UNLV forward Shakur Juiston has been named the Mountain West player of the week after averaging a double-double in a pair of victories over Mississippi Valley State and Northern Colorado.

He had 12 points and 10 rebounds in the 95-63 win over Mississippi State last Wednesday to average 21 points and 11 rebounds over the two games.
