We've got one more game to go, but since official games are over, time for our end of the season awards!
MVP
Chua How Feng: 2nd in points scored, 1st in rebounds, 2nd in assists. There's no other player who can offer an all-round game like our star player Chua How Feng. He was already one of the top players of the team at 19, and he just kept getting better. Look forward to see him flourish at NT level in the future.
DPOY
Png Rong: 2.5 blocks per game isn't exactly impressive, however given that he has only started 4 games, it is one helluva achievement - he actually has 4.52 blocks per 36 minutes. He even managed a block in his first defensive possession tonight, showing that he is still no slouch on defense despite not being in form.
6th Man of the Year
Fong Kum Hui: 9 of 18 players actually qualified for this award, but in the end, I decided to go for Fong Kum Hui. He has put in some pretty consistent performances as a sub, and game me insurance from 1 through 5. He's good enough to occasionally break into the starting lineup, but as he is a Jack of All Trades, we often see better specialists make it ahead of him. His highlight was during his debut against Japan U21, where he hit 17 points in 14 minutes, shooting 60% from the field and from 3.
Most improved player
Ethan bin Intiang: I certainly didn't expect him to be any more than a bit part player as he was literally a Tyrese Haliburton, however his dedication to his craft saw him develop into a reliable offensive player, earning him 7 consecutive starts midway through the season. He would have started tonight (and I wish he could), however alas, other players had better game shape.
Newbie of the Year
Nathan Macklin: called up due to our GS crisis, Nathan Macklin was a great surprise. He fit into the team seamlessly and hit the ground running. Averaging 12.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 2.1 assists, he scored double figures in all but 2 games he played in, and even hit two double-doubles. Can we expect him to carry the team next season?
Mr. Reliable
Ang An Da: 12 appearances, 11 starts. Where else can you find a more reliable player than him? In fact he would like likely started had newcomer Tan Yeng Shi was not in hot form. Still, he put up a performance worthy of a starter.
Stowaway Award
Abdur-Razzaq Jalil: It might sound like a negative award, but I created this award for players with the most DNPs. I don't really have a habit of playing more players than necessary, but the meticulous training and game shape management by his manager made me feel that he deserves a bit of monetary incentive - so I decided to put him on the game squad as an unused sub for every game where he hits proficient GS as an encouragement (well it's just a few hundred dollars extra, but still I hope it's better than nothing xD). He wasn't on the game squad today because we just had too many players with good GS.
