ATLANTA -- Freshman sensation D'Marcus Simonds is the Georgia State Student-Athlete of the Week, powered by the U.S. Marines, after leading the men's basketball team to a pair of Sun Belt Conference victories to extend the GSU winning streak to five in a row.
In the Panthers' two wins last week, he averaged 25.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.5 steals per game while shooting 22-of-33 (66.7 percent) from the floor.
Last Monday, Simonds finished with 25 points on 10-of-16 shooting while pulling down four rebounds and swiping a career-high five steals. He also went 5-of-6 from the line as Georgia State topped Appalachian State 83-72.
