Isiah Victor wins Round 16 POTW
Perth Wildcats import forward Isiah Victor has taken out the National Basketball League's (NBL) Player of the Week honours for Round 16 after guiding his team to an upset victory of early season pace-setters, the South Dragons.Runner-up was Julius Hodge for 29/4/4 in a loss to the Blaze, and next came Rosell Ellis who averaged 18 and 10 in a 2-0 round taking on the Dragons and Blaze.
Victor was a key factor in the Wildcats surprise 99-90 win on the road against the Dragons, scoring 25 points and adding 12 rebounds, one steal and one block. The 206cm American also shot the ball at an efficient 56 percent from the field (9-of-16).
And then the epic list of honourable mentions:
Others in contention for the award included Ian Crosswhite (Cairns), Kirk Penney (New Zealand), Justin Bowen (Gold Coast), James Harvey (Gold Coast), Corey Williams (Townsville), Kavossy Franklin (Wollongong), Cameron Tragardh (Wollonong), Luke Whitehead (Gold Coast), Jacob Holmes (Adelaide), Matthew Knight (Sydney), Rick Rickert (New Zealand), Martin Cattalini (Cairns), Darnell Hinson (Perth), Shawn Redhage (Perth), Dusty Rychart (Wollongong), Glen Saville (Wollonong) and Darnell Mee (Cairns).Could've gone for Ellis in second spot with two big wins even though the stats aren't outrageous. Crocs have been doing OK considering Rillie hasn't had his usual output and they lost Pepper at the start of the season.
