K1X PLAYER OF THE WEEK
welcome to k1x’s new category, “player of the week”, where we will regularly be honoring the best k1x warriors on all levels. so if you feel you deserve a shout-out, let us know … we tip off today with a look at last week and two special family members:
1. ROBERTO AUFIERO
In a 115:86 victory over the iserlohn kangaroos the 2,05-m forward used his playing time of just 17 minutes to become the topscorer for his Munich basket team with 24 points. Those came on 11 of 11 from the field and 2 of 2 from the foul line. His five rebounds – three of them on the offensive glass – one block and one steal earned him the player of the day honors.

2. COREY “HOMICIDE” WILLIAMS
The NBL Player of the Week for round nine may be just the first of many awards coming Homicide’s way. Since joining up in Far North Queensland, Williams has brought respectability to the Crocs, offering himself as a true playmaker worth 22 points per game. Not merely pacing a mediocre team, his play has opened up the court for JR, Pepper, Young, Robertson and Cedar to grab the looks they prefer and charged the Townsville hardwood with an energy and an eagerness unique to himself. The hard runs in practice, and the knack Homicide has for controlling the tempo, elevates his MVP credentials above all the other point guard imports in the L. Getting to the hoop at will is one thing, distributing the rock to the tune of five dimes a game and being the leader is something else altogether and, as the highest profile import in the country this year, Homicide’s game is fitting the bill.
