Boise, ID (January 23, 2006) - The Continental Basketball Association announced today that Rockford Lightning guard Marlon Parmer has been named the CBA Player of the Week for the week of Jan. 16 through Jan. 23. Parmer helped lead the Lightning to a 2-0 record last week while also playing in the 22nd CBA All-Star game in Boise, Idaho.
Parmer ended the week with 23.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 11.0 assists and 2.5 steals per game for Rockford, who defeated Idaho (137-116) on Jan. 19 and Michigan (120-99) on Jan. 21. In the victory over Idaho, Parmer dished out a career-high 17 assists, second-most in the CBA this season. He also contributed 14 points, six rebounds, and a steal. Against Michigan, Parmer tallied 32 points to go with six rebounds, five assists and four steals. His 32-point effort was his fourth 30-or-more showing this season, including a career-high 45 points on Jan. 12 vs. Dakota.
Also last week, Parmer competed for the Eastern Conference in the CBA All-Star Classic in Boise, Idaho. Parmer, who was making his second consecutive appearance in the All-Star game, finished with 10 points and a team-high 11 assists in 32 minutes of action for the Eastern squad.
The 6-foot-3, 187-pound guard out of Kentucky Weslyan has seven double-doubles this year, with one of two triple-doubles in the CBA this season (Dec. 18 vs. Michigan). He is among the CBA's leaders in scoring (4th, 22.3 ppg.), assists (2nd, 7.6 pg.), and steals (8th, 1.7 pg.).
