    VALENCIA (2010 FIBA World Championship) - France guard Nando de Colo was named player of the week in Spain's ACB after a breakout performance on Saturday.

    The 22-year-old playmaker scored 29 points in 29 minutes of play to lead Power Electronics Valencia to an 87-67 win over CB Granada.

    With the win, Neven Spahija's side improve to 14-7 to lie in fourth place behind Regal F.C Barcelona, Caja Laboral and Real Madrid.

    De Colo made eight of 10 field goal attempts from two-point range, buried three of four tries from three-point territory and sank all four of his free-throws and displayed the full extent of his versatility by adding five assists, three rebounds and three steals.

    The 6ft 5in guard, a key player off France's bench at last year's EuroBasket tournament in Poland, is averaging 12.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 19 games so far this season.
