 New Orleans Hornets PG Greivis Vasquez is the NBA Western Conference Player of the Week. Just let that sentence sink in for a moment before moving on. Vasquez was Player of the Week in the same conference that has Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, and Kevin Love.

 

Vasquez earned Player of the Week honors for a New Orleans team that has the worst record in the Western Conference. For a Hornet to be Player of the Week in the Western Conference, Greivis Vasquez must be playing extraordinary basketball. Last week, Vasquez averaged 21.0 points, 10.0 assists, and 6.3 rebounds per game.

Greivis Vasquez is having this amazing season for New Orleans while playing as the fulltime starting PG for the first time in his NBA career. In his first season, he only started one game. Last season, he started 26 games for the Hornets while Jarrett Jack was injured.

On the season, Greivis Vasquez is averaging 8.8 assists per game.
The only Western Conference player with a better assists per game average is Chris Paul.
Greivis Vasquez has also experienced a surge in scoring recently. Last week, he set a career high in scoring with 27 points in a game. The Hornets are very fortunate to have a dual threat (scoring and assists) point guard.
