Crocs struggling to score is probably the biggest thing to take out of these games.
They should be able to sort out their defensive problems but can't see where the scoring output is going to come from.

Maybe Crawford can put up 14 a game. I heard Rolan Roberts was slightly injured for this one which explains the 14 minutes.
scoring will be a problem all year for the Crocs...
if teams hang off Homicide and Roberts gets in foul trouble there aren't a lot of other reliable sources left.
They need PC, Hinder, Hoare, Williamson to average 10+ a game WITH both imports getting 15/20+

Scoring generally wasnt a problem for the Crocs last year, even with Rillie having a pretty average season.
They live and die by the three point shot, but with Williamson, Cedar, Robertson, Hinder, Crawford and Hoare in the lineup, they have plenty of guys who can hit it.
Yeah Townsville really filled it up during last season. Crawford is no the shooter Rillie is but can drill the three ball as well. I think the issue is not so much scoring, I think it will be:
- Keeping teams off the offensive glass. Hinder is the only dude over 6-8 and he is certainly no monster.
- Keeping Roberts in the game and not having him in foul trouble every week.
- Defending the ball one on one. Cedar, Williamson, a smaller and step slower Robertson and Homicide are not known for they're defense.
I still think they will win they're fair share of games though
