WASHINGTON — The Atlantic 10 Conference has announced its Under Armour Weekly Honors in men’s basketball. The awards are for games played from November 2-8.
 
Player of the Week: Nick Janowski (R-So., Pewaukee, Wis.), Davidson
Rookie of the Week: Aiden Derkack (Fr., Colonia, N.J.), Dayton
 
Nick Janowski leads all Atlantic 10 players and is 35th nationally in scoring average through the first week of the season, after he dropped a combined 46 points (23.0 ppg) in wins over Washington State (21 points on the road) and Mercer (25). The redshirt sophomore shot 73 percent from the floor (19-26)—knocking down four of his eight attempts from downtown (50.0 pct)—and was a perfect 4-4 at the foul line. Janowski also contributed seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals across the two wins.
 
Aiden Derkack had the best debut week in Dayton men’s basketball history, registering a pair of 20-point double-doubles in the Flyers’ 1-1 week. Derkack became the first UD player since Chris Wright in 2007 to register a 20-point double-double in his collegiate debut, scoring 21 points and pulling down 11 rebounds against NJIT. He then became the first freshman in program history to register back-to-back 20-point double-doubles to start his career when he scored 20 points and pulled down 10 rebounds against Northern Illinois. The New Jersey native shot 11-17 (.647) from the floor for the week, going 6-of-9 (.667) against the Highlanders and 5-8 (.625) against the Huskies. Derkack shot .500 from beyond the arc (2-4) and .810 from the foul line (17-21) and added four assists and a steal.
