NBL names Round 13 Player of the Week

Worthington gets it for a 1-1 split round, averaging 26 PPG and 11.5 RPG. Lost to Cairns and beat Wollongong in overtime.

Runners-up are Wilkinson (27 and 9 against Adelaide), Homicide (26/8/6 beating Perth in Perth), and Crosswhite (24 and 12 in a home win). Can only imagine the restraint shown by the league in not giving it to Homicide who made a very strong case this week!

And here's the full disaster:

Other players in consideration for the award included Adam Ballinger (Adelaide), Kirk Penney (New Zealand), Shawn Redhage (Perth), Adam Gibson (Gold Coast), Brad Williamson (Townsville), Patrick Sanders (Sydney), Peter Crawford (Townsville), Stephen Weigh (Perth) and Gary Ervin (Wollongong).
Did they get it right? Who would you have gone with?

Wortho put up the stats, but honestly I think Gary Wilkinson should have got that one.

While Corey has a better line of stats, more of Gary's boards were offensive boards; lot of hustle points in there as well. Certainly put in more effort v Adelaide.

Granted... compared to my last comment about the PoTM awards, if Wilkinson was up for it, they would have given it to Kirk Penney instead... becauses he's Kirk Penney.

Remember that the league must consult Skip's Hoops FNBL team before issuing any awards these days...

Didn't see Wilkinsons game against Adelaide but did see the Blaze win over the Hawks and I would have given it to Worthington based on that game alone. he hit some big shots at crucial times and his D was pretty solid

Probably a fair call this round even if you don't like the guy...

Some of the names on the "almost" list are laughable...
