WHO DID IT BEST: BCB STATS LEADERS GOING INTO 2026

As the BCB ends the first half of the season and enters 2026, it’s time to see who the league’s top-performing players are.

The statistics are from the league season only and not the BCB Trophy that started the season. Here are the leaders going into the New Year.

Points – JaRon Thames (Newcastle Knights)

Newcastle Knights’ JaRon Thames has been in devastating form so far this season, leading the Tyneside outfit to the top of the standings through his offensive prowess.  

Thames averages 25.6 points per game this season, with his 41 points in the double overtime victory over the Essex Rebels his masterpiece. This season, Thames has posted three games of 30 points or more along with two double-doubles.

Now in his third spell at Hemel Storm, Taylor Johnson is second in points per game this season with Thames’ team-mate Bradley Dean in third. Reading Rockets guard Victor Olarerin and Essex Rebels’ Miles Brown round off the top five.

Field Goal Percentage – Mo Walker (Derby Trailblazers)

Veteran Mo Walker has been as effective as they come for the Derby Trailblazers this season. In the nine games he has played in the league, Walker has taken an average of 10 shots per game, and his field goal average hasn’t dropped below 50 percent.

The big man shoots 66.7 percent from the floor, putting him at the summit. Reading Rockets’ American Malik Bryant is second on the list, with Walker’s old Leicester Riders team-mate Darien Nelson-Henry of Hemel Storm third.

Yorkshire Dragons’ David Ulph, who was a key part of his side’s early-season success, is in fourth with Ronald Blain of the City of Birmingham Rockets in fifth.

Rebounds – David Ulph (Yorkshire Dragons)

David Ulph has been dominant under the basket for the Yorkshire Dragons this season, en route to a whopping nine double-doubles in 11 games.

Ulph also has a 20-20 game, pulling down 22 rebounds along with 29 points against the Newcastle Knights on October 11, and as we head into the second half of the season, he averages a staggering 14.6 boards per game.

London Cavaliers’ Mekhi Collins is second, joining Ulph in double figures for rebounds with 10.5 per game. Bristol Hurricanes’ Daniel Edozie is third with Adrian Scarborough of Worthing Thunder and Mo Walker of Derby Trailblazers completing the list.

Assists – Sam Newman (Hemel Storm)

This season, the Hemel Storm’s Sam Newman has been sharing the ball like chocolate being passed around at Christmas.

The man who secured the BCB’s first triple-double this season, an 11-point, 11-rebound and 13-assist effort against Loughborough Riders, is averaging a solid 11.0 assists per game.

Jordan Spencer of Milton Keynes Breakers is second at 8.4 assists per game; Nicolas Lewis of the Yorkshire Dragons is third. Elvisi Dusha and Miles Brown are fourth and fifth, respectively.

Steals – Miles Brown (Essex Rebels)

Like a thief in the night, Miles Brown has been disrupting offences and is a terror on the defensive end.

The Essex Rebels guard has got 48 steals overall, averaging an incredible 4.0 steals per game, way ahead of Victor Olarerin, Donell Nixon, Nicolas Lewis, Sam Newman and Ronald Blain, who are in a five-way tie with 2.3 steals a contest.

Blocks – Luke Okosieme (City of Birmingham Rockets)

Luke Okosieme has been holding block parties throughout the BCB season and has proved to be the ultimate host if anyone dares attack the rim.

The City of Birmingham Rockets big man has swatted away on average 2.6 shots this season, with Raheem May-Thompson of the Derby Trailblazers second with 2.1 blocks.

Xavier Wilson of the Milton Keynes Breakers nestles in third spot, with Marquel Beasley, David Ulph, Darien Nelson-Henry, Cooper Creek, Ty Nsangu and Milo Gordon all tied for fifth.
