Big Man of the Month, season-to-date:

Brook Lopez: 17/4/1/0/9 versus Suns


Lopez does not technically qualify for Honorable Mention, under the completely arbitrary rules for this thread, that I made up. But I'm going to make an exception, because 9 blocks.

Honorable Mention:

It strikes me as hilarious to imagine that Andre Drummond was really feeling himself when he went into the locker room, after the game... Like he was bragging to his teammates, "Man, I know that Mister Slim is going to give me Big Man of the Night!"

Imagine throwing up 31/19/4, and only objectively being the second-best big man of the night!
