With more than half of the Big V season in the rear-view mirror, we look at each team’s statistical leaders.
The analysis reveals the significant contribution of the senior men’s three imports across the season, with Malik Colvin-Seldon’s shooting efficiency, Tiras Morton’s defensive work and Joe Davis’ reliability all significant cogs in the wheel.
Briahna Whatman’s addition has been important for the senior women, while Haille Nickerson is in the top five for all shooting and rebounding categories.
Stella O’Loughlin’s sharp shooting has been a feature for both the senior and youth league women.
She sits fourth in the league for two-point percentage in the senior women and eighth in the youth women despite having the fourth most shots in the league.
The feature of the youth men’s season has been its spread of contributors, with the stats reflecting that there has not been a clear standout.
Impressively, the undefeated team has four of the top 10 two-point shooters in the league, while the three Small brothers are Pakenham’s best three-point shooters.
