Morehead State sophomore forward Londell King has been selected as the Ohio Valley Conference men's basketball Newcomer of the Week for Dec. 12-17.
King, a transfer who hails from Tallahassee, Fla., put together back-to-back 17-point, seven-rebound games as the Eagles defeated Kentucky Christian and Central Arkansas last week.
He was extremely solid when on the floor, shooting 73 percent (11-of-15) from the floor and hitting 91 percent (10-of-11) from the free throw line.
On the season, the 6-foot-7 forward is leading the team with 6.8 rebounds per game and scoring 8.8 points per outing to rank fourth on the squad. He has two double-doubles as well and is hitting 54 percent of his overall shots.
Morehead State next travels to Big East foe Butler for a Tuesday night matchup.
