McMillan Wins Big V Player of the week
18/04/2007
A brutally efficient performance from former NBL big Luke McMillan has earned the Ringwood star player of the week honours for championship men for week 4.
Ringwood are in great shape just four weeks into the championship season and McMillan's form has been outstanding throughout, however this weeks was probably his best as Ringwood beat Eltham in a high scoring shootout at the Maroondah Stadium.
McMillan finished with 29 points, collected 15 rebounds and logged two blocked shots in the victory.
He was 12 of 19 for the afternoon, a 63% return, taking his season long shooting percentage to 53%.
In that, he missed three treys, an usual feat for one of the league's premier bigs who is well known for his capacity to hit the long range shot.
The Hawks are 4-1, in third place on the ladder but with two huge games this weekend against Dandenong and Sandringham.
Others in consideration for the weekly award were McMillan's team mate Willie Weimer, who hit seven of 12 three point attempts on his way to 33 points; Dandenong's Vince Inglima and Warrnambool's Lester Strong, who had his second successive haul of 23 rebounds.
