Fiji Basketball player Letava Whippy has been named in the All-Star Five of the tournament of the Sal’s 18in18 New Zealand Women’s National Basketball League.
Whippy stood the tallest performing admirably well on the big stage as the Fiji national player-led her Capital Swish side in four categories after racking up 12.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 3.7 steals.
Whippy’s leadership anchored the Capital to the semifinal stage before losing to eventual champion Breeze, 64-77.
Whippy also over performed in that semifinal match leaving an imprint for the Swish as she held her ground against the unbeaten and powerhouse Breeze following a 17-point, 12-rebound output including six assists and whopping five steals.
