Forman named Player of the Week
Could've been a coin-flip because I thought that Corey Williams probably had him beaten with his 29 (10/18), 6 and 3 in a win over Adelaide, but Oscar Forman has won Player of the Week for his 23 points and eight rebounds against Cairns.
Forman grilled the Cairns Taipans for a game-high 23 points in the Breakers' lone game this round, shooting 7 three-pointers as part of an 8-from-13 night that saw him finish with an overall field goal percentage of 61.5 per cent.Homicide was indeed the runner-up while John Gilchrist and Adam Ballinger both averaged 21.5 PPG over a 1-1 road trip.
'The Big O' also snagged eight rebounds in the 94-77 Breakers’ win over the Taipans, a victory that snapped Cairns’ two game winning streak and put New Zealand a game above .500.
Anthony Petrie got a mention for 17 and 6 with five blocks in a road win over Perth while James Harvey had 21 points and Kirk Penney racked up 22 points in his return from injury.
Other contenders for the award were Peter Crawford (Townsville), Tywain McKee (Wollongong), Round 2 Player of the Week Rich Melzer (Cairns), and Kevin Lisch (Perth).
