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

26-year old Venezuelan forward Luis Risquez (206-F-2000) had a very impressive game in the last round for CB Ifach Calpe and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 5.
He had a double-double of 24 points and 16 rebounds, while his team beat Costera Sur (#9, 2-3) 102-95. Calpe maintains the 4th position in their group in the Spanish league. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost that single game earlier this season. Calpe will need more victories to improve their 3-1 record. In the team's last game Risquez had a remarkable 100.0% from 2-point range. He turned to be Calpe's top player in his first season with the team. Luis Risquez averages this season 16.3ppg and 10.3rpg.

Second best performed player last round was Diego Gonzalez (200-C-2000) of Territorio Minero Baloncesto Villa de Mieres. He is a center in his first season at Mieres. In the last game Gonzalez recorded an impressive double-double of 25 points and 18 rebounds. Of course he led Mieres to another comfortable win outscoring Rosalia (#14, 0-5) 117-66. The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the top position in Group A-B. But Mieres managed to improve slightly their position in standings taking 12th place. 4 lost games are too many comparing to just one victory Mieres managed to get this year. Gonzalez is a newcomer at Mieres and despite he is not a team leader yet, every game he becomes more reliable player. Hopefully performances like the last one will happen more often. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 8.5ppg (#3). He also registered 8.0 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to Kelvyn Montano (2000) of league's second-best CD Baloncesto Olula Del Rio Tijola. Montano showcased his all-around game by recording 19 points, 15 rebounds (!!!) and 5 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Tijola, leading his team to a 96-80 easy win against #4 ranked Melilla in a game of the week. Tijola started extremely well this year. They recorded 5 victories without losing a single game in Group D-A. Montano turns to be one of the very best players in the league while he is also a leader of the top team having his eyes on the championship title. Montano has a very solid season. In 5 games in Spain he scored 12.0ppg.
