Velicka is gonna getcha a bucket of SuperCoach points

• All 165 games of the NBL27 season in one list
• Every NBL27 roster, squad list and projected depth chart
• Every injured NBL player, with expected return dates

So, that happened.

Six-time MVP Bryce Cotton ($473,900) declared he doesn't have rivalries, but we do, and if Round 1 of NBL27 is anything to go by, the rest of the season is going to be AWESOME.

Cotton vs Cole Anthony ($300,000) was a SuperCoach NBL points-scoring bonanza to open the season. The 36ers got the win 97-95, with Cotton clocking up a customary 42 points while Anthony was minutes-restricted but still racked up 34 points in just 21:50 minutes.

Cotton's 36ers have a double-header in Round 2 and he is an obvious captain for SuperCoaches who've spent the cash on SuperCoach NBL's most expensive player.

New Zealand Breakers point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright ($405,200) took two games to put up 99 points and was a Round 1 Godsend for the captain's armband. He's a Hold now for SuperCoaches who have him as their lead guard.

And then there's Arnas Velicka ($277,000). Woah. The Brisbane Bullets point guard is absolutely the real deal. The Lithuanian point guard scored 23 points, added 14 assists, five rebounds, and just one turnover in 35:02 minutes as the Bullets overcame a slow start to beat the New Zealand Breakers 88-85 at Pat Rafter Arena on Tuesday, September 22, 2026.

Velicka has elite vision, and his connection with Tyrell Harrison ($336,100) will only get better. NBL27 leading assist man is incoming. He's priced at the entry-level import price of $277,000 and his 59 is the best single-game return of the round - nobody who played once scored more.

Five players scored 50 or more points, and the top 13 scored 40 or more. Below is the Top 25 scorers of Round 1.

SuperCoach points for the twenty-five highest scorers of NBL27 Round 1. Read the G column first: the NZ Breakers and SE Melbourne Phoenix each played twice in Round 1, so nine of these totals cover two games rather than one and are not comparable with the rest.

How this table is built, and where the numbers come from

SuperCoach points are SuperCoach’s own. The box score beside them is the NBL’s, added up across every Round 1 game the player appeared in, so a player who played twice shows two games’ worth of minutes and shooting as well as two games’ worth of points. Neither figure is worked out from the other: we recalculate every SuperCoach score ourselves from the box score and the table is only built if all twenty-five agree, which they do. Prices are the opening prices for the season. The biggest single game of the round was 59, by Arnas Velicka. Checked on 23 September 2026, after all 6 Round 1 games had finished.
