And the big time offers are rolling through right in tune. He's been a prolific scorer, but has also shown the ability to play with his head on a swivel and make good decisions and good passes on the move.

Yesterday we began our look at some basketball players that stood out over Mother's Day weekend. There were a lot of players competing at a high level, so here's a few more athletes that had prime performances over the weekend.
