Best of some solid options this season.
Bryce Cotton (Perth) - 88 votes
Scott Machado (Cairns) – 80 votes
Lamar Patterson (Brisbane) – 73 votes
Very well spoken, and modest for a two time MVP.
Sounds like he would fit into the Boomers culture

Congrats, Bryce.
I thought he was the right choice but wouldn't have been angry with Machado.
How can you not love this man. Should be naturalized purely based on his character who cares about his basketball skills.

Well deserved by Cotton.
Could've gone to Machado, Patterson or Hopson but Cotton #1 for mine
No arguments here, top three earned it in that order.

Congrats to Cotton I thought Machado deserved it but good to hear he had a classy speech.

This is the first time they got 1,2 and 3 bang on right.

I'm not gloating, but I couldn't rally understand those who didn't have this locked in. He has dominated this season, and in some games has literally carried the Cats across the line.
Machado has had a great season, but I don't think he has carried his team to the extent Cotton has at times.

No arguments. As good a year as Machado has had, Cotton has been an alien this year.

Cotton well deserved...2nd and 3rd spot on as well.
Well done, nice season. Boomers this year maybe?
If you noticed during the awards, after Cotton said he'd know in a "few months". It then cuts to the wildcats table and a certain GM in laughing hard.
Could he have been laughing at the fact cotton had his poker face on with that statement?

Cotton could be on his way to becoming one of the goats of the NBL. MVP twice in 3 seasons, and only missed last year through injury.
And I would certainly take him to Tokyo ahead of Sobey and Gliddon.
But if we have a full NBA compliment, I'm not sure there's a need.

Are you suggesting that we don't have an impartial immigration and naturalisation service in Australia?
Au paire?
Au contraire?

What guards do we have that would keep Cotton out? I would have thought as a scoring option only Mills would be ahead of him?
I'd take Goulding ahead of him, mainly based on his decent play in recent tournaments.
