Alondes Williams is the only player in the country to log three 30-point games this season and leads the nation in FG made (94) and total points (252).
GREENSBORO, N.C. - For the second-straight week, graduate guard Alondes Williams was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week, as announced by the league office on Monday afternoon.
Williams is the first Demon Deacon to earn back-to-back Player of the Week honors since Jeff Teague on Jan. 12 and 19, 2009.
The Wisconsin native led Wake Forest to non-conference wins over VMI and Charlotte last week as he posted team highs in points (70), rebounds (13), assists (10), field goals made (26), free throws made (14) and minutes (79:07).
Williams set a new career high with 36 points against VMI as he shot 11-of-20 (55 percent) from the field while going 12-of-13 (92.3 percent) from the free throw line. He also added five rebounds and dished three assists against the Keydets.
Williams became the first Wake Forest player over the past 25 seasons to record at least 30 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a game as he followed up his 36-point outing with 34 points on 15 makes, eight rebounds and seven assists against Charlotte. The performance also helped Williams become the first Wake Forest player to log back-to-back 30 point games since former All-American Jeff Teague had 30 and 34 against BYU and North Carolina in January, 2009.
His 15 makes against the 49ers set a new career high and are the most by an ACC player this season. Additionally, his performance earned him MVP honors for the final game of the Basketball Hall of Fame Shootout.
Heading into Wake Forest's ACC home opener against Boston College on Wednesday, Dec. 22, Williams is the only player in the country to log three 30-point games this season and leads the nation in field goals made (94) and total points (252).
