Stephen Curry, Andre Drummond named Players of the Week

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry and Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond were named as the league's Players of the Week for their respective conferences on Monday.

Both players led their teams to 3-0 records in the first week of the regular season. The Pistons downed the Atlanta Hawks, Utah Jazz, and Chicago Bulls, while the Warriors took down the Houston Rockets and twice defeated the New Orleans Pelicans.

Curry picked up right where he left off in 2014-15, as the league's reigning Most Valuable Player opened the season with a 40-point outing against the Pelicans, before somehow topping that mark with a 53-point explosion on Saturday.

On the whole, Curry averaged 39.3 points, 7.3 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.3 steals per game while shooting 58.8 percent from the field and 48.6 percent from deep.

Drummond, meanwhile, put up averages of 18.7 points and 16.3 rebounds along with two blocks per game while powering the Pistons to a perfect record.

The 21-year-old center flourished in the Pistons' spread pick-and-roll offense alongside point guard Reggie Jackson, who had a strong week of his own with averages of 18.7 points. 5.3 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per game.

Other nominees for the Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week were Chicago’s Jimmy Butler and Nikola Mirotic, Cleveland’s LeBron James and Kevin Love, the Los Angeles Clippers’ Blake Griffin, Miami’s Dwyane Wade, Minnesota’s Karl-Anthony Towns, Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, Philadelphia’s Jahlil Okafor, San Antonio’s Kawhi Leonard, Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan, and Utah’s Rudy Gobert.
