Five-Time MVP Bryce Cotton Signs Three-Year Deal with Adelaide 36ers

Bryce Cotton, a five-time NBL MVP and one of the league's greatest players, has agreed to a three-year deal with the Adelaide 36ers after leaving the Perth Wildcats following nine seasons. Cotton's signing is seen as a major boost for the 36ers, potentially turning them into contenders after recent disappointing performances. Despite previously stating he would not play for another Australian team and being tipped to move overseas, Cotton will join Adelaide, reuniting with coach Mike Wells. Cotton's recent season included an average of 28.1 points per game and a record 59-point game, underscoring his impact. The 36ers have also been active in free agency, adding several players to bolster their roster. This move marks a significant development in the NBL free agency landscape, surprising many who expected Cotton to play internationally next season.
