On Monday afternoon, Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton was named the Western Conference Player of the Week, joining two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo who wins the same award this week in the Eastern Conference.
Over three games this past week where the Suns went 3-0, Ayton averaged 23.7 points on 67.4% shooting, 16.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks per game.
Widening the lens over the last five games, Ayton has become only the third player in the last eight years to post a five game stretch with averages of 20+ points, 13+ rebounds, 3+ assists and 1+ blocks, while shooting 66+ FG%.
