The votes are in and final, and here we announce the Players of the Month
and Rookies of the Month for the month of January!
East
POTW – Stephen Curry
So who is #1 in the NLL right now? Yep. 33 points, 3.4 rebounds, 8.7
assists and 1.2 steals a game on 51% shooting including 46% from deep on 12.5
3pt attempts a game. Steph is on fire leading his Bulls and now he’s put a
Player of the Month award on the shelf too. Congrats Steph!
West POTW
– Joel Embiid
He takes the Player of the Month crown off his teammate Davis this month,
and it’s easy to see why. 28.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.8 steals
and 2.1 blocks with only 0.7 turnovers and shooting 57%. He’s taking 8 FTs a
game at 84% and even hitting the odd triple. Beast mode.
West
ROTW – Dakari Johnson
He’s in the East now, but his parting gift on his way to Boston is a West
Rookie of the Month award. 17.4 points, 13.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.5 steals
and 1.3 blocks on 58% shooting. Bam! He’s in and out of the GLeague now in
Boston, but he’s starting in Week 13 and all set to resume his rookie of the
month ways.
East
ROTW – Ben Simmons
Who
else? He got even better in January going for 27.8 points, 7 rebounds, 9.6
assists, 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks…from a 6’10 PG. He shot 47% from the field,
but 0/20 from deep. Come on Ben…
Congratulations to the
winners in January and may the odds be forever in your favour!
