Should The NBL Change The MVP Voting System?
Yeah, NBL refs voting is a bit of a dicey idea to me. Doesn't fill me with the type of confidence I have in AFL umpires to vote sensibly. And even they come up with some interesting ones (and yes I'm saying that as an Eagles fan too)

He wasn't 1 point better than Wilbekin, let alone 28, IMO. But I'll also admit that the Crocs weren't on the top of my must-watch teams list this season.

I'd like the system tweaked too.
I still maintain that Ennis was last season's MVP, but Rotnei was a worthy winner. A legit game-winner, on a playoff team. A guy opponents struggled to contain.
Conklin ... I dunno. Yeah he was a tough matchup, but so were 20 other guys around the league. I just can't picture too many coaches shitting themselves in the leadup to a Crocs match over how they were going to contain him.
I don't mean to knock him btw. He's a more than solid import and I'd be happy to retain him in the league. And I guess his win is also a symptom of a lack of other obvious candidates. Whereas last year James & Rotnei were both standout players.
But bottom line, I would like to see some kind of guidelines about how votes can be distributed to a losing side. On a game-by-game basis, opponents will naturally be respectful with their voting and happily dish out sympathy votes to a guy that did ok in a losing side. But when that happens to that guy all the time because his teammates are so ordinary, it adds up just a bit too much for my liking.
