BASKETBALL ON THE INTERNET, PLAYERS OF THE WEEK, Rd7

IT is hard to go past New Zealand Breakers two-guard Corey Webster for the B.O.T.I. PotW in the NBL.

Yes, I know his 17 points in the road win over Sydney came on 7-of-25 shooting and he hit only 3-of-11 triple attempts.

But he still led the Breakers' scoring and followed that game with a career and NBL season-high 39 points in the top-of-the-table win over Melbourne.

That tally came on 13-of-25 shooting and included 7-of-9 threes.

So for the week, Corey averaged 28ppg at 40 per cent, with 10-of-20 threes (50%), 2.0apg and 2.5rpg.

Pretty decent numbers and certainly enough to earn him the Vegemite-and-cheese sandwich (toasted or fresh ... well, fresh before tomorrow ... then I'd strongly recommend toasting before someone here at the B.O.T.I. Fun Factory and clog manufacturing plant devours it and leaves a note in the fridge saying "Rossco ate it". We're not falling for that anymore Beryl) and cup of iced tea.

THE WNBL winner here was a tight one but given Katie-Rae Ebzery's 29 points at 58 per cent came for Sydney Uni against SEQ in what then was a top-of-the-table re-match, she nudges out Perth's Sami Whitcomb for the lamington.

Sami had 28 at 62 per cent but it was against Adelaide which still is re-establishing its cred. She additionally had three rebounds, three assists, four steals and a block, but also three turnovers.

KR had four rebounds, eight assists and two steals, only coughing up the ball twice. It was close but no cigar for Sami - but that's next round's prize anyway.
