In his fifth and final season as the man in the middle for the Timberwolves, Spencer Ledoux has turned into one of the most reliable post scorers in the entire conference. The Kamloops big man is scoring at a near-60 percent rate, yet again, but has seen an uptick in his defensive performance as well. Ledoux is averaging career highs in rebounds and blocks, while playing 30 minutes per game for Todd Jordan's TWolves.
MacEwan Griffins (0-4)
17th in CW Standings
71.3 Points Scored Per Game (17th)
86.8 Points Allowed Per Game (15th)
Scoring Leader: Matthew Osunde (16.5 Per Game)
Rebounding Leader: Milan Jaksic (10.0 Per Game)
Assists Leader: Matthew Osunde (4.0 Per Game)

Blocks Leader: Damilola Osuma, Daniel Garner (0.5 Per Game)
Player To Watch: Milan Jaksic, F
11.5 PPG, 10.0 RPG, 1.0 APG, 2.0 SPG
In his third year as a starter for the Griffins, Jaksic has seen an uptick in his minutes, scoring, rebounding, and steals per game. A six-foot-five forward from Windsor, Ontario, he is crucial to Mike Connolly's gameplan for a young MacEwan program. A willing scorer, the Timberwolves will need to pay attention to him early on, to make sure Jaksic doesn't get into an offensive rhythm.
