It's time to find out who the Goat player of the Phoenix is from our players past and present, decided by you!

The final eight was decided by you, with our first quarter-final match up between inaugural player Mitch Creek and ex-captain 'Wild' Kyle Adnam.

MITCH CREEK

Games: 143 | PPG: 20.5 | RPG: 6.6 | APG: 3.0 | SPG: 1.0

Mitch Creek has dominated his time at the Phoenix. The first-ever signing for the NBL’s ninth franchise after a stint in the NBA with the Brooklyn Nets and Minnesota Timberwolves, Creek hit the ground running and never looked back.

The Horsham product has won each of the five Phoenix MVP awards, been named to the All-NBL First Team and Second Team (twice) and leads every overall stat category for the club.

Already with 197 games of NBL experience under his belt before he reached the Heartland, Creek made an immediate impact and led the team to their first playoffs appearance in just their second year of existence.

KYLE ADNAM

Games: 119 | PPG: 9.8 | RPG: 1.5 | APG: 3.0 | SPG: 0.6

A foundation player, ‘Wild Kyle’ wowed crowds with his knock-down shooting and eye of an elite pass. Diminutive in size, but not in standing with Phoenix fans, once Adnam found space the opposition were in trouble.

Adnam played four seasons with the Phoenix and is one of just three players to have notched triple-figure appearances with the Phoenix in the club’s history.
