Batkovic wins fifth WNBL MVP award

What were her stats this season? To be honest, I'm only a casual observer, but I thought Suzy had retired already.

Winning 5 of 6: If the trophy isn't named after a player then she's making a case for it to be named in her honour.

I'm not 100% certain whether MVP votes correlate directly to all star 5 selection, but if that is the case I'd say Taylor got the nod over Blicavs potentially due to a higher number of 3 vote games - essentially assuming Taylor had more games that she had been voted best player on the day.

Thought all star five was picked by votes, of so they finished on equal votes

So if they had an equal fifth place why was Blocked cabs not named?

I'm not 100% certain, but I think the selection process for the All Star 5 is different to that of the MVP.

Well deserved for Suzy, clearly the best big in the league .... Joyce couldn't pick a decent Ayer if his life depended on it and suzys dominance over Burton shows it

5 out of 6 is some serious dominance, yeah!

Oh wow 5 out of the last 6! What an achievement for Suzy, congratulations to her!! I agree there were probably a few players from the Lynx 'taking' votes from Sami, though both Sami and Suzy had incredible seasons so congratulations to them both. If only we could have a joint MVP, I think that would be fitting for both of them.

I think the only thing that cost Sami this award is how well Carley Mijovic played for much of the season. But it is what it is. Suzy had a very good season too and certainly had some good numbers, so congrats to her.

Back with another travelling or not question!

Going in for a right hand lay-up on the right side. Player dribble steps with their left and then lands in a jump stop before finishing-

Travel or not.

The dribble step is step one and the jump stop is step 2 so technically not a travel?
