R1: NBL POTW Scottie Wilbekin

Scottie Wilbekin has won the first Player of the Week award for the 2014/15 Season by a landslide, taking out 53 per cent of the total fan votes with 511.

"Wilbuckets" was up against former NBL MVP Cedric Jackson who announced his Australian return by leading the Breakers to victory in Perth (151 votes) while Sydney's Josh Childress lived up to the hype in the NSW derby against the Wollongong Hawks (134 votes) on Saturday night.

The Cairns Taipans currently sit at the top of the ladder for claiming both wins on the road, the only team to go 2-0 in Round One and kick-starting their #NBL15 campaign.

Thoroughly deserved too.

Cairns fate rests largely with Wilbiken.

There were only around 1000 fan votes? Slightly disturbing for the health of the league I would have thought.

I agree, with shin.

They probably shouldn't have even published the number of votes if it was so small.

shin splints - it may say more about people's interest in the NBL web site than in the NBL itself.

Personally, I rarely visit the NBL web site other than to connect to live statistics for games. That was different a few years ago but the web site went rapidly downhill after Marc Howard (I think?) left. I gave up on regularly checking it at the end of that season.

What do others think?

Yes, I will try to find what I want using other means before resorting to the NBL site.

For the vote numbers, it's basically a rapidly shrinking funnel of people visiting the NBL site or following on social media, the subset of people that care enough to follow and then the subset that follow through in actually voting. The number of click throughs on social can be really, really low.

The NBL has 53,400 fans on Facebook, why not put the poll on there as well?
