<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Seattle SuperSonics swingman Kevin Durant and Toronto Raptors forward Jamario Moon on Friday were named the NBA's Rookies of the Month for January. The second overall pick in June's draft, the much-hyped Durant won the Western Conference honor for the third straight month. He leads all first-year players, averaging 19.4 points. The 19-year-old Durant highlighted his third month by scoring 28 points in a 104-96 loss to the Phoenix Suns Bucks on January 3. Moon set a career high with 17 points in a 99-95 loss at Philadelphia on January 19. He is averaging 8.0 points, 6.2 rebounds in 29 minutes this season, ranking first among rookies in steals, second in rebounds and third in minutes.</div> http://sportstwo.com/NBA/Story/NBA/1612521
Nice to see Moon get some recognition by the NBA. Well deserved and hopefully he takes this and plays great tonight.
Congrats to Jamario. He's stepped his game this month, even if I'd like to see him drive a little more. Now let's see if Bosh gets the PoM award too.
