B. Braun Sheffield Sharks secure a monthly double as Rodney Chatman III nabs the Molten Player of the Month and Atiba Lyons snags the Kevin Cadle Coach of the Month.

The Sheffield basketball team went flawless in November, winning all four games to turn the season around and sit at 7-4 after a slow start.

B. Braun Sheffield Sharks rose to second and stayed on the tails of the London Lions in the championship standings.

With this feat, head coach Atiba Lyons was named the Kevin Cadle Coach of the Month by the Super League Basketball, over London Lions’ Tautvydas Sabonis and Bristol Flyers’ Andreas Kapaulas. 

His rigid schemes and mentality have made the Sharks one of the best defensive units in the league. The Sharks only conceded 77 points per game during this four-game winning run.

On the flip side of the ball, point-guard Rodney Chatman III led the offence incredibly, averaging 20.0 points, 7.0 boards and 5.3 assists per game, earning him the Molten Player of the Month award.

The former Vanderbilt star dominated the offensive game with his incredible playmaking skills. He has emerged as one of the league’s best distributors and versatile bucket-getters.

Chatman’s biggest performance came in a 35-point eruption, including six triples, to sink Manchester Basketball on Manchester Heritage Day. 

B. Braun Sheffield Sharks will host Newcastle Eagles on November 5th at the Canon Medical Arena, looking to grab win number five in a row with the backing of Shark Nation. 

In their previous matchup in mid-November, the Sharks narrowly defeated the Eagles behind Rodney Chatman III’s double-double with 17 points and 14 assists. 

His backcourt partner, Dirk Williams, also picked up a game-high 26 points, while Nick Kern Jr. provided a bright spark off the bench with 24 points.
