The votes are in and final, and here we announce the Players of the Week
and Rookies of the Week for Week 6!
East
POTW – DeMarcus Cousins
The Nets went 3-1 in week 6 and DeMarcus Cousins finally won a POTW
award! He edged out DeMar DeRozan by 3 points, despite having half the number
of 1st place votes as DDR with averages of 27.5 points, 13 rebounds,
3 assists, 1 steal and 1.5 blocks on 57% shooting and 79% from the line.
Cousins is the star and leader of the Nets as they climb into the Eastern
Playoff last spot with GM Wizkid having set the team up fantastically.
Congratulations DeMarcus Cousins of POTW for Week 6!
West POTW
– Derrick Favors
The Nuggets went 4-1 with Favors back last week and are 7-3 since his
actual return, but his big Week 6 earned him a 1 point POTW win over Joel
Embiid. He dropped averages of 20.6 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2
steals and 1.4 blocks and showed why he is the key to the Nuggets hopes this
season. Can he keep healthy and keep the team rolling? Congratulations Derrick
Favors on POTW for Week 6!
West
ROTW – Jaylen Brown
Brown is back on the winners board this week averaging 20.2 points, 4
rebounds, 4.4 assists and 0.6 steals to beat out Marquese Chriss for the ROTW
award. He’s been here 3 times now as he continues to be the stand out piece in
the Blazers limited puzzle. Congratulations Jaylen Brown on 3x ROTW!
East
ROTW – Brandon Ingram
Like
Brown, Ingram is back on the winners podium too easily beating out his teammate
Thon Maker for his 3rd ROTW award. He put in averages of 22 points,
4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 blocks and probably continues to
lead the charge to the grand prize at the end of the tunnel. Congratulations
Brandon Ingram on 3x ROTW!
Congratulations to the
winners in Week 6 and may the odds be forever in your favour!
