As a voter for the Pac-12 Players of the Week, my choices may occasionally differ from the official selections.

Either way, I want to share my picks and give brief explanations of why I voted the way I did for the Freshman and Player of the Week.

My tweeted picks and summaries appear below.

I voted for Boogie Ellis as the Pac-12 Player of the Week.

I voted for Jordan Pope as the Pac-12 Freshman of the Week. Can guarantee he wins the award based on the other nominations. It should be a unanimous selection.

Player of the Week — Boogie Ellis, USC

My vote for Player of the Week came down to Boogie Ellis and Kerr Kriisa. I gave the nod to Ellis due to his career-high 31 points against then-No. 8 UCLA.

Not only did the USC star have a career-high in points, but he also tallied six assists and zero turnovers. The victory kept the Trojans in contention for an At-Large bid to the NCAA Tournament and deserves recognition.

Kriisa had a strong road trip in the State of Washington, but the performance against a Top 10 Bruin team was more impactful.
