Jordan Floyd of King Named National Player of the Week for Second Time This Season
GREENVILLE, S.C. - Jordan Floyd of King has been named the U.S. Basketball Writers Association Men’s Division II National Player of the Week for the week of games between Feb. 4-10, 2020.
The senior guard claimed his second Division II National Player of the Week honor of the season after scoring 43 points in back-to-back games to lead King to a pair of Conference Carolinas road wins last week. Floyd scored 43 points in a 106-102 double-overtime win at Erskine, and he repeated the 43-point effort in regulation as he led the Tornado to a 99-90 win at Mount Olive.
Floyd shot 53 percent (31-for-58) from the field on the week, including a 48 percent (10-for-21) clip from three-point range. He averaged 43.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.0 steals in last week’s games. He made 15-of-31 from the field and 10-of-13 from the free throw line in his first 43-point effort of the week at Erskine and he went 16-for-27 from the field (7-for-11 on three-pointers) and 4-for-6 from the free throw line as he went for 43 again at Mount Olive while adding nine rebounds, four assists and four steals.
Floyd, a 6-foot-2, 170-pound guard, has six 40-point games this year, including four of the past five contests. He is the runaway national scoring leader in Division II, averaging 31.2 points per game. Floyd is averaging nearly four points per game more than Division II’s second-leading scorer. He has scored exactly 43 points - his career-high - four times this year. Floyd’s efforts have helped King to eight consecutive wins and the Tornado currently lead the Conference Carolinas standings at 18-5 overall and 12-3 in conference play.
Floyd is the third player to earn USBWA Men’s Division II National Player of the Week honors twice this season.
