DJ Mitchell 

The NBL1 North champion DJ Mitchell has arguably been the Brisbane Bullets' best player this season so far. Mitchell is averaging 10.5 points per game and had a massive performance against the Sydney Kings on Sunday.

He led the team in scoring with 20 points (3/4 from outside), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks. The 25-year-old has the aathleticism of an NBL star and if he continues his hot shooting, the Bullets may turn around their season.

Fabijan Krslovic

NW Tasmania star Fabijan Krslovic was crucial to the JackJumpers win against Melbourne United on Sunday. In the Semi-Finals rematch, Krslovic scored 13 points and repeatedly hit timely shots to keep Melbourne at arms length.
