Hodge named NBL POTW
scooby, you are right that it would be difficult for the NBL to determine that. They can only judge by numbers. In fairness of treating all players equally, perhaps the refs of each game can be asked to nominate a player who is worthy of a weekly award and the NBL chooses the player by a lottery system. This is in additi8on to the usual POTW award. Atleast the ones who play well but don't necessarily score points gets an opportunity to be recognised for that.

You could take the award one step further. It is intended to be won by a player who has had the most outstanding performances for the week, but its always won on points and rebounds. This takes away the opportunity for role players who play their role particularly well, but not necessarily in the role of scoring points. If a player's performance has enabled members of his team to score well, then he is equally as important to the scoring yet he will not be recognised for the award because he didn't actually put the ball through the hoop.

Goes to show that it is the Player of the Week award and not Team of the Week. Hodge's performance this last week was great despite the fact the team couldn't get any wins. Congratulations and well done to Hodge.

He is definately the premier player in the L.
The wins will follow for sure.
