Traditionally at the end of each year Eurobasket announces the European awards for last year. So for the third time Usbasket would like to announce its 2012-2013 National Awards.
It's the 3rd year of such ranking prepared by Usbasket.com staff. Usbasket has a network of almost 200 correspondents, while most of them are located in the United States and participated in preparing the ranking below.
We have the policy of not involving the fans as it may influence the final ranking and instead of that we rely on the opinions of experts.
All-United States category applies only to American Professional Basketball (not the NBA), but also these, who played overseas (mostly in NBA). The minor leagues were selected off of number of games, stats, players going overseas and overall talent.
Ahead of them all has to be the NBA D-League. The D-League by far has the most talent in the United States. Not only do they have the most talent they are branded by the brand (NBA). The D-League has sent over 36 players up to the NBA this season including Usbasket.com All-United States Player of the Year Andrew Goudelock (6'3''-G-88, college: Charleston) and 2nd Team member Jeremy Lamb.
The UBA may be the most impressive league of them all under the power houses. The UBA has sent over 109 players overseas in just 4 seasons. Not only do their players move on to the next level they all play well. Over 50% of the UBA players go to their mid-level countries and average the same numbers as they did in the UBA league.
The IBL and the PBL have to be two of the most entertaining and profitable leagues going in the United States. The PBL has the largest budget than all of the minor leagues and continue to add big talent. The IBL has been carried by power teams like the Los Angeles Lightning and ex NBA players like Bryon Russell and Toby Bailey. Now that the PBL and IBA have merged; the new PBL-IBA maybe be the future of minor league sports.
The ABA is one of the longest running leagues in the minor league circuit. No doubt about it, the Jacksonville Giants are a power and have to be respected.
This year, Andrew Goudelock dominated the votes and was named Player of the Year award and also United States 1st Team.
The first team was dominated by NBA D-League players, with Non D-League selected just in the 2nd best team.
Best point guard of the year is Jerel McNeal (6'3''-G-87, college: Marquette). The D-League star had a terrific season with Bakersfield Jam, leading the team to the best record in the NBA D-League. McNeal led the Jam in assist this season with 5.9 and scored an impressive 18.5ppg. McNeal was also named the 2012-13 All-NBA D-League 1st Team. He was later called-up to the Jazz.
Shooting Guard of the Year comes as no surprise, Andrew Goudelock "The Red Mamba". Goudelock played for Rio Grande Valley Vipers where he averaged 21.4ppg. He was currently called up for the LA Lakers. He was also named NBA D-League Player of the year along with 1st Team honors. The "Red mamba" is our selection for USA Player of the Year.
In small forward position theres Fort Wayne star Tony Mitchell (6'6''-F-89, college: Alabama). This year, Mitchell was also named to the NBA D-League 1st Team. The Alabama star was the league top scorer with 22.3ppg. He was also named league Rookie of the Year.
Power forward of the Year goes to a former NBA and international star: Terence Morris (6'10''-F-79, college: Maryland). The former Maryland star played 5 season in the NBA and 6 internationally in Spain. Morris is currently in the UBA playing for the Houston Express. He is currently averaging over 23 points per game and a league best 15 rebounds. He is one of the Team USA selections for the 2013 Williams Jones Cup Team.
Best center of the year is one of the biggest revelations of the previous season: Brian Butch (6'11''-C/F-84, agency: Edge Sports, college: Wisconsin). The big man had an impressive year with Bakersfield Jam averaging 13.0ppg and 11.8rpg. He is by far the best big in the NBA-DLeague.
