Every Club's NBL24 MVP winner

Although the NBL MVP night was held on Monday, February 19, award season has continued around the competition in the ramping up towards Finals.

As the number of clubs in contention for this season's title begin to fall away, teams are beginning to reflect on the season that was, while others are casting one eye back on the regular season before leaping into a post-season campaign.

Keep track of every club's major award winners below.  

MVP (Mark Davis Trophy) – Isaac Humphries
Chairman’s Award – Scott Ninnis
Members’ Choice MVP – DJ Vasiljevic
Best Defensive Player – Sunday Dech
Most Improved Player – Kyrin Galloway
Coaches Award – Jason Cadee
Hall of Fame inductee – Peter Ali

Isaac Humphries has marked his return season to Adelaide by being awarded the Mark Davis Trophy as the club’s MVP.

Davis – whose name is borne on the award – represented the 36ers between 1985 and 2001. He retired as a three-time NBL champion (1986, 1998, 1999), a Larry Sengstock Medal winner (1986) and an NBL MVP (1987)

Humphries’ late-season form saw him catapulted into All-NBL calculations, and Scott Ninnis labelled the star center’s omission from the nominated sides as “disgraceful”.

The former Atlanta Hawk returned to Adelaide ahead of NBL24 after a season with Melbourne United, and he averaged an NBL career-high 15.7 points per game across 28 appearances.

MVP (Leroy Loggins Trophy) - Nathan Sobey
HABITS Player of the Year - Mitch Norton
Defensive Player of the Year - Sam McDaniel
Youth Player of the Year - Josh Bannan
Most Memorable Moment - Chris Smith

Nathan Sobey has been recognised for his resurgent NBL24 by being named the Brisbane Bullets' MVP, in addition to his place in the All-NBL Second Team.

The 33-year-old guard thrived in Justin Schueller's first season in charge, and averaged over 20 points per game for just the second time in his career, and the first time since his MVP-candidate season of NBL21.

While he was announced as Brisbane's top player on Thursday, March 28, reports of Sobey's impending departure to the South East Melbourne Phoenix next season hit the news cycle just the following morning.

Players’ Player – Patrick Miller
Coaches Award – Lat Mayen
Commitment to Community Award – Alex Mudronja
Club Person of the Year – Karen Mounsey

Patrick Miller has capped a stellar debut NBL season with the Cairns Taipans, by taking out the club’s MVP award.

Miller asserted he’s excited to see what his future in the NBL holds after the Taipans’ Round 20 win over Melbourne United after he arrived at the club on a one-year deal in NBL24 pre-season.

The point guard established himself as a multi-level offensive threat over the course of the season and led the Taipans in both points and assists, and only Josh Roberts, AK Gak and Lat Mayen shot a better field goal percentage for the team this season.

Members’ Choice MVP – Gary Clark

Gary Clark has added to his rapidly growing NBL trophy cabinet by being named the Illawarra Hawks’ MVP and Members’ Choice MVP.

The award wins have come after Clark was named into the All-NBL First Team at the recent NBL MVP night for his exceptional performances that have helped lead the Hawks to a fourth-place finish and Seeding Qualifier clash.

The former NBA mainstay averaged a team-high 16.3 points per game, and was one of just four Hawks to appear in all 28 of the side’s regular season games.

MVP - Chris Goulding
Defensive Player of the Year - Shea Ili
SHARE Award (player-voted) - Matthew Dellavedova
Vince Crivelli Club Person of the Year - Steve McAdam

Chris Goulding capped off an outstanding individual season, in which he was awarded his third All-NBL First Team jersey, by winning his second straight club MVP.

Goulding averaged 16.9 points across 36 appearances, including registering 140 three-pointers, more than any other player in the 40-minute era. 

Ili complemented his league Best Defensive Player Award with the same recognition from his club.

