I think a little of it is kinda like a "Lifetime Achievement" award, like they do with the Academy Awards. It does show a good shooter + a good PG= good shots.

I stand corrected, Isaac said about the league wanting to see each team get a PotW award for the season, not that they want to see the weekly winner come from a winning team.

From the NBL's point of view I guess it makes sense but I still say both reason's make a mockery of the award. Its not always rewarding the best player of the round which is what it should do.

Don't get me wrong, and no disrespect intended to Mat Campbell, but this show's how shallow the NBL's PotW award has become in 2011-12.

Like Isaac I can understand the NBL's desire to have the award go to someone from a winning team but in essence that makes a mockery of the Player of the Week award. This isn't the first time this season that someone from a losing team has had a better personal game than anyone else in the league yet has been overlooked for the PotW simply because his team lost.

A player of the week should be that, PLAYER of the week, regardless of whether or not his team won or lost.

Compare their respective stats for the round and judge for yourself...

MC: (Hawks d Tigers 90-68)
17pts, 3 rebs, 1 assist, 0 steals, 0 blocks

DJ: (36ers lost to Crocs 69-79)
21pts, 16 rebs, 1 assist, 2 steals, 2 blocks

And also consider that Matty Campbell had plenty of help in demolishing the Tigers. Without DJ's input Adelaide would have been lucky not to join the Crocs (against Perth) and Taipans in scoring less than 60 points.
