It's true, the most expensive player in the game is a bargain

Adelaide 36ers superstar Point God Bryce Cotton ($473,900) is a bargain. You read that right: the most expensive player in SuperCoach NBL is a bargain.

Cotton, 34, was a SuperCoach captain's delight in Round 2, pouring in 94 points (188 points with the C) in Adelaide's first double-header (DH) round. The 36ers play twice again in Rounds 3, 4 and 7.

"Now it's my time" Max Mackinnon ($200,000) was the only player (55 points) in the Round 2 Top 10 that didn't play twice and he made it on the back of a career night, putting up 31 points and pulling down 12 rebounds alongside NBL assists leader Arnas Velicka ($277,000) in Brisbane's 103-95 win against the Illawarra Hawks on Friday.

Velicka leads SuperCoach NBL on per game average at 55 while Breakers guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright ($405,200) has piled up the most overall points with 151 in three games.

Mackinnon, 22, had one more point than Perth Wildcats double-header forward Kristian Doolittle ($317,500). Ooft.

Wildcats teammate Anthony Dell'Orso ($100,000), who was the fourth most traded out player between Round 1 and 2, made A LOT of SuperCoaches look bad and feel worse, bouncing back from minus-2 in Round 1 to 75 points in Round 2. Backcourt running mate Elijah Pepper ($202,700) (72 points) is also shaping as a must-have before the price rises. The only challenge is the Wildcats don't have another DH until Round 7.

Thirteen of the Top 15 in Round 2 scored more than 50 points while King Kendric Davis ($436,000) delivered 46 points in just 27:57 minutes. His points-per-minute is off-the-charts good.

Cotton's teammate Nick Rakocevic ($188,400) is making the most of Isaac Humphries ($265,300) being on the sideline, supporting the six-time MVP in the box scores and SuperCoach NBL numbers. Rakocevic had 41 points and 20 rebounds in two games but 1-from-8 at the free throw line (including an airball) would have turned his 79-point weekend into a near 90.

Below are the Top 15 Scores from Round 2 and Top 25 Overall Scorers after two rounds.

SuperCoach points for the fifteen highest scorers of NBL27 Round 2. Read the G column first: Adelaide, Cairns, Illawarra and Perth each played twice in Round 2, so twelve of these totals cover two games rather than one and are not comparable with the rest. Kendric Davis and Milton Doyle tied for 15th on 46, so both are in and the table runs to sixteen.

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 2 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 they all agree, which they do. Prices are current SuperCoach prices, unchanged since the season opened. The biggest single game of the round was 64, by Bryce Cotton. Checked on 28 September 2026, after all seven Round 2 games had finished.

The twenty-five highest SuperCoach season totals after two rounds of NBL27. Check the G column before comparing totals: the NZ Breakers and SE Melbourne played twice in Round 1, and Adelaide, Cairns, Illawarra and Perth played twice in Round 2, so eighteen of these players have had three games and the rest two. Avg is the fairer comparison.

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

Totals, round scores and prices are SuperCoach’s own. We also recalculate every score ourselves from the NBL’s box scores, game by game, and the table is only built if the two agree for every player in both rounds, which they do. Avg is the season total divided by games played. Prices are current SuperCoach prices, unchanged since the season opened. Best average in this table: Arnas Velicka, 55.0 a game from two games. The biggest single game of the season so far is 64, by Bryce Cotton. Checked on 28 September 2026, after all six Round 1 and seven Round 2 games had finished.
