Jeremy Lin has been named Player of the Week by Time Warner Cable Sportsnet.
TWC Sportsnet wrote, "Our player of the week is Jeremy Lin, who had a well-rounded week of games for the Lakers". The Taiwanese-American Lakers point guard recorded 44 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds over three outings from January 5 to January 9.
Travelers Today said, “Lin capped the week with an 18-point explosion to help the purple-and-gold win against the Orlando Magic 101-84.”
The 26-year old Lin is playing the final year of his contract worth $15M and averaging at least 10 points and 4 assists per game this season. But the Los Angeles Lakers has not been having a great season so far, with a record of 12-26.