MVP – Parker Jackson-Cartwright
Members’ Choice Award – Anthony Lamb
Defensive Player of the Year – Izayah Le’Afa
Clubman Award – Tom Abercrombie
Fans Memorable Moment – Tom Abercrombie
Blackwell Community Cup - BNZ

Parker Jackson-Cartwright has added to his All-NBL First Team nomination and third-placed NBL MVP finish by being named New Zealand’s MVP for the NBL24 campaign.

The diminutive guard was a mainstay for a Breakers side that saw most if its stars beset by injury over the course of the season, and he averaged a team-high 20.5 points per game after appearing in all 28 regular season fixtures.

Jackson-Cartwright also led the team in assists (5.7) and steals (1.9) per game.

MVP (Gordon Ellis Medal) – Bryce Cotton
Best Defensive Player (Andrew Vlahov Medal) – Kristian Doolittle
Most Improved Player – Hyrum Harris
Players’ Player (Eric Watterson Medal) – Bryce Cotton
Coaches Award – Kyle Zunic

Bryce Cotton’s Gordon Ellis Medal win has saw him take home another slice of NBL history. His sixth Wildcats MVP award is the most of any player in the history of the club alongside Ricky Grace and Shawn Redhage.

Ellis – whose name is borne on the award – was a crucial player in Perth’s eventual inclusion into the NBL in 1982 as the Westate Wildcats, before the club was renamed the Perth Wildcats in 1984.

Cotton won his record-breaking fourth NBL MVP award this season ahead of Melbourne’s Chris Goulding and New Zealand’s Parker Jackson-Cartwright.

He averaged a league-leading 23.1 points per game, and played in every contest across the campaign bar the regular season closer against Tasmania.

He was also named Players’ Player of the Year.

MVP - Mitch Creek
Community Player of the Year - Owen Foxwell

Mitch Creek has continued his run of being the only South East Melbourne player to be named the club's MVP in its history, and took out a historic fifth win from the Phoenix's rocky NBL24 campaign.

The star forward was also named to the All-NBL Second Team for his efforts, in a season where he was hit by injuries later in the campaign.

MVP - Jaylen Adams
Michael Wrublewski Coaches' Award - Alex Toohey
Players' Player-  Jaylen Adams
Defensive Player of the Year - Jordan Hunter
Hard Yakka Hard Work Award - Shaun Bruce
Laurie Watterson Club Person of the Year - Michael Johnstone, Katrina Lindner, Courtney Ward

Former NBL MVP Jaylen Adams marked his return to the Sydney Kings in NBL24 by taking out the club's MVP award.

The import guard averaged 19.4 points, 5.3 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game across 29 appearances across the campaign, and registered a team-high 18 points and five assists in Sydney's Play-In Qualifier defeat to New Zealand.

He was also named Players' Player of the Year.

Next Star Alex Toohey capped off an impressive rookie NBL season by being named the coaches' award winner. Toohey's strong form found him in a number of 2024 NBA mock drafts through the middle of the campaign, and he is currently ranked 48th in ESPN's 2025 mock.

Jordan Hunter capped off an impressive season as the team's starting center by being named Defensive Player of the Year, while veteran Shaun Bruce rounded out the Kings' award winners.

MVP - Jack McVeigh
Fan Favourite Award - Milton Doyle
Defensive Player of the Year - Will Magnay
Players' Award - Will Magnay
Coaches' Award - Jarred Bairstow

NBL24 could well be reflected on as the year of Jack McVeigh, and the NBL champions, Larry Sengstock Trophy winner and All-NBL Second Team nominee has added to his rapidly expanding trophy collection with his first JackJumpers MVP award.

The star forward led his side in points per game this past season with 17.3 per game and stood up to hit multiple game-winning shots across the campaign as he established himself as one of the go-to clutch performers in the competition.

Will Magnay was named the team's Defensive Player of the Year, and was also recognised by his peers with the Players' Award, while Milton Doyle continued his special relationship with the club's fans and was awarded the Fan Favourite Award.

Jarred Bairstow was named the winner of the Coaches Award.
