be Andrew Gaze again. Yes, the NBL announced at its annual awards
dinner in Sydney last night that Australia's best player was the MVP for
the fifth season on end. And seven times in all, in 15 seasons. There will
be no argument as to the merit of the award, Gaze, 32, leading the league
in scoring (for the 11th time) with an average 31.8 points a game on 50
per cent shooting while adding 6.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds But it was
the tightest finish in the league's 20-year history, Gaze scoring 129 votes
to beat Derek Rucker (126), Ben Melmeth (123) and Steve Woodberry
(121). All are members of the all-NBL team. Rucker was MVP in 1990.
This year he and another import guard, Woodberry, had standout seasons
as "go to" players, while Melmeth continued his rapid progress by winning
the most improved award and earning Boomer selection for the world
championships in Athens next month. Robert Rose (1993) is the only player
to halt Gaze's run since his first award in '91.
