PRIMO NBL Player of the Week - Mike King (Poedium Harbour Heat)

27 points (12/13 FG, 3/6 FT), 17 rebounds, four blocks, three steals and an assist v St Laurence Wellington Saints On a team lacking in tall timber, King has been over-matched against the league's giants all season, but like the Heat, has refused to take a backward step. His performance against a depleted Saints frontcourt was statistically the best individual outing of the season and included a team-record four blocks. It elevated him into the top 10 of the Player Power Rankings with a bullet ... from outside the top 20 last week. Special mention should go to Scottwood Waikato Titans forward Greg Lewis, who overcame a broken hand to compile 38 points and 15 rebounds against Auckland.
