PLAYER OF THE WEEK WATCH - Week 6

	TEAM	WHY	WHY NOT	STATS
James Harden PER 37.73 MVP	-	Here comes the only 'little' guy among eastern candidates. Harden was on fire last week dropping a season-high 53 on the Lakers. He averaged 33 and 7 dimes with 56% shooting en route to a 4-1 week.	Despite his individual stats he managed to have two negative +/- games last week.	PTS REB AST STL BLK
Karl-Anthony Towns PER 31.82 MVP	-	KAT already has one in the bag for his 30/14 averages in his undefeated week two. He came close again, suffering a single loss in a five-game week six and averaged 25.8 (spot on his season average)/13 with over 2 assists and steals per game.	He also averaged couldn't stop himself from whacking his opponents, despite the new sliders. He even fouled out against the Lakers.	PTS REB AST STL BLK
Jonas Valanciunas PER 22.91 MVP	-	New sliders are no big deal for Big Val. The ridiculous foul calls haven't been there for him for a couple of weeks already and he simply made up for the reduction of shot attempts with higher efficiency.	Jonas won this award in week when the Magic went undefeated. After a 1-3 week? Hell no!	PTS REB AST STL BLK
Joel Embiid PER 22.77 MVP	-	The Process is ready to take over this team from Anthony Davis. Last week he clearly was Pop's go-to guy averaging 27/12 with active hands that snared 3.5 steals per game too.	A limping Rudy Gobert matched him shot for shot, neither being able to stop the other. Joel lucky his bench bailed him out, otherwise the Spurs would have been 2-2 for the week.	PTS REB AST STL BLK
