BASKETBALL ON THE INTERNET, PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

THE Breakers are back and it’s no coincidence Tom Abercrombie has run into the type of form which had many touting him as an NBA player not so long ago.

Abers had 23 points, four boards, three assists, a steal and a block as the champs sent Perth packing. He backed up with 19 points at 63 per cent, seven boards, an assist and a block as New Zealand put away Townsville.

Averaging 21ppg and 5.5 rebounds, Thomas tips out a bunch of Illawarra candidates to take this week’s B.O.T.I. PotW honours and with it, a packet of Fruchocs and a pack of Maltesers, this being “sweet week” .

WHEN you’ve gone for a career-best 30 points, with seven assists and in the process smacked your former club by 27 points, you’ve made a case for the B.O.T.I WNBL PotW award.

But as if that wasn’t enough for Leilani Mitchell, she scored the match-winning basket for Adelaide against Dandenong in a back-up 16-point, four-assist game.

So yes, that’s a round average of 23ppg and 5.5 assists and Lei can collect her prize, a Cornish pastie, complete with corn off the cob, from the pie-warmer here at News Corp in the city.

LEI GOES: Leilani Mitchell driving, as she did to beat Dandenong.
