Season Notes: There was no question who the best team was this season and who their best player was. Chu came into his own this summer, not just putting up ridiculous numbers, but leading a veteran team. When the Panthers needed him most, he always came up big, lifting SXP to a 2nd straight title in his best game from an all-time season.
Runner-up: (G/F) Jin Bae Kim (TAP) 16 ppg, 44% FGs, 9.8 rpg, 1.8 apg, 2.6 spg, 1 bpg
Position: G/F Seasons: 5
Wat Misaka Defensive Most Outstanding Player
JIN BAE KIM (TAP NY)
Statistics: 9.8 rpg, 2.6 spg, 1 bpg, 1.2 fpg
Season Notes: It often felt like Kim was everywhere at once on the court. His length and athleticism are rare in D2, and he used it to change games defensively, whether one-on-one or prowling the passing lanes. And his biggest asset was turning defense into easy baskets the other way.
Season Notes: After a modest spring season, Ryhija let it all hang out this season, leading Teal Curtain in rebounds and blocks. He was one of D2’s top help defenders and played as physical in the paint as anyone in the league all season.
Runner-up: (C) Kevin Wong (NFZ) 7 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 3.2 apg, 2.8 spg, 1 bpg
Season Notes: Few players were as exciting to watch this summer as Tsao, perhaps the new title holder as fastest end-to-end player in 2nd Division. But it wasn’t just layups, when Tsao had the jumper going, he was flat out impossible to guard.
