The votes are in and final, and here we announce the Players of the Week
and Rookies of the Week for Week 12!
East
POTW – DeMarcus Cousins
DMC is back again! 4th time is a charm. He was near undisputed
this week claiming the award from Serge Ibaka. 3 weeks into the PF experiment
now and he’s not slowing down. 30 points, 10.3 boards, 6.5 assists (Season
high), 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks. Yes folks, you read that right!
Congratulations DeMarcus Cousins on 4x POTW!
West POTW
– Anthony Davis
Another week, another Spur and another Anthony Davis award! He narrowly
pipped Harrison Barnes for the award this week dropping 27 points, 12.3
rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.5 blocks on 58% shooting and seems to
be at home at the C spot for the first time this season. Congratulations
Anthony Davis on 5x POTW!
West
ROTW – Jaylen Brown
The West rookie race has been Brown’s to lose from the start in many ways
and he continues to feature again this week with his 6th award with
ease over Marquese Chriss. He averaged 20 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1
steal and 1 block and shot 43% this week which is better than he has in most.
Unfortunately he did turn it over 5.8 times, but he’s been forced to the ball
handling role more than what you might have hoped as a rookie. Congratulations
Jaylen Brown on 6x ROTW!
East
ROTW – Malik Beasley
It was
a close run thing this week but Malik Beasley edged out Thon Maker to claim his
1st award of the season! He dropped 20.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2
assists on 49% shooting, 44% from deep and 93% from the line in his 2nd
starting week for the Hawks and the kid looks great! The Hawks were high on him
under their old owner at draft time and their new owner has shown the faith to
give him time now. Congratulations Malik Beasley on ROTW for Week 12!
Congratulations to the
winners in Week 12 and may the odds be forever in your favour!
