Brandon Knight Named SEC Freshman Player Of The Week

by:Will Lentz01/24/11

It almost seems silly to make a post about this with how often a Kentucky player wins these awards.  Nevertheless, congratulations to Brandon Knight for being noted the Frshman Player of the Week for his contributions during the Alabama and South Carolina game.  Fromt he official SEC Website:

Kentucky’s Brandon Knight was named SEC Freshman of the Week after averaging 18.5 points, 5.5 rebounds , 2.5 assists and 2.0 steals in games at Alabama and at South Carolina. Knight scored in double-figures for the 13th and 14th straight games last week. He recorded his eighth 20-point game with a game-high 23 points in UK’s win at South Carolina. The eight 20-point games ties for third most by a freshman in school history, one off the record. Has hit multiple 3-pointers in four straight games, hitting 13 triples over the last four games. Knight pulled down a career-high seven rebounds in win at South Carolina

It is (from my count,) Brandon’s fourth time to be selected.
