0 NBA Players of the Week: Anthony Davis and Jayson Tatum Shine in Week 1
The 2024-25 NBA season has just begun, and two players have already made headlines by being named the NBA Week 1 Player of the Week for Week 1. Los Angeles Lakers forward-center Anthony Davis and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had amazing performances, setting the stage for an exciting season.
Anthony Davis: A Star in the Western Conference
Anthony Davis kicked off the season with some incredible stats. He averaged 34.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game. This means he scored a lot, grabbed many rebounds, and blocked shots, making him a key player for the Lakers. In fact, he scored over 30 points in three different games last week! This and so much more is why he was the week 1 player of the week.
Davis is not just a great scorer; he’s also a strong defender. His size and skill allow him to dominate the paint, making it tough for other players to score. As the Lakers aim for another championship, Davis’s ability to lead the team will be crucial. With LeBron James getting older, Davis’s performance is even more important for the Lakers’ success.
Jayson Tatum: A Rising Star in the Eastern Conference
On the East Coast, Jayson Tatum is also making waves. He averaged 33.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game. Tatum’s skills as both a scorer and a playmaker really stand out. He can score a lot of points and also help his teammates get good shots.
Tatum was especially impressive with his scoring and shooting. He not only made a lot of baskets but also created opportunities for others. His ability to hit important shots in tight games shows that he can handle pressure and lead his team. As the Celtics look to go far in the playoffs again, Tatum’s performance will be key.
