Callum Jenkins (Central Coast Crusaders) 

The East produced just as much excitement on the men’s side as Callum Jenkins scored 42 points with 18 rebounds in their win over the Bankstown Bruins. 

NBL1 North:

Amanda Cahill (Ipswich Force)

The Ipswich Force went 2-0 this weekend, thanks to Amanda Cahill’s stellar Round 15. She averaged 25 points, six assists and three steals. The Force is only a couple of wins and losses outside the NBL1 North women’s ladder so this final round will be crucial for Ipswich. 

Jason Cadee (Gold Coast Rollers)  

Gold Coast Rollers superstar Jason Cadee, who in the win against Logan on Saturday had an absurd 43 points, 10 assists and shot 89 percent from the field (17/19). 

NBL1 South: 

Cassidy McLean (Bendigo Braves)

Without her two Opals teammates, Cassidy McLean stepped up significantly to help Bendigo keep collecting wins going into the South finals. McLean had 26 points and seven rebounds against Mount Gambier.

Nick Marshall (Mount Gambier)

The Pioneers remain second on the NBL1 South ladder after a 2-0 weekend against the Bendigo Braves and the Geelong Supercats. The star over Round 15 was Nick Marshall who averaged 27.5 points and 7 rebounds. 

NBL1 Central: 

Tayla Corrigan (North Adelaide Rockets)

In the Rockets' win over Central District Lions Tayla Corrigan had a supercharged double-double of 24 points and 26 rebounds! 

Nate Sheppard (West Adelaide Bearcats)

In West Adelaide’s massive win over the Eastern Mavericks Sheppard scored 41 points with five rebounds and shot 6/11 from outside! The American import averages over 21 points per game for the Bearcats. 

NBL1 West: 

Stacey Barr (Warwick Senators) 

The Warick Senators look like one of the only teams who can rival the Joondalup Wolves. The Senators went 2-0 this weekend with Stacey Barr carrying the team with an average of 30.5 points, 7 rebounds and 5.5 assists in Round 16. 

She could be heading for a second MVP and tonight showed why with Stacey Barr putting up
