We are at the midway point of the 2019/20 NBL season and this week's edition of Hoops Heaven's Basketball Hustle takes stock of what we've seen so far in #NBL20, offers our mid-season award winners and predictions for the rest of the campaign and much more.
Co-hosts NBL writer Chris Pike and Perth Wildcats legend Shawn Redhage open up this week's show dissecting the opening match of Round 11 between the Cairns Taipans and Perth Wildcats.
It's then time to talk about some of the big NBL news right now including Shawn providing his thoughts on the Cairns Taipans, Perth Wildcats, Sydney Kings, Glen Rice Jr and the New Zealand Breakers, if we've seen the last of LaMelo Ball and RJ Hampton in the NBL and plenty more. A potential NBL trade availability is also a hot topic.
Then it's time for the mid-season recap where the hosts talk about who they expect to go on to win the championship, reach the Grand Final and make the top four. They also nominate their award winners after 10 rounds including MVP, All-First and Second NBL Teams, Coach of the Year, Best Defensive Player, Best Sixth Man, Best Next Star, Most Improved and even most disappointing.
There's then a discussion of the 400 and 300-game milestones of Trevor Gleeson and Damian Martin as well as a full preview of the rest of Round 11 in the NBL.
