Denver has a history of finding success with freshmen early in the year, and Craig has the makings of another freshmen success story in Denver. Probably the early stand out freshman in the league.

Defensive Player of the Week
Forward Deshang Weaver Oral Roberts
Weaver won the award in another very close vote. It also makes back-to-back weeks winning the award for Weaver. Weaver has had moments as a shot blocker throughout his college career but this season he has been a block machine. For the week Weaver averaged 3 blocks per game, he added 2 offensive rebounds, and .5 steals per game.
