The votes are in and final, and here we announce the Players of the Week
and Rookies of the Week for Week 7!
East
POTW – Dwight Howard
In the age of giants, Dwight has been relatively quiet…until last week.
He dropped 35 and then 41 and had 21 rebounds in a game also. 32 points, 18
rebounds, 2.3 assists, 3.3 steals and 0.8 blocks on 65% shooting and a better
than usual 60% from the line. Perhaps the anchorman of the Knicks isn’t dead
yet!
West POTW
– DeMarcus Cousins
Uhhhh Spud? Crickets. Cousins had a season high 19 rebounds in a game
this week and had all double doubles including a 37 point game on his way to
25.8 points, 16.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.3 blocks on 52%
shooting and a season best 86% from the line. The big man has clicked under new
GM Josh and so have the Wolves as they’re now meeting all their season
expectations.
West
ROTW – Jayson Tatum
Hit 30 twice including a career high 38 on your way to averaging 28
points 2.8 rebound2 and 3 assists, and you’re a pretty safe bet to take home a
rookie of the week award. Tatum has been here before and he’s back again, and
if he can keep up the punishing every defence and pouring in the points, maybe
the rookie race isn’t so clear cut afterall?
East
ROTW – Kyle Kuzma
He
reached 20 for the first time in his career and averaged 16.5 points, 5
rebounds and 2.5 assists on solid shooting. He’s been solid all year but his
confidence is catching up to his alter ego and he looks set to continue to get
better and better down the stretch. Watch this space!
Congratulations to the
winners in Week 7 and may the odds be forever in your favour!
