Damian Lillard with another award

Let's just simply matters and call it the Damian Lillard Weekly Award:
For the fourth time this season, Weber State’s Damian Lillard has been selected as the Big Sky Conference men’s basketball Player of the Week. Lillard led the Wildcats to road victories over Eastern Washington and Portland State.

The 6-foot-3, 195-pound junior guard from Oakland, Calif., averaged 34 points, six rebounds, five assists, and one block per game. He shot 47.5 percent from the field, 57.1 percent from 3-point range, and 94.7 percent from the free-throw line.

Lillard scored 30 points with seven rebound, five assists and a blocked shot in Weber State’s 79-71 win over Eastern Washington on Thursday. He was 4-of-7 from 3-point range and 12-of-13 from the free-throw line. During the game, he scored his 1,500th career point.

Lillard followed with 38 points, five assists, five rebounds, one block and one steal in an 88-81 victory over Portland State. He scored 23 points in the first half, including a halfcourt 3-point shot at the buzzer to cut Portland State’s lead to 51-44. Lillard made a career-high eight 3-pointers and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line.

Lillard leads the nation in scoring with an average of 26.3 points per game. He has been selected as the Big Sky Conference Player of the Week six times during his career.
