Corey Webster NBL player of the week
After narrowly missing out on Round One Player of the Week Honors, Corey Webster has earned Round Two P.O.W honors with an astonishing scoring display to lead his Heat team to two road victories in Hawkes Bay and Manawatu last week.
Webster was in hot form last week scoring 38 points (14/22 FG, 5/8 3pt) & grabbing 8 rebounds in a 89-87 win against the 0800 Easy LPG Bay Hawks. The 38 points against the Hawks was not enough for Webster so he hit 43 points (15/25 FG, 8/12 3pt) in a 122-101 romp over the McDonalds Manawatu Jets to end a very successful road trip for the Appliance Shed Harbour Heat who are top of the table.
During Round Two he shot an incredible 65% from beyond the arc and is currently the NBL League Leader in scoring averaging 38 points per game. Forget about Rookie of the Year Honors he is the early candidate for Most Valuable Player of the NBL.
ecogise Nelson Giants guard Jarryd Lloyd and Waikato Pistons forward Adam Ballinger were the runner ups in this weeks player of the week.
Jarryd Lloyd was unstoppable in the Giants victory over the Saints last Thursday tallying 31 points, 7 assists and 4 steals in the Giants 98-93 road win.
Adam Ballinger showed his all round game with the stat line of 22 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals in the 84-74 victory over the Devon Dynamos Taranaki.
