Harris had a solid outing for Warwick Senators in their 103-88 loss to Goldfields in Kalgoorlie, contributing 20 points, seven assists and five rebounds.
The sharpshooting guard, who earned a spot on the Wildcats' main roster for NBL25 after two seasons as a development player, averaged 27 points, 6.57 rebounds, 5.43 assists and nearly four triples per game in a strong debut NBL1 West campaign.
His efforts earned him a spot in the All-NBL1 West First Team.
NBL1 West All-Defensive team member Okwera finished the season with yet another double-double as East Perth's season ended at the hands of Rockingham, 104-81.
The talented big man posted 13 points and 12 rebounds to go with four assists and two steals in a well-rounded performance.
Wildcats assistant coach Aaron Young made it through to his third consecutive New Zealand Basketball League grand final with Auckland Tuatara before going down to Canterbury.
Young, who is head coach of the Tuatara, led his team to a thrilling come-from-behind victory over Franklin in the semi-finals.
But the Rams, inspired by Illawarra Hawk Lachlan Olbrich who produced a stunning 29-point, 18-rebound performance, prevailed in the decider to go back-to-back.
