2025/26 NBL Awards week: NBL Division Three

With the NBL and WNBL Playoff Finals all set for this weekend, it's time for the league's end-of-season awards.

Selected from across the league's five competitions and spread, as usual, across the next five days ahead of this weekend's showpiece games, we'll highlight worthy recipients from across the NBL.

Based on performances across the regular season, we'll follow the familiar pattern by announcing NBL Division Three's winners today, with WNBL Division Two coming tomorrow.

Wednesday will be NBL Division Two, with WNBL Division One on Thursday.

The week will conclude with the awards for NBL Division One ahead of this weekend's Senior Playoff Finals at Manchester's National Basketball Performance Centre.

Wilson MVPs

The top players are recognised from across D3's six pools, with a host of worthy winners.

With Manchester Giants II winning Pool A at 14-0, 10 points ahead of their next closest challenger, it's no surprise to see the North West side in the awards.

Unable to split their standouts, the Giants' Jayden Évora Gomes and Erminas Pelenis were both honoured as co-MVPs.

Yorkshire Dragons II were another unbeaten side, going 14-0 in Pool B, with former D1M star Ricky Fetske earning the plaudits there.

Bromsgrove Bears' Shekoni Faure-Lewis takes the Pool C award after a strong season, and youngster Gabriel Formeloza has secured the Pool D award, with the 19-year-old helping Milton Keynes Breakers II to a 15-1 campaign.

Pool E was a close-run affair, with Newham Youngbloods narrowly pipping Gravesend Spartans to top spot. Youngbloods' Ben Maranan takes MVP honours for his part in a successful regular season, whilst Exeter Spartans' Ed Potter rounds out the group after his impressive efforts in Pool F.

Wilson Coaches of the Year

It's not just players getting the glory, with a number of high-quality coaches also getting their share of the spotlight.

After spotless campaigns to seal top spot, Pool A's Andy Kelham from Manchester Giants II and Pool B's Michal Puszynski from Yorkshire Dragons II are both recognised.

Luke Parker enjoyed a quality campaign at the helm for Bromsgrove Bears, with the West Midlands side going 11-1 with an average margin of victory of 19.3PPG.

Leon Henry was the man leading Milton Keynes Breakers II to their own successes in Pool D, and highly-respected London coach Stephen Onireti gets the nod in Pool E after helping Newham to top spot.

Aaron Carpanini is the final winner for D3 in 2025/26, with the Exeter Spartans main man guiding his side to the summit of Pool F, going 15-1 and averaging over 90.0PPG on offence.
