Guard Javon Masters of the UNB Varsity Reds men's basketball team is the Wilsons Security Defensive Player of the Week.
The two-time reigning AUS MVP is often recognized for his offensive prowess, having led the country in points per game in all three seasons of his U Sports career so far. Masters averaged 28.0 points per game last season, 25.1 points per game in 2014-15 and 27.4 points per game as a rookie in 2013-14.
But the fourth-year arts student from Kitchener, Ont., is also a force on defence for the Varsity Reds. He currently leads the Atlantic conference in steals, averaging 3.0 per game so far this season.
This past week, Masters contributed four steals and three defensive rebounds in UNB's 115-75 win over the Cape Breton Capers on Friday. He also managed a double-double, scoring 22 points and adding 11 assists.
Despite ultimately falling 85-66 to the StFX X-Men Saturday, Masters defensive statistics included six defensive rebounds, three steals and a block.
The Varsity Reds will now look ahead to this weekend when they host the 7-3 and second-place Memorial Sea-Hawks in two games Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.
Wilsons Security is proud to partner with the 2017 Subway AUS Basketball Championships being held March 3 to 5 at the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax. Wilsons Security will be presenting a men's and women's defensive player profile in each week of the AUS basketball season. Stay tuned for more!
