SuperCoach NBL: Defining Moments (Round 1, NBL25)

SuperCoach NBL is back for its second year, and this time around it’s bigger than ever!

With a fresh new look, improved game navigation and app experience, registrations are now open for NBL25.

This year, we've teamed up with our friends at The Basketball Blokes to provide you all the information you need to know to pick your team, navigate the schedule and maximise your scoring. 

Every week throughout the Hungry Jack's NBL25 Season, the boys will be highlighting the key moments for individual players, to help you consider the make-up of your team, consider your trades and put yourself in the best position to achieve the highest score of the round, and potentially grab $1,000 cash.

The player: Chris Goulding (G/F) UTD $268,000
The moment: The moment for Goulding was that while the NBL25 season was tipping off at HoopsFest, he remained on the bench. It had been reported in commentary that he voluntarily offered to do this, having missed the last match with illness and not being 100 per well for this game. Goulding then had another moment when he rolled his ankle and was still hobbled throughout the game. The only moment he looked himself was when he hit a trademark three-point shot in the last minute, keeping his three-point made streak to 66 games; and salvaging a final 3 SuperCoach points to total a disappointing 8 SuperCoach points for the game. 

The player: Will Magnay (F/C) TAS $317,400
The moment: There were two moments that mattered regarding Will Magnay that stopped him having a massive SuperCoach performance this round (and potentially next). The first occurred at the midway point of the third quarter when he picked up his fourth personal foul and had to sit for the remainder of the period. The latter moment occurred when Magnay looked to have picked up a potential concussion late in the fourth quarter. He did not return and was unable to add to his SuperCoach score of 29. Keep an eye out on updates to see if you need to trade out Magnay this week.

The player: Bryce Cotton (G) PER $448,500
The moment: If I told you Bryce Cotton did not shoot a two-point field goal and you had made him your SuperCoach NBL captain, I’d imagine that for a moment, you would be concerned. Thankfully there were eight moments that mattered for Bryce, having made eight three-point shots on his way to a game high 42 SuperCoach points.

The player: Keanu Pinder (F/C) PER $347,600
The moment: There was six minutes and 12 seconds on the clock in the third quarter and Keanu Pinder hit a three-point shot. From that moment until he was substituted out two minutes and 39 seconds later, Pinder scored 14 consecutive points for the Wildcats on his way to a 40-point SuperCoach performance.

The player: Ben Henshall (G/F) PER $69,000
The moment: The moment Ben Henshall entered the court led to a great sigh of relief for anybody who invested in him early last season. He repaid the faith with 27 SuperCoach points, two points shy of his Round 1 performance last season. Once again this score will not contribute to his initial price rise after Round 3. Let's hope its not a moment of deja vu for Henshall owners.

The player: Parker Jackson-Cartwright (G) NZ $421,200
The moment: With his facilitation of a Mojave King Dunk with 4:15 remaining in the fourth quarter, Parker Jackson-Cartwright became the first player of the season to have a double-double with points and assists on his way to a round high 49 SuperCoach points. If you want to bring in PJC this week, be aware that the Breakers head to America for the next couple of rounds so you will need to trade him out after Round 2.

The player: Lachlan Olbrich (F/C) ILL $121,400
The moment: The moment for Olbrich was a 14-second stretch that started with 25 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Olbrich dragged in two rebounds, dished an assist and reached his double-double bonus. These 9 SuperCoach points in 14 seconds helped him reach his total SuperCoach score of 32, second only to Darius Double-Double Days for the Hawks.

The player: Jaylen Adams (G) SYD $392,900
The moment: The first 69 seconds of this contest provided the first of several nice moments for Jaylen. He started the game scoring the first eight points with consecutive three-point shots before showing off his float game for two more. With his ownership reduced significantly due to him sitting out the Blitz, Adams quick start rewarded those who took the gamble on him. His perfect start was parlayed into a round topping 54 SuperCoach points at the conclusion of the match.

The player: Montrezl Harrell (F/C) $277,000
The moment: The moment Trez hit the floor was significant for a whole host of characters.The first was the Adelaide 36ers, who benefited from Harrell’s +23 +/- while he was on the floor. The second was Isaac Humphries who it appears will not be able to play alongside Trez. Finally, for this week's SuperCoach NBL round winner who had the Adelaide big man and his 33 SuperCoach points  as his starting center. It is important to note that Harrell will not have his price change this round; and if he plays both games in Round 3, this score will not contribute to the “last 3” games played when his price does eventually change. However, on first impressions, that price could be on the way up.
