0 In the NBA, Kawhi Leonard and Trae Young are two of the most exciting and talented players to watch. They recently won the Western Conference Player and Eastern Conference Player of the Week awards, respectively, for their outstanding performances during week 15 of the regular season.
Kawhi Leonard, often referred to as “the claw,” was in top form during the week, averaging an impressive 29.8 points per game, 8 RPG rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game.

Despite playing alongside such talented players, Kawhi has managed to maintain impressive averages throughout his hall-of-fame-worthy career. His impact on the defensive end of the floor was also notable, with averages of 2 steals and 1 block per game.
Meanwhile, Trae Young led the Atlanta Hawks to a perfect 3-0 record during week 15, earning him the Eastern Conference Player of the Week award. He was the main man for the Hawks, averaging an impressive double-double of 31 PPG points and 11.3 assists per game.
Young’s high point of the week was a game against the Phoenix Suns, where he scored 32 points and dished out 15 assists, showcasing his incredible playmaking abilities. He also showed his shooting prowess with a split of 56.9% FG and a staggering 64.5% 3-point percentage, making an average of 6.7 three-pointers per game.
In addition to his offensive skills, Young also proved to be a decent defender, averaging 1.7 steals per game.
