Djapa joined teammate Eric Acker as NEC Rookie of the Week award winners for the Sharks this season. The 7-footer from Belgrade, Serbia has come on strong in league play and last week put up 14.0 points on a sizzling 78.6 percent shooting mark from the field. He added 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 block per game, and connected on both of his three-point attempts in LIU’s split. Djapa netted a career-high 19 points on 7-8 shooting and added nine rebounds at FDU on Thursday. He went on to sink 4-6 shots and finish with nine points and three boards in Saturday’s 70-67 triumph over Saint Francis U in Brooklyn. Djapa has made 23 of his last 30 field goal attempts, a 76.7 percent success rate. He is contributing 6.5 ppg, and his 5.5 rpg ranks second among NEC freshman and tenth overall on the circuit.
