Bryce Cotton

Bryce Cotton, born on August eleventh, nineteen ninety-two, is a prominent American-Australian professional basketball player currently showcasing his talents with the Adelaide 36ers in the Australian National Basketball League (NBL). His journey in the NBL began with the Perth Wildcats, where he played from two thousand seventeen to two thousand twenty-five, achieving remarkable success that includes three NBL championships and five Most Valuable Player Awards.

Before his illustrious NBL career, Cotton honed his skills at Providence College, where he played four seasons with the Friars. His exceptional performance earned him first-team All-Big East honors in two thousand thirteen and two thousand fourteen. Despite going undrafted in the two thousand fourteen NBA draft, he had brief stints with the Utah Jazz, Phoenix Suns, and Memphis Grizzlies, along with experiences in the NBA Development League and international leagues in China, Turkey, and Italy.

In Australia, Cotton made an immediate impact, leading the Wildcats to an NBL championship in the two thousand seventeen finals, where he was named the grand final MVP. His accolades continued to grow as he secured his first league MVP in two thousand eighteen, followed by two more championships in two thousand nineteen and two thousand twenty, along with additional MVP titles. By two thousand twenty-five, he had set a club record with his seventh Wildcats Club MVP.

In May two thousand twenty-five, Cotton transitioned to the Adelaide 36ers and became an Australian citizen just four months later. His remarkable performance in the two thousand twenty-five to two thousand twenty-six season earned him his sixth NBL MVP, bringing him closer to the all-time record held by Andrew Gaze.
