Auckland Stars guard Lindsay Tait (Photosport)

Player Of The Week – Lindsay Tait (Youthtown Auckland Stars)
34 points (11/18 FG, 2/6 3pt, 10/11 FT), five assists, two steals, two rebounds and a block v Cartridge World Otago Nuggets

For the second time this season, Tait has emerged as the roundís best performer on the back of a big scoring effort against the Nuggets.

Incredibly, he had to watch his franchise scoring record wiped from the books by an even more prolific display by American team-mate Tashaan Forehan-Kelly (37 points). Tait gets the POW nod on the basis of his superior all-round contribution.

His performance also headed off Link Abrams‘ ìdouble doubleî for TET Taranaki Mountain Airs against Inspire Net Manawatu and Bakari Hendrixís dominance of U Park It Waikato Pistons for Century City Wellington Saints.
