The votes are in and final, and here we announce the Players of the Week
and Rookies of the Week for Week 11!
East –
Kevin Durant
Despite some flux in the Celtics, one thing has remained the same…KD.
Have you heard? KD is a PF now and look out world! 3 straight weeks averaging in
the 30s since the move and he claimed the award with over half the 1st
place votes this week behind averages of 31.8 points, 6 rebounds, 3.5 assists,
0.8 steals and 3!! blocks. Yep, you read that last number right. Why hasn’t he
been a PF before? Onwards and upwards for the Celtics. Congratulations Kevin
Durant on 4X POTW!
West –
Joel Embiid
West
Rookie – Joel Embiid
Can this kid get any more impressive? Not only does he claim the Rookie
of the week award with near unanimous 1st place votes, but he also
claims the POTW award with over 60% of the 1st place votes to beat
out Harrison Barnes. This marks his 2nd POTW award also, as a rookie
and he averaged an amazing 24 points, 13.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.8 steals
and 1.8 blocks on 69% shooting and 60% from deep. Astounding! He’s given the
Spurs an Anthony Davis type player…oh wait. Congratulations Joel Embiid on ROTW
for Week 11 and 2x POTW!
East
Rookie – Brandon Ingram
He’s owned the East Rookie
Race this season and he claims his 5th award this week despite
splitting the 1st place votes with his teammate Thon Maker. Ingram’s
week 11 put him back up into the 20s for scoring, with 22 points a game, 5.8
rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1 steal, but he shot it a poor 36% from the field and
27% from deep. His numbers were high usage but the kid still put the ball in
the hole for another big week. Congratulations Brandon Ingram on 5x ROTW!
Congratulations
to the winners in Week 11, and may the odds be forever in your favour!
