Jin Hong (DBC) F | 6-7 | 190 lbs Week 8 Stats PPG: 22.0 RPG: 8.0 BPG: 2.0
Facing an under-sized MonStars team playing without (C) Nick Harrington, Hong was nothing short of dominant as he led his DBC squad to a league-high 5th consecutive win. With the win, DBC has taken over sole possession of 1st place.
Beach has shown some signs of a break-out game and this week he strung together two in one week. If he's scoring the ball on top of his usual hustle and tough work on the boards, the Ninjas will be a tough team to beat.
Runner-Up:
The Sam Lo Award for Hustlers
Kareem Merrick (BOI) 10 rebs, 1 blk
In a game that BOI controlled for much of 3 qtrs, Merrick was huge on the offensive glass. Somehow, this one slipped away.
Runner-Up: Bryant Picone (NYF) 6 rebs, 1 blk
Defensive Player of the Week
Tyquawn Goode (ASN) 3.5 spg
Against BOI, Goode was a menace against opposing ball-handlers, a game which they won. Ditto against the Fury, with a game-saving steal.

Discorama Rookie of the Week Garrett James (NYF) 12 pts, 8 asts
James was key in a close loss to ASN in which they made up a 21-pt deficit to take the lead in the 4th but lose. Only his TOs were a question mark.

The "John Starks" Award BJ Grant (MON) | 2-11 FGs (.182)
After a solid game in Week 7, Grant struggled in this one. Not that it would have mattered much as this one was a blow out early on.
It's an achievement just getting to the line 10 times but to think those 5 misses were the difference between a win and a loss kinda hurts. Dishonorable Mention: D. Manning (ASN) 1-4 FTs

Player of the Game Carlito Beach (ASN) 18 pts 5 rebs, 1 ast
Against a Ninjas team full of big bodies, Harrington showed he was the biggest, dropping 28 pts and 11 rebs in a solid win by the MonStars. Versatility may be his game but the most impressive might be that FT shooting, 11-12 is money.
Parekh helped lead BOI to an improbable comeback win after being down as much as 17 pts in the 4th qtr. His 3FG in the final minute gave BOI their first lead and they never looked back. Parekh finished with 9 pts in the period.

The Sam Lo Award for Hustlers
A. Nurse (BOI) 7 rebs, 1 stl, 2 blks
Nobody covers more ground from the guard position than Nurse, he may be the league's most athletic and his block in the 2nd qtr was ridiculous.
Runner-Up: Brian Nilsen (ASN) 11 rebs, 1 blk
Defensive Player of the Week
K. Forde (NYF) 10 rebs, 3 stls, 3 blks
As an undersized yet athletic forward, Forde kept NYF in the game until late by impacting virtually every play on defense in limited time.

Discorama Rookie of the Week Joe Vines (MNK) 20 pts, 12 reb, 1 stl
Vines returns in his best outing yet but the Monkey Kings just couldn't hold on despite leading by as much as 20 pts.
Runner-Up: Garrett James (NYF) 10 pts, 3 ast, 4 stl
The "John Starks" Award Kevin Quach (MNK) | 2-10 FGs (.200)
And Quach really was shooting well this season, he was PoW just last week but every player is allowed at least one stinker.
We might have to close this award in this division. There's not really much going on here. Plunkett went 1-4 in a win, he hasn't shot well for a guard. Dishonorable Mention: Mike Chan (MNK) 2-4 FTs
