NLL Insider - POTW + ROTW Week 8!

by Nenjabin, updated on Thursday, January 04 2018, 01:30 pm EST

The votes are in and final, and here we announce the Players of the Week and Rookies of the Week for Week 8!

 

East POTW – Kawhi Leonard

He’s back! The 76ers have been asking for him to be the saviour for weeks and it’s here. 34.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.8 steals and 50/55/100 for their star playing out of position at SG. The 76ers went 3-2 in the week too, despite their other injuries. They’re not out of touch yet and the team is still strong when healthy, but their lack of depth has been tested severely this year. Look for them to rise.

 

West POTW – Nikola Jokic

Thunder get their guys back and Jokic goes back to C, and bang, easily his best week of the season. 3 games that are all his highest of the year, and a 20 rebound game. 27 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1.8 blocks on 53/69/94 shooting and only 0.3 turnovers a game. Maybe a sign of what is to come once they stop having random outs? Look out!

 

West ROTW – Dakari Johnson

He’s now a starter, and he’s now Alex Len in New Orleans. 20.4 points, 14.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists on 61% shooting and 82% from the line. He needs to scrub up on the defensive stats, but damn that’s some production from the guy called up to replace the now infamous Len. He’s got the lion share of the big man minutes in NO and should make a strong push down the stretch.

 

East ROTW – Ben Simmons

He’s back up here! He smashed the 76ers for a career high 39 points this week, as well as dropping 4 double doubles, 3 with points/assists and 1 with points/rebounds, with 9 assists to boot. The walking triple double threat was in full swing and the Pistons went 3-2. The parts keep moving round him, even if they’re untouchable, but 27.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 9.6 assists continues to float his rookie boat, despite still going 4.2 turnovers last week and little or no defensive numbers. His shooting still isn’t coming along either, but does it need to for him to win the award?

 

Congratulations to the winners in Week 8 and may the odds be forever in your favour!
