ILLAWARRA Hawks' NBL import Demitrius Conger and Sydney Uni Flames' defending WNBL championship centre Jennifer Hamson have claimed the final 2017 round's Player of the Week awards.

For both, it is their first such success of the season, but a long time coming.

Conger had 24 points on 7-of-10 shooting, with five boards and five assists as the Hawks sent Cairns home 102-106 losers.

He then backed that up with a further 24 points on 8-of-13 shooting, with eight rebounds and eight assists as Illawarra sent Brisbane away with a 104-82 beating.

For the round, Conger averaged 24ppg at 65 percent, with 6.5rpg, 6.5apg, 1.5spg and a block for good measure! That made him the round's stand-out performer.

JENNIFER Hamson has been a monster in the middle for Sydney Uni in its WNBL title defence.

Her keyway control has been very solid of late and she needed a big game for the Flames against Townsville to secure homecourt advantage in the semi finals.

That's exactly what she delivered against the benchmark of WNBL centres - Suzy Batkovic - with a game-high 24 points, plus nine boards, an assist, a steal and a block in a 107-81 triumph.

The situation was never as dire or important in Bendigo where Jen still went for a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double in a 75-63 win.

That made her round's numbers 17ppg at 62 percent, 9.5rpg, 0.5apg, 1spg and 2.5bpg, taking Basketball On The Internet's Player of the Week honours.
