ST. LOUIS – Saint Louis junior swingman Javonte Perkins was named the Atlantic 10 Conference's Player of the Week for men's basketball, the league announced on Monday. It is Perkins' second A-10 Player of the Week honor this season.
 
Perkins led the Billikens with 22 ppg last week. He shot 66.7 percent from the field (16-24), 66.7 percent from 3-point range (6-9) and 85.7 percent from the stripe (6-7).
 
Against UMass on Feb. 18, Perkins scored 19 points on 8-of-13 shooting. Against VCU on Feb. 21 at Chaifetz Arena, he poured in 25 points and added seven rebounds while leading the Billikens to an 80-62 victory.
 
For the season, Perkins is averaging a team-leading 17.8 ppg in conference games only. That ranks fifth in the A-10.
