Kiwi Ben's SuperCoach 'Gold' if keeps getting minutes

• Illawarra 100 def Adelaide 99, Brisbane 112 def Tasmania 91 in Bendigo
• Tyrell Harrison tops our projected SuperCoach table on 54 from 28 points
• Ben Gold, at $69,000, returned more per dollar than any player

Kiwi Tasmania JackJumpers forward Ben Gold ($69,000) was the best value on the floor on day two of the CODE Sports NBL Blitz, posting a double-double in 28:50 as the JackJumpers went down 112-91 to Brisbane at Red Energy Arena in Bendigo on Thursday, September 3, 2026.

Gold, fresh off a four-year NCAA stint with Marquette, finished with 11 points, 11 rebounds, an assist and a steal, a line worth 30 projected SuperCoach points. Against the $69,000 he is priced at, that is 43.5 points for every $100,000 spent.

The biggest raw score of the night belonged to Tyrell Harrison ($336,100), 27, whose 28 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block worked out at 54. He posted it in 23:47, fewer minutes than any of the four men behind him on the table, for a Brisbane side that beat Tasmania by 21.

Day 2, Thursday 3 September 2026 at Red Energy Arena, Bendigo. Brisbane Bullets 112 Tasmania JackJumpers 91 · Illawarra Hawks 100 Adelaide 36ers 99. Ranked on the projected SuperCoach score, which is the player’s points plus one per rebound, two per assist, three per steal, three per block, minus two per turnover, plus five for a double-double or 10 for a triple-double. Tyrell Harrison, Arnas Velicka, Zylan Cheatham and Ben Gold each earned a double-double, worth five points on top of the line above. Arnas Velicka and Flynn Cameron on 48, Milton Doyle and Zylan Cheatham on 44 are all level. The order between players on the same projected score is the order supplied and is not a ranking; inventing a tiebreak would publish a claim the data does not support.
Every figure is checked, not quoted. Each stat line is asserted against the official NBL box score, joined on the player’s permanent feed id rather than his name, because the SuperCoach register and the NBL feeds do not always spell a name the same way. Each player’s points are recomputed from his own shooting line and each club’s player points reconciled to the final score. Two further identities are recomputed across all 43 rows in both games: the feed’s own efficiency figure, which reads the rebound column that nothing else here touches, and the plus-minus column, which must sum to five times the margin because five players are on the floor for every second.
This is the top ten of everyone who took the floor in both games, not ten players picked out: 43 players are scored and the next best projected score on the night was 28. Prices run from $69,000 to $339,500 and are the 6:12am AEST, 3 September 2026 pull of the SuperCoach register; no Blitz performance moves them, because the pre-season is not scored. Every name links to that player’s SuperCoach profile, and the number in each link is resolved at build time, because SuperCoach ids are positions in a list that re-sequences whenever the list grows.
Personal fouls score nothing in SuperCoach NBL, neither a positive nor a negative, so they are not on this table. Readers arriving from SuperCoach AFL or NRL often expect them to cost points.

• Ben Gold ($69,000) returned 43.5 per $100,000.
• Three double-doubles: Tyrell Harrison ($336,100) 28 and 10, Zylan Cheatham ($339,500) 16 and 15, Gold 11 and 11.
• Arnas Velička ($277,000) had 13 assists and five steals, and five turnovers cost him 10 of the 58 he would otherwise have banked.
• Todd Blanchfield ($123,800) finished on minus two, from two points and two turnovers in 7:11.
• Team projected totals: Brisbane 229, Illawarra 195, Adelaide 175, Tasmania 156.

Day 2, Thursday 3 September 2026 at Red Energy Arena, Bendigo. Brisbane Bullets 112 Tasmania JackJumpers 91 · Illawarra Hawks 100 Adelaide 36ers 99. Ranked on projected SuperCoach points per $100,000 of price: the projected score divided by the price, multiplied by 100,000, rounded half up. Before a lockout the question is not who is good but who is cheap and producing, which is what this column measures and a score column does not. Milton Doyle and Max Mackinnon on 16.0 are level to a tenth of a point. The order between them is the order of the unrounded figures and the difference is smaller than the column shows, so read them as the same rate.
Every name links to that player’s SuperCoach profile, and the prices are a fixed snapshot taken at 6:12am AEST, 3 September 2026. Both at once, deliberately: the right-hand figure is arithmetic performed on the price beside it, so a price that updated itself would leave the ratio wrong while still looking authoritative. Linking the name and not the figure is what keeps the profile link live and the divisor still. No Blitz performance moves a price in any case, because the pre-season is not scored.
Minimum 10 minutes played. A short cameo produces a spectacular rate and means nothing, so minutes are shown rather than merely promised: 34 of the 43 priced players who took the floor cleared the minimum and 9 did not. This is the top 10 of that qualifying field, not ten players picked out; the next best rate among the qualified was 14.5. Every player who took the floor is in the SuperCoach game and carries a price, so nobody is missing from this field for want of one.
Personal fouls score nothing in SuperCoach NBL, neither a positive nor a negative. Prices on this table run from $58,500 to $336,100. The companion table, Day 2 top projected SuperCoach scores, ranks the same night on the raw score instead.
