Kellan Grady Named Atlantic 10 Player of the Week
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – For the 10th time in his career, Davidson’s Kellan Grady has been voted Atlantic 10 Player of the Week, as announced by the league office Monday afternoon.
A senior from Boston, Mass., Grady finished the week averaging 23 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists, while torching the nets for 76.2 percent (16-21), including 10-of-14 from 3-point range.
In Davidson’s win over Fordham, the 6-5 guard turned in a 24-point, 7-rebound effort, while matching his career-high of 7 treys.
He backed that performance with 22 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in the Wildcats’ come-from-behind win at UMass on Sunday.
Over his last five contests, the three-time all-conference performer is averaging 19.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. In addition, he’s shooting 57.8 percent overall and is 19-of-37 from long range.
Winners of four straight, Grady and the Wildcats return to action Saturday with a 2 p.m. contest against league-leading St. Bonaventure inside Belk Arena.
