8. The only all star from the Nevada Battleborn this season was defensemen Arvinder Singh, which is an impressive start to the rookie's career. Despite Nevada rebuilding and finishing in the bottom 5 in the standings, Singh was still able to hang close to some of the league leaders among defenseman, despite also being down a few hundred TPE on some of them. He had the 17th most points from the blue line this season, and tied for 14th in assists, which is a strong feat when NBB scored the 3rd least among of goals this season, with 4 teams scoring 99+ more goals than them. A large portion of his scoring came from quarterbacking pp1, where he was tied for 7th in ppPoints. Even more impressive is he racked up 154 hits, which was good for 3rd among defenseman, as well as the 20th most takeaways, showing that he has already established himself as a strong 2 way defenseman, with 3 more years of eligibility to grow. Despite being a rookie at the all star game, the team expects to see Singh not playing scared, and to join the rush and throw the body around like he did all season, and prove that he can hang with the league's best.

13. There are 3 different candidates alone for the Anrikkanen Trophy on NBB. Mick Geno, Dre McIntyre, and Arvinder Singh could all realistically be nominated. I already talked about Singh, but Geno and McIntrye both were nearly ppg on one of the lowest scoring teams in the league. Hurts and Singh were also #1 and #3 among Dmen in hits, and both top 20 for takeaways, but likely lack the blocks and possession stats to be nominated for the Metzler. Overall I suspect maybe 2 nominations total for rookie of the year - I would like to see Singh and one of the forwards - but no other nominations for NBB.
