Gerald Wallace was dumbfounded when he received the award notification; starting in the All-Star Game and Player of the Month, this sudden wealth of honors had come out of nowhere...
Zhang Yang and Paul each received the Eastern and Western Conference Rookie of the Month awards, respectively.
In February, Zhang Yang played 27 minutes per game over 10 games, scoring 15.5 points, grabbing 4.8 rebounds, dishing out 2.3 assists, and making 1.1 steals, with a shooting percentage of 43%.
His average points per game exceeded that of last December, mainly because he scored 20+ points in 3 of the 10 games this month, which significantly boosted his average scoring effect compared to 4 times in 15 games last December.
