Cat Carr becomes first two-time WBBL league MVP
Cat Carr has become the first player to claim the WBBL’s Player of the Season award for a second time.
The Sevenoaks Suns star topped the voting from coaches around the league having also been the MVP for the 2017-18 season.
Carr had another impressive year to lead her side to a third straight league title with just one defeat during the Regular Season.
The ever-present in the WBBL averaged 18.8 points, 8.8 rebounds and 7.2 assists in the league to rank amongst the top 10 in each category.
Carr recorded two triple-doubles in a 12-game stretch in April as the Suns made up ground in a busy schedule to add to their collection of silverware.
Only once was Carr held to single figures in scoring in 20 league games, whilst netting a personal best of 29 points against Essex Rebels in March – one of 10 games with at least 20 points.
Carr received seven of the 10 first-place votes with London Lions’ Kennedy Leonard second in the official voting, though was named Player of the Year by the media in the annual BJA awards.
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.
