Kevin Lisch wins round 8 Player of the Week

Kevin Lish was named the Player of the week for round 8 of the 2012/13 IInet NBL championship. Lish led the Perth Wildcats to two victorys over the weekend, starting with the 18 points and 6 rebounds at home in the 89-64 win against the New Zealand Breakers and then with a 15 points, 2 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in the 68-63 victory over the Townsville Crocs in Townsville.

Lisch was given the POW award to the dissapointment of many fans of the NBL with Ben Madgen once again having a stellar performance in the Sydney Kings victory over the Cairsns Taipans with 29 points and 4 rebounds. Following from Madgen Adris Deleon got a mention in the award though he was probably another more worthy candidate getting the better of the NBA player Jonny Flynn with his 18 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assist game leading his team to a close victroy in Melbourne. Even Flynn would have come close over the Perth star totalling 19 points and 8 assists against Wollongong. However the NBL seems to like to share the player of the week award around it was Lisch's turn perhaps. Just another bush league mistake in the NBL...
