Sixth Man of the Year
Julian Eziukwu – Park, Junior
5.9 PPG / 6.5 RPG / 1.9 BPG / 1.6 SPG / 1.2 APG
Without question, a starter on any other team in WNY. An aggressive rebounder with a knack for staying with the play and finishing in the paint, Eziukwu's most impressive attribute was his work ethic. Not only did he willingly accept his role as Park's sixth man, he embraced it. Upon entering the game, you would immediately hear him talking on defense and notice a boost in the team's energy at that end due to his presence.
