For the second time this year, Jordan Reed has been named America East Rookie of the Week, the conference announced on Monday.

The freshman, who first earned the honor on Nov. 19, averaged 20.5 points and nine rebounds in losses to Monmouth University and Bryant University last week. Even after posting a season-low 15 points on 5-of-13 shooting against the Bulldogs, the 6-foot-4-inch guard still leads the America East in scoring (18.3 ppg). He also sits atop the conference in rebounding, averaging 10 boards per game.

According to head coach Tommy Dempsey, Reed will have to learn to adjust as opponents begin to focus their efforts on stopping him. But developing an ability to adjust likely won’t happen instantly, as talented as Reed may be.

“He’s going to have some frustrating nights because … I think a lot of the scouting reports will be designed to frustrate him,” Dempsey said. “And he’s a freshman — that’s a lot to put on a young guy.”

Nonetheless, Reed has established himself as one of the early favorites for America East Rookie of the Year. Jameel Warney of Stony Brook University and ESPN Top 100 recruit Maurice Watson Jr. of Boston University will likely stand as Reed’s main competitors for the award.
