FGCU’s Lucas named ASUN Newcomer of the Week
Florida Gulf Coast forward Bryson Lucas has been named the ASUN Newcomer of the Week.
Lucas is the only player in the Atlantic Sun Conference to rank in the top five in scoring, rebounds and blocks on a per game basis.
Following the first week of action, the fifth-year transfer is the only ASUN player to rank in the top-five of the league in points per game (18.5), rebounds per game (8.5), blocks per game (2.5) and double-doubles (1). His 25-point, 10-rebound performance in the season opener at UCF made him just the second Eagles player overall and first since 2015 to post a double-double in their FGCU debut as he led Florida Gulf Coast in a 96-95 overtime decision against UCF.
Over the past week, Lucas scored 10-plus points in both games, 5-plus rebounds in both games, and in at least one game scored 15-plus and 20-plus points, had 2-plus made 3-pointers, multiple steals and 2plus blocks.
