Kai Sotto claims NBL Fans' Most Valuable Player award

An impressive season by Kai Sotto for the Adelaide 36ers has been capped off with the Philippine prospect voted the NBL Fans' Most Valuable Player.

Still a few weeks shy of his 20th birthday, the 2.18-meter center averaged 7.52 points and 4.48 rebounds from 23 games.

His breakout performance arrived earlier in the month, when he scored a career-high 21 points from 17:34 minutes off the bench in a 93-85 loss to the Brisbane Bullets.

Unfortunately, it was ultimately to be a disappointing season for the 36ers as they missed out on the finals after finishing the regular season 6th in the ten-team competition with a 10-18 record.
