Patty Mills NBL MVP
As ive said before..
The problem with Patty is he thinks he is a better shooter than he really is.
The kid has the best form in the league and IMHO one of the nicest techniques ive ever seen.
But in terms of putting the ball in the hoop, he struggles to shoot good %'s and if I was Ubaka I would be slightly angry that Patty is taking a lot of shots that he could easily convert.

lol all good Aussieboomers4eva.
I am just being harsh of Mills as everyone has talked him up like he is the greatest thing to ever happen to this league and yet most of his overall performances have been pretty average.
Gary Wilkinson is in with a shot at MVP but he won't get it, too many good players next to him to steal votes. At this stage Lisch is the guy who's playing like he wants it and if he keeps it up he'll deserve it.

First half of the Tigers v Hawks game saw minimal looks for Patty and the Tigers were dreadful, probably worse than the Sixers had been. Second half Patty takes over and gets the Tigers a pretty comfortable W. I know its one game but I think that proves Patty's worth to the Tigers.
Considering that the Tigers are 3-1, with their only loss to Perth in Perth and having wins against New Zealand and Wollongong in Wollongong I think average is a little harsh.
As for MVP, Khazzouh should be in the mix, however his team proably won't end up getting the wins required for him to have a real shot. Wilkinson and Ced Jackson have been good for the league best Breakers and Lisch (bar the Adelaide game) has been the best so far.
I'm quite enjoying the NBL this year, reasonably balanced talent, each team has players that are good to watch and I'm loving Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights!

Aussieboomers4eva: so you are saying that CJ's getting POTW this week?
Breakers played horrible in Melbourne and still were in with a chance of winning it, Hawks were up by miles when I went to bed and should have closed it out. When Melbourne signed Mills everyone was thinking that they will be unstoppable and yet they are average as in fact I think they would win more games without Mills. In saying that he will win MVP as everyone seems to love kissing his ass.

...Yeah....
He's been playing well, but not exactly at the "He's in the NBA and everyone else isn't" level I'd be expecting him to.
Personally I think he's in a race with Cedric Jackson and Kevin Lisch right now. Screw what the "POTW" results say.

if they are only taking votes from the National Society of Bricklayers in Australia, then yes he is a shoe in ;)
