League Reveals Molten BBL Team of the Year 2018-19

The league has revealed the Molten BBL Team of the year for the 2018-19 season, as voted for by BBL clubs.

Newcastle Eagles’ duo of Rahmon Fletcher and Victor Moses, along with the London Lions’ Justin Robinson, Plymouth Radiers’ do-it-all man Donte Nicholas and Manchester Giants’ Willie Clayton all make the cut, as in amongst them is the season’s MVP.

Rahmon Fletcher (Esh Group Eagles Newcastle)
No stranger to personal accolades during his BBL career, Fletcher has been scintillating once again in an Eagles vest. The playmaker has led the league in assists with a mesmerising 8.9 per game, as well as netting 16.7 points and grabbing an average of 2.7 boards and 1.6 steals.

Justin Robinson (London Lions)
Already featuring in the Molten BBL All-British Team of the Year, Robinson is also chasing back-to-back MVP awards after another blistering campaign with Lions. He has amassed a sparkling 19.2 points, 4.9 assists and 3.6 rebounds to help his team win a first league title and the BBL Cup.

Donte Nicholas (Plymouth Raiders)
The all-action style of Nicholas has had fans off their seats. He’s won Molten BBL Player of the Month three-times, led the league in steals, nailed down a place in the Molten BBL All-Defensive Team of the Year and served up 18.2 points, 9.9 rebounds and an amazing 7.31 assists per game.

Victor Moses (Esh Group Eagles Newcastle)
Despite missing some games this season, Moses has been so impressive that he still landed enough votes to claim his place. Some fantastic shooting has helped, netting almost 60% from the floor en-route to 17.7 points per game – as well as 7.9 boards.

Willie Clayton (Manchester Giants)
With a place on the Molten BBL All-Defensive Team of the Year bench already ticked off, Clayton adds another honour. He was sensational during his first year in the league, leading the BBL in rebounding with a record average of 15 per game and also shooting a stellar 61% on his way to 18 points per outing.

Off the bench: Conner Washington (Leicester Riders), Dirk Williams (DBL Sharks Sheffield), JR Holder (Leicester Riders), Ladarius Tabb (London Lions), Ashley Hamilton (London City Royals), Brandon Peel (London Lions), Matthew Bryan-Amaning (London City Royals).

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
