ROTW – Jaylen Brown
8 is a nice number. It’s round, it’s symmetrical, it’s never ending and
it’s Jaylen Brown’s number of ROTW awards after he got 50% of the first place
votes to beat out Ivica Zubac this week. He dropped 24.2 points, 4.8 rebounds,
2.8 assists and 1 block on 50% shooting and 46% from deep. He’s been getting
better and better to end the year and he’s the main building block of the team
for the future. Congratulations Jaylen Brown on 8x ROTW!

ROTW – Thon Maker
Thon
is a starter now and he’s a stud! He had 60% of the vote to beat out Buddy
Hield for this weeks award. He dropped 19.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists
and 1.3 blocks on 52% shooting. This raw Aussie kid is looking like he’s here

Maker on 3x ROTW!
Congratulations to the
winners in Week 17 and may the odds be forever in your favour!
