Second team would be difficult.

Long way to go yet, I'll wait and see how season pans out.

Cooks, Pinder and Creek Can't all make it.

2 Bigs 3 Smalls

As it is 2 bigs and 3 smalls, I'd go

Cooks
Pinder (but very hard to pick against Creek)
Doyle
Walton Jr
Cotton

Time for an All NBL 3rd team too and All NBL defensive team (the more awards we can give out the better in my eyes with a view on how those players are seen overseas).

But my All NBL first team is

Pinder, Cooks, Hogg, Cotton, McDowell-White

All NBL 2nd team is

Williams, Creek, Doyle, Barry Brown Jr, Walton Jr.

All NBL 3rd team

Pardon, McVeigh, Rathan-Mayes, Harvey, Scott

Considerations - Adelaide players are so inconsistent, Sobey is getting a little healthier, Tucker is getting better, Gary Browne has shown glimpses of being a star as has Trey Kell and Jarrell Brantley should be feeling very left out as he has been awesome

Disappointing NBL team so far

Baynes (understandable why he hasn't been league MVP calibre but we'd still love to all see it), Sam Froling (needs to dominate the league for his team to compete and can), Broekhoff (and Abercrombie due to injury), McCall (makes too many errors) and Justin Robinson (injury when I was so excited to see him and Payton Siva (does a lot of team related things but just doesn't influence a game enough

Sam Froling, a 22-year-old producing some awesome games, has not been disappointing!

1st: Pinder, Cooks, Creek, Brown, Cotton

2nd: Williams, Brantley, Cleveland, Doyle, Walton

*Yes I know the NBL now assigns players inside and outside and dictates 2-3, which restricts voters. It should just be a minimum of two bigs and minimum of two guards if they want to ensure balance in the team

"Cooks, Pinder and Creek Can't all make it.

2 Bigs 3 Smalls"

At 195cm, Creek is small.

I'm a massive Sam Froling fan and yes being only 22 should come into play but he is too nice, he should be demanding the ball as he is every bit the best player at Illawarra now and yet we see him go into his shell a little too much.

I hope next season he gets more support as it's embarrassing watching how inept Illawarra look at certain stages of games, and yet they can look as good as anyone at times too.

MrBlurter your comment tells me you actually don't understand basketball

"MrBlurter your comment tells me you actually don't understand basketball"

You go with that.

He trialed in the NBA as a SG, he was put into the 4 spot under to make numbers.

"I'm a massive Sam Froling fan and yes being only 22 should come into play but he is too nice, he should be demanding the ball as he is every bit the best player at Illawarra now and yet we see him go into his shell a little too much."

There is definitely truth to this, but it's part of his development as a player, which takes time and is going well. Which 22 year olds and under in the NBL are better than Sam right now?

@anonymightymouse

That is a tremendous question regarding the best player at his age in the NBL... I guess I'm just scared that Sam will be Harry in a couple of years and nobody wants to see that.

Harry himself would have had so much more opportunity had he stayed with the Hawks this season

Yeah it's been sad to see Harry regress after such a promising start.

Did the Hawks want Harry to stay? It seemed like Brisbane was his only option
