Rodney Bartholomew of the Tulsa 66ers was today named NBA Development League Performer of the Week for games played Monday, Jan. 13 – Sunday, Jan. 19.

Bartholomew, a 6-8, 235-pound forward from Indiana Tech led Tulsa to a 2-0 record last week, including back-to-back road wins over the Bakersfield Jam and Los Angeles D-Fenders.  For the week, he averaged an NBA D-League best 32.0 points (on 68-percent shooting from the floor) to go with 16.0 rebounds. 

On Jan. 18, Bartholomew scored 32 points and grabbed 17 rebounds helping the 66ers to a 114-110 win.  The next night, he finished with 32 points and 15 rebounds in a 128-112 win over the D-Fenders.  With the two games, Bartholomew became the first player in 66ers history to record 30 or more points and 15 or more rebounds in back-to-back games. 

The honor is the first for Bartholomew, who is averaging 11.2 points and 7.9 rebounds this season.
