to a 108-98 relatively comfortable win over the higher-ranked Marne (#8, 5-6). Montevideo's 11th position in the standings has not changed. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 4-7 record. Da Costa is one of the most experienced players at Montevideo and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third on the list of top players last round was American forward Dwayne Russell (203-F-1998) of Club Atletico Olimpia Montevideo (#6). Russell scored 20 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. He was a key player of Olimpia, leading his team to a 100-65 easy win against the lower-ranked Yale (#12, 2-9). Olimpia needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 6 victories and 5 lost games. Russell has a great season in Uruguay. After 11 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 18.4ppg (6th best) and rebounds with 9.5rpg (6th best).
