Congratulations to Nick Kay and Bryce Cotton on selection into the All-NBL First Team, which was well deserved, while it was unfortunate that Bryce wasn’t rewarded with the MVP honours for the season. As I said to him, a Grand Final MVP and championship sounds that much better.
While the season has been fun, this is when you really start to get to enjoy it; those hours in the off-season working on your craft are for these moments.
