Talented Gerbert Marti (203-F/C-91) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Prat Juventud and that's him to receive a Eurobasket.com LEB Silver Player of the Week award for round 8. The 21-year old power forward had a double-double of 20 points and fifteen rebounds, while his team beat Aurteneche M. (#4, 4-3) 84-72. Prat Juventud is placed at 7th position in Spanish LEB Silver. Prat Juventud 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 4-4 record. In the team's last game Marti had a remarkable 66.7% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Prat Juventud, through which he has constantly improved. Marti has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in rebounds (6th best: 8.1rpg) and averages solid 2.1bpg.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 24-year old Antonio Pantin (203-C/F-88) of second-ranked Lan Mobel ISB. Pantin impressed basketball fans with 15 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Of course Lan Mobel ISB cruised to a 86-74 relatively comfortable win over Guadalajara (5-2). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Lan Mobel ISB consolidated its place in top 2 of the standings. His team's 5-2 record is not bad at all. Pantin is a newcomer at Lan Mobel ISB and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 15.0ppg (#5). He also registered 10.9 boards per game.
The third best performed player last round was Samuel Dominguez (204-C/F-91) of La Palma (#11). Dominguez scored 21 points and grabbed thirteen rebounds (!!!). He was a key player of La Palma, leading his team to a 75-74 win against the higher-ranked Palma (#8, 3-5). La Palma can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have extremely bad season and 1-6 record places them at the very bottom of the standings. Too bad for Dominguez he does not play for a better team. But maybe if he did, his season stats would not be that high. Dominguez has a very solid season. In 2 games in Spain he scored 13.0ppg.

Naturalized American point guard Brad Oleson (191-PG-83, agency: Duran International) had a great game in the last round for FCB Regal, receiving a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 34. The 29-year old player was the main contributor (26 points, two rebounds and four assists) to his team's victory, helping them to edge out Lagun Aro GBC (#17, 8-26) 90-89. FCB Regal maintains the 3rd position in American ACB. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. FCB Regal will need more victories to improve their 23-11 record. In the team's last game Oleson had a remarkable 66.7% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at FCB Regal, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Brad Oleson averages this season 9.7ppg.
The second best player in last round's games was young Brazilian Raul Neto (186-PG-92) of Lagun Aro GBC. Neto had a very good evening with 25 points and 6 assists. Bad luck as Lagun Aro GBC was edged by the higher-ranked FCB Regal (#3, 23-11) 90-89. Lagun Aro GBC is still in a red zone at 17th spot in Round 33. 26 lost games are too many comparing to just eight victories Lagun Aro GBC managed to get this year. Neto is well-known at Lagun Aro GBC and is a proven leader in his second season with the team.
Third on the list of top players last round was forward Nacho Martin (205-F-83) of Blancos de R. (#16). Martin scored 19 points and grabbed ten rebounds. Despite Martin's great performance Blancos de R. lost 62-78 to the higher-ranked G.Canaria 2014 (#7, 19-15). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Blancos de R. not to end season at such low position in , however are less than slim as they have already lost 22 games, recording just twelve victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Martin could try to bring Blancos de R.'s a little bit higher in the standings. Martin has individually a great season in Spain. After 34 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 15.6ppg (4th best) and rebounds with 7.1rpg (#1 in league).
