Sobey Named in All-NBL First Team

Bullets Guard Nathan Sobey was last night named in the All-NBL First Team at the annual NBL Awards. 

Sobey, who won the club's MVP Award the night prior, joined Bryce Cotton (Perth), Tyler Harvey (Illawarra), John Mooney (Perth) and Jock Landale (Melbourne) in the classy line-up. 

On the night, Cotton took home his third Andrew Gaze trophy as the MVP of the League for NBL21. Sobey was nominated for the award but could not knock Cotton off the perch with the Wildcats star polling 112 votes, with Harvey (74) in second place and Sobey (55) coming in third.
