BBL All-British Team of the Year named

The 2020-21 Molten BBL All-British Team of the Year has been named, as voted for by BBL Head Coaches.

Justin Robinson, Conner Washington, Ashley Hamilton, Jordan Williams, and David Ulph complete the five, who all received at least double the number of votes of any player who didn’t make it.

Robinson averaged 13 points and 5 assists per game, shooting a career-high 47% from beyond the arc, as he helped the Lions to the BBL Trophy, adapting to a new role with a stacked roster for his third consecutive All-British team appearance.

Washington makes his fourth appearance in the All-British team (third all-time), but first since 2016-17, averaging 10 points and 4 assists, whilst being amongst the best shooters in the league to help Leicester to the league title.

In his first season with the Raiders, Hamilton took on the captaincy and has already led Plymouth to a third-place finish in the BBL Championship, a BBL Trophy Final and the highest number of wins in the club’s history. He averaged 16 points, seven rebounds and two assists, for his second All-British team award.

The youngest player to make the team and with his first appearance, Williams has played the fourth most minutes per game (34) of any BBL player, led the league in defensive rebounding (7.6) and was second in total rebounds per game (9.2), while averaging 13 points. In the rare style of a modern ‘point forward’, the 6’8″ big man was also, amazingly, eighth in the BBL in assists per game (5.1).

It’s been a breakout season for 6’7″ David Ulph, having stepped up through National Basketball League Divisions 1 and 2 representing North West teams such as Liverpool. Ulph led the league in field goal percentage (64.9%) and rebounds per game (9.2), while averaging 11 points per outing as Giants fell just short of the Play-offs and made a BBL Cup semi-final.

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.
