KYLE HARVEY - QBL PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Kyle Harvey - Ipswich Force
After putting in a huge 43 point, 17 rebound effort to help see his team secure a big win over Gold Coast at the weekend, Ipswich’s Kyle Harvey is the men’s Player of the Week for Round 15. The US import was instrumental for the Force as they sought to take a commanding lead by halftime, hitting 33 of his team’s 64 points for the half to leading the Gold Coast by 29 points at the major break. He continued to dominate through the second half, putting up 12 points in the third quarter to help put a virtual end to the Rollers’ hopes of a comeback, and finished off the match with eight points in the final quarter, during 35 minutes on court. Harvey shot at 64.3% in the field and took seven from seven at the foul line, in addition to his 17 rebounds, three assists and one steal. It’s without a doubt his best performance of the season, smashing his season averages of 18.6 points at 58.7%, 7.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. 

It’s the second time Harvey has taken out the Player of the Week title, winning the accolade in Round 7 for his strong performances of 31 points at 72.2% during the Force’s win over Toowoomba that week. The Arkansas native has made a strong impression in his first QBL season, consistently contributing big numbers for Ipswich and assisting them in reaching the playoffs. Harvey joined the Force after averaging 17.7 points and 4.7 rebounds over his three games with Team Cantu at the Eurobasket Summer League in Las Vegas in 2013, where he was also named in the All-Star team. Harvey’s college career at Williams Baptist College saw him average 17.2 points at 50.1% in the field and 6.3 rebounds per game during his four years with the school, and was the top scorer in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes’ American Midwest Conference three years running. He was also named All-AMC Co-Player of the Year in his final year in 2012-13.
