The rookie class this season is just brilliant, and possibly the deepest we've had in ages. Froling has had some massive games recently but there's also consistent performances from Illawarra's Grida and Naar. If they step up even more, there might be a bit of contention for the award. Wilson, McVeigh and the like haven't had as big of an impact but there's time for good performances from many of them as well. Future of the NBL in good hands.


Randle
Cotton
Patterson
Kay
Bogut
Rookie of the year: Froling, if he doesn't get knocked out by an actual hard man like Wesley before the year is over.
Coach of the year: Trev
Man of the year: Trev



If you take into account who Trimble, Ware and Randles teammates are, you're getting a false representation of Randle and Ware being 2-way players. Trimble actually averages more steals than Cotton, Ware and Randle. You can't expect him to take on the entire offensive load as well as provide the defensive spark. If Trimble had hustle players around him like Cotton and Ware do then it would look much better for him. And I would never call Randle a 2-way player. Randle and Cotton have Martin and Lisch next to them to make them look better.

"Gleeson for Coach of the Year is the only guarantee at this stage"
Trev is surely NBA bound soon.

COTY: Gleeson
DPOTY: Bogut
MVP: Cotton
MIP: TeRangi
1st team:
Ware
Cotton
Wiley
Kay
Bogut

I'll have a crack at all NBL at this stage of the year, basing it on individual performance only.
1st team
PG: Trimble
SG: Cotton
SF: Blanchfield
PF: Kay
C: Bogut
PG and SF prob the toughest to pick with Ware, Randle and Kennedy available too. If Johnson wasn't playing C then would also be close with Kay for that PF spot.
