Baller of the Week: Week 3

It's been a tough choice deciding who I should give the award to, but in the end I'm going with my gut: Max Cormier. He dropped 27 points on Team Stevens and pretty much single-handedly won the game as #1 pick Anthony Cotoni was hurt for the last 14 minutes of the second half. With Cotoni out not only did Cormier shoot about 75% from the floor, but he made his free-throws to convert a couple of "and-one's." But perhaps even more importantly, he was the only player who Team Hegeman could rely on to bring the ball up against the press because most of his teammates were turning the ball over. Overall he showed leadership for a team that needed a go-to player in the closing minutes and from that I know he definitely deserves this award. Congratulations Max! (And fyi... Max if you are reading this you owe Jeff Nelson $15!)
