31-year old American guard Markus Terry (188-G-1995) had a very impressive game in the last round for Sampaense Basket and receives a Hoops Agents Proliga Player of the Week award for round 5.
He had the game-high 39 points adding two rebounds and five assists for Sampaense in his team's victory, helping them to beat Academica (#16, 0-5), the league's bottom-ranked team 105-99. Sampaense is placed at 7th position in Portuguese Proliga. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost two games earlier this season. Sampaense will need more victories to improve their 3-2 record. In the team's last game Terry had a remarkable 81.8% from 2-point range and got four three-pointers out of 8 attempts. It's his second year at Sampaense and it's hard to imagine this team without him. University of South Carolina - Aiken graduate has very impressive stats this year. Terry is league's best scorer averaging so far 29.0ppg. Terry is in league's top in assists (7th best: 4.6apg) and averages solid 69.2% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Evan Maxwell (203-C-1994) of Futebol Clube Barreirense. He is American center in his 4th season at Barreirense. In the last game Maxwell recorded an impressive double-double of 35 points and 15 rebounds. Of course Barreirense cruised to a 95-85 relatively comfortable win over the higher-ranked Maia Basket (#9, 2-2). The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. But Barreirense managed to improve slightly their position in standings taking 12th place. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 2-3 record. Maxwell is one of the most experienced players at Barreirense and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 20.0ppg (#8). He also registered 9.0 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Victor Banaru (186-PG-2003) of league's second-best BSA-PSA Sines Santo Andre. Banaru got into 30-points club by scoring exactly 30 points in the last round. He was a key player of Santo Andre, leading his team to a 85-80 win against the lower-ranked Lusitania (#6, 3-2). Santo Andre is closer and closer to top of the standings. They will still need more victories. But 4-1 record is not that bad... Banaru has a very solid season. In 5 games in Portugal he scored 15.8ppg.
