Batkovic wins sixth WNBL MVP award
Suzy Batkovic has strengthened her claim as the WNBL's greatest player of all time with the JCU Townsville Fire centre winning the 2017/18 Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.
Voted by referees and coaches at the conclusion of each game through the regular season, Batkovic earned 117 votes out of a maximum of 189 and finished 13 votes clear of second-placed Liz Cambage thanks to an incredibly consistent campaign.
"It’s obviously a great honour," said Batkovic.
“Townsville have had a great culture for a number of years so I just try to maintain that and I have got great team mates around me that do the same.”
