Round 1 ABL Previews

I see that the round 1 ABL previes are now up on the Central ABL website.

I found this interesting:

"Jarrod Younie, who sat out last season with an achilles tendon tear has been refashioned as a point guard"

Do you think this could work? Mavs obviously need a point guard. Modra has done it at times but giving Younie the responsibility to change to a pass first player may just be a master stroke from new coach Wade Hampton. I suspect Centrals may just test this out early with some full court pressure to start the game. Should be a good contest between two improving teams.

It also says that Dusty isn't playing. I thought he was in town - is he injured or just not playing? If he doesn't play I think Norwood may get this one.

The other two games (South vs Southern and West vs Sturt) will be good contests and are too close to call.

Seeing as though he hasn't played at this level for a while, I think he is going to struggle big-time with the level of defensive intensity he is going to come up against.

'Point Guard' isnt just walking the ball up the court these days... he is going to have some of S.A.'s top guards in his face as soon as they inbound the ball.

I think he will struggle to get it over half court on his own.
