Joyce states:
"We see Harvey forming an integral part in our offensive strategies and he'll be given ample opportunities to shoot from the perimeter as well as penetrate to the basket,"

The Blaze are looking good, they will be a top 8 team.

Is there a certain level of irony between Harvey playing for a team called "Blaze"

Would have been more ironic if he played for "The Vets"

He was never going to play for Singapore, the risk would have been too great.

seriously though the blaze squad is going to be competitive.
Pero Cameron
Juaquin Hawkins
Casey Frank
Ben Melmeth
Scott McGregor
James Harvey
* another import
Rumor:
Tyson Demos
Daniel Joyce
Nick Campbel
A really good combination of statesmen and youth.
I certainly think top 6 team anyone else's thoughts?

You are kidding me. All these guys have played and most have been dumped from ailing/loosing programs in the past few yrs. They will be in the bottom 4. All these guys are in it for themselves.
Good call ha. Will depend on the other import they sign, but Melmeth, mcgregor and harvey are over the hill. They will still put up decent numbers from time to time, but will not be consistant. They may make the 8, but can see them being similar to singapore last year.
"They may make the 8, but can see them being similar to singapore last year."
I cant even see Singapore "being similar to singapore last year"

Keeping him on the court will be the issue. To injury prone for me.

i think you may be in for a suprise, in reference to Daniel Joyce he just hit 38 points in the ABA ( warratah league) not bad for an 18/19 year old,

so the team is looking like this
PG - Import/Joyce
SG - Harvey/Demos
SF - Hawkins/Campbel
PF - Pero/Mcgregor
C - Melmeth/Frank
they might just squeeze into the 8 but i would put my money on them missing out along with slingers,hawks,razorbacks and breakers

if they gell well and Joyce gets the best out of these players they will easily make the 8. They will be dangerous
last weekend dan joyce could possibly be seen as the downfall of the illawarra hawks in a shamble of a 4th quarter colapse,
so all though the kid has some talent, ur more likely to see the shocker than the stunner!

Will only make the eight if second import is of some quality.
So far they only have Hawkins and Casey that will do real damage.
McG, Doc Harvey, TAll Sleepy Dude and NZFAT CAT ae not going to cut it every game.
So unless SOJ and Demos are going to score 48 points tehy need a second import of some note.

Big deal if Joyce scored 38 in Waratah league. That is like getting excited if someone scores 38 in NZ NBL. Doesn't rate.
the teams just a bunch of guys looking to head to the gold coast and into semi-retirment on the beach. It might be ok to get an acceptable result this season, but its seems a pretty poor way to start a franchise

Dear Blaze Doubters,
Happy to accomodate any of you up to $1,000 that they make the eight.
Isaac has my email address, looking forward to the responses (and money come years end).
Thanks
