Timberlake collects his second consecutive Choice Hotels NEC Player of the Week award after leading the streaking Knights into first place with a pair of wins last week. Timberlake averaged 21.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and hit 55.2 percent of his shots from the floor and 80.0 percent from the line as Fairleigh Dickinson stretched its win streak to six and improved to 9-2 in league play. In a 78-65 win over visiting Long Island on Thursday, he tallied 17 points (8-12 FG), eight rebounds and four assists, then erupted for a game-high 25 points and snared seven boards in the Knights’ 87-72 conquest of Wagner in Staten Island on Saturday. With the score deadlocked at 35-35 at intermission, Timberlake poured in 11 of FDU’s first 15 points in the second half to help the Knights slowly pull away the Seahawks. The Brooklyn native has averaged 22.0 ppg over his last five outings to raise his season average from 12.7 ppg to 15.3 ppg, sixth in the conference. He also ranks among the NEC’s top-15 in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.71:1; sixth), steals (1.6 spg; seventh), assists (3.6 apg; seventh), field goal percentage (.480; ninth) and rebounding (5.4 rpg; 12th). In games against NEC competition, Timberlake is second in the conference with 18.2 ppg.
