PLAYER OF THE WEEK WATCH - Week 2

PLAYERTEAMWHYWHY NOTSTATS

Carmelo Anthony


PER 14.52


MVP


-
Melo is back with a vengeance this year and came out of the gates blistering hot trying to prove something... That he is still one of the best forwards in this league. The Wizards went 2-2 this week which isn't on par with what they produced in week one but both losses were to an insurgent Sixers squad. He's slid into the PF spot perfectly and spread the floor wide open for the wizards. He dropped 31.8 PPG week 2 and did it shooting 51% from the field, can't argue with that... Especially when he's also giving you 8.3 RPG, what can't he do?I mean statistically you can't really fault him, he may be taking to many shots from behind the arc when its his role to be crashing boards and getting easy buckets while getting his team mates involved. His +/- isn't flattering and suggests with all his stellar play he doesn't necessarily translate that to the win column.

DeMarcus Cousins


PER 22.41


MVP

The Nets went 2-2 in week two including a win over the Magic. Solid. Boogie is the obvious face of this franchise and it all falls on him. As if 25/11 wasn't good enough in week one the guy went beast mode and shot lights out all over the floor (61/67/86) he also improved on the defensive end and he's pretty much doing everything himself. Monster.the Nets are struggling not going to lie... Way to early to judge but does boogie put up these kind of stats on a team flying high? Probably.... I don't see what my point is here, somehow he has to do more?

DeMar DeRozan


PER 32.47


MVP


-
The Magic went 3-2 this week against some solid opponents. DeMar nabbed three player of the game honours and took he's production to a whole new level in week two. The guy gave Orlando 30.6 PPG, 5.6 RPG and 4.4APG this week... Winning the game on both ends of the floor while shooting crazy percentages from all over. The Magic did well with the return on Bro-lo but some saw it as a backwards step. DeMar just saw it as a platform to explode off of.With all his standout performances the Magic are still dropping games to teams like the Nets and the Pels, franchises on their way up in their own right of course but Orlando were touted as a team to really cause some damage in the top tier of the elite out East. Player of the game awards don't mean a whole lot if you're not consistent.

Rudy Gay


PER 23.05


MVP


-
I read some ill advised article a few days ago that was published about how the Heat need to trade Gay while they still can... Dunno how that guy still has a job but obviously Gay took exception to this and after a 0-5 week one unloaded on his hapless opponents and had 3 40+ point games. The Heat bounced back and looked like an actual basketball team going 3-1, knocking off the young Bucks juggernaut along the way too. Back in business so to speak and it's safe to say the Heat are having a Gay ole time (Heh...). He was extremely efficient and lived at the line all game shooting 90% on 7.8 attempts. White hot. He's doing what he needs to do on the offensive end sure but does he contribute enough on the defensive end? The Heat can't expect to find much consistency through out the season if it all lays on the shoulders of a somewhat streaky scorer.

Jahlil Okafor


PER 13.04


MVP


-
A new face on the list to break up the same old guys we see here constantly. NO are looking feisty this year which is a welcome change and Okafor has taken this team by the horns and claimed it as his own. Hopefully he can lead them to some success. 25/10 is elite big man numbers, dude is making a statement.The Pels went 1-3 and are looking to nose dive if they don't make some adjustments soon. Okafor has been putrid from the line and doesn't do a whole lot except score and rebound. If he expects to get any recognition he needs to actually play defence.

Harrison Barnes


PER 3.57


MVP


-
Barnes is having a coming out party and led the resurgent dubs team to 3-1 in week two. Taking his game to another level and dropping a shade under 30 points a game shooting 53%. He's an underrated play maker as well and proving he's not just a one trick pony. Golden state are looking legit with this guy leading the charge.Wheres the defence? .8 steals a game in over 30 mins. Not good enough, hard to justify the harsh analysis when they are winning games but the elite teams in this league won't be so forgiving.

Kemba Walker


PER 32.50


MVP


-
One of the best PG in the league right now, he's doing everything the suns need him to do. 20/10 is what you would be accustomed seeing from a big man so that kind of output from your franchise point guard is insane. He's picking his shots too shooting 54% from the field and a crazy 65% from down town in week two. The suns have had a harsh opening couple of weeks schedule wise so their record doesn't reflect how good they are. With horford back to take pressure off Kemba expect these kind of numbers all year long.cant fault the guy on what he is able to do on the hard wood, it's just unfortunate that team record will always be the major deciding factor with player of the week honours. As soon as the suns string some wins together watch out!

Brook Lopez


PER 13.93


MVP


-
Bro-Lo was always solid for the magic but in a block buster trade sending him to the Wolves; in turn giving them the big man they always needed, he has gone off and taken this team over. 20/10 and one of the league leaders in blocks per game, what else can you ask for from your starting Centre? 2-2 this week isn't the Best of results compared to week one but it's good for 2nd out west and it looks like that's about where they'll stay on the back of this seasoned pro.he's putting up waaaaay to many shots, obviously PG out has a lot to do with this but his  inefficiency is probably a big contributor to their sub par week for such an elite team.
