Eurobasket.com All-Spanish LFB Awards 2010-11 - May 2, 2011
Sancho Lyttle won impossible: Import Player of the Year and ...Domestic Player of the Year in Spanish league. Except first award was last season, when Saint Vincent and the Grenadines-born center was still considered import player. But after receiving Spanish citizenship last summer, she played this year as a domestic player helping Perfumerias win first Superleague, then regular season championship and finally the pleague play-offs. Only Spanish cup slipped away for Avenida team. Lyttle averaged very strong 13.5ppg, 8.4rpg (#4 in league) and 2.0spg (#3 in league). She may be also main player of Spanish national team. Lyttle is joined in the 1st team by Rebekkah Brunson who wins also Import Player of the Year award. The other player from championship Perfumerias joining all-LFB 1st team is Brazilian Erika DeSouza, who is also Defensive Player of the Year. Both Lyttle (193cm) and DeSouza (197cm) make unstopable center-duo in the league. The guard positions in 1st team are taken by top scorer in the league (25.5ppg) Puerto Rican - American Marie Murphy Eshaya from Mariana and cup winner leader DeWanna Bonner from Rivas. American Kathryn Douglas who made 2nd team changed also her nationality to Greek, which makes her Bosman player. However she received the approval in March, so we consider her the import player as she had that status for the most of season. *The players should play at least 18 games to be considered for post-season awards Player of the Year: Sancho Lyttle (193-C-83) of Perfumerias Guard of the Year: Eshaya Marie Murphy (180-G/F-85) of Mariana Forward of the Year: Rebekkah Brunson (191-F/C-81) of Ros Casares Center of the Year: Sancho Lyttle (193-C-83) of Perfumerias Bosman Player of the Year: Iva Sliskovic (196-F-84) of Real C.Vigo Import Player of the Year: Rebekkah Brunson (191-F/C-81) of Ros Casares Domestic Player of the Year: Sancho Lyttle (193-C-83) of Perfumerias Defensive Player of the Year: Erika DeSouza (197-C-82) of Perfumerias Coach of the Year: Lucas Mondelo of Perfumerias 1st Team G: DeWanna Bonner (193-87) of Rivas Ecopolis G/F: Eshaya Marie Murphy (180-85) of Mariana F/C: Rebekkah Brunson (191-81) of Ros Casares C: Erika DeSouza (197-82) of Perfumerias C: Sancho Lyttle (193-83) of Perfumerias 2nd Team G/F: Paola Ferrari (178-85) of Mariana G/F: Kathryn Douglas (185-79) of Ros Casares F: Iva Sliskovic (196-84) of Real C.Vigo F: Alba Torrens (184-89) of Perfumerias C: Nicky Anosike (190-86) of Ros Casares 3rd Team G: Shona Thorburn (178-82) of Ibiza G: Natasha Lacy (178-85) of Hondar.-Irun G/F: Paola Ferrari (178-85) of Mariana C: Courtney Paris (193-87) of Rivas Ecopolis C: Aneika Henry (191-86) of Mann Filter Honorable Mention Rosaura Sanchez (176-G-74) of Gran Canaria Franciele Nascimento (190-C-87) of Cadi la Seu Kaayla Chones (191-C-81) of Navarra Egle Stakneviciene (190-F-85) of Real C.Vigo Amaya Valdemoro (184-F-76) of Rivas Ecopolis Sandra Pirsic (195-C-84) of Ibiza Kristen Rasmussen (188-C-78) of Ibiza Belinda Snell (181-F-81) of Perfumerias Marta Fernandez (178-F-81) of Ros Casares All-Domestic Players Team G: Natasha Lacy (178-85) of Hondar.-Irun G: Rosaura Sanchez (176-74) of Gran Canaria F: Amaya Valdemoro (184-76) of Rivas Ecopolis F: Alba Torrens (184-89) of Perfumerias C: Sancho Lyttle (193-83) of Perfumerias All-Imports Team G: DeWanna Bonner (193-87) of Rivas Ecopolis G/F: Kathryn Douglas (185-79) of Ros Casares G/F: Eshaya Marie Murphy (180-85) of Mariana F/C: Rebekkah Brunson (191-81) of Ros Casares C: Erika DeSouza (197-82) of Perfumerias All-Bosmans Team G: Shona Thorburn (178-82) of Ibiza G/F: Paola Ferrari (178-85) of Mariana F: Iva Sliskovic (196-84) of Real C.Vigo F: Egle Stakneviciene (190-85) of Real C.Vigo C: Sandra Pirsic (195-84) of Ibiza Perfumerias is the new LFB champion - Apr 29, 2011 Finals, Game 2: Ros Casares - Perfumerias 85-90 (0-2) Spanish LFB got a new champion.
