PLAYER OF THE WEEK WATCH - Week 17
PLAYER | TEAM | WHY | WHY NOT | STATS | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
PER 24.88 MVP | - | Finally someone with a winning record. 22/13 on 58% is comparable with the other candidates, aside from Cousins. And a 4-0 should weight in heavily. | Simply Boogie. | PTS REB AST STL BLK | |
PER 22.27 MVP | - | Cousins won five of these awards for the Nets. It would be only fair for him to win at least one for the Magic too. Is 37/17 enough? I'd sure hope so. | Hmmm. The Magic's 2-2 record? But so far none of the other candidates in the east fared better. | PTS REB AST STL BLK | |
PER 27.16 MVP | - | Derozan wasted no time taking over his new team. He has yet to play with Love as a Net, but he was the alpha dog in Orlando, so that is unlikely to change. Last week he averaged 28%, even connecting on almost 2 three-pointers per game. and was perfect from the line. | His 41% 3-point shooting as a Net must be an aberration, right? And DDR has some serious work to do on the defensive end. Despite his gaudy offensive numbers, the Nets are better with him on the bench. A lot! | PTS REB AST STL BLK | |
PER 18.90 MVP | - | Griffin is top-3 in assists among bigs and last week he was in a giving mood too. He averaged 4.8 assists in addition to his usual 22ppg and 9 boards. | He had a terrible shooting night in the loss to the Jazz, with Aldridge's length posing a huge problem. He did hold the ball a lot longer than usual in that one too, trying to force things there simply weren't there. Not a POTW-worthy performance, despite 6 assists. | PTS REB AST STL BLK | |
PER 22.94 MVP | - | Melo was on par with his scoring averages last week, but got his team-mates more involved than usual. We have it from a reliable source the he actually is a very willing passer indeed. | Melo? A willing passer? Pfft. | PTS REB AST STL BLK | |
PER 8.67 MVP | - | For a couple of seasons Green has been underachieving in the NLL, but Ben stuck with him. They payoff comes now, with Green suddenly overachieving in the 2k16 engine and putting in 20/11 weeks on a regular basis. | 4-0 record. Same as AD, who's stats are clearly superior. But we already decided to vote for Thomas anyway, ok? | PTS REB AST STL BLK | |
PER 30.51 MVP | - | Steady, reliable AD is turning into the new TD. Putting up monster stats every week for the best team in the league. | Boooring. 30+/13 from AD no longer excites anyone but leeroy. | PTS REB AST STL BLK |
