Albury/Wodonga sign Alex Bogart-King

Bandits have signed Alex Bogart-King a 6'7 forward from the Hume City Broncos in the Big V.

Anybody know much about him?

I was pretty sure I was 6'5 if he is 6'7 I must nearly be 7ft now.

He is listed as 6'7" and about 228lbs... Good size for a small forward.

He's a legit 6'6 with no shoes on, I've seen him against people who are that size and he's just as tall. He's a strong and athletic 4 man who has added a lot to his game which has seen him play half his minutes at the 3 at Hume this year. He has developed a very consistent mid range jumper and efficient handles over the last 2 years.

If he can develop an outside jumper in this off season he will be a very good SEABL player. Surprised a Melbourne team didn't get him honestly.

Thanks for the info. Apparently Ben Hollis isn't playing for the Bandits this year so sounds like this guy will be a good replacement.

Hollis was an excellent rebounder but had no offensive game whatsoever. Anybody know where he's gone to?

He'll leave a big hole with his defense and rebounding.

Alex got no left hand at all......can jump so good for the highlight package but at this level will get found out defensively as can't guard the onball and ball watches on weak side.....

He's a small 4 at SEABL level, will struggle against starting 4's so I'd expect he'd be a role player off the bench depending on how deep they are this year.

Lol. Strong everything.

Alex will dominate SEABL, in fact, he should be in NBL now (srs). You trying to tell me that Greg Page (lol) is better than Alex?.. Not sure if syrias. Tiger Watcher, peoples game can evolve and alex has improving every season. Please respond.

#589 get off the weed dude, 1 is a PG the other an under sized 4 man who's done nothing yet and proven nothing, let's see how he performs against quality bigger body's.

Who said he has consistent mid range jumper? haha he will get eaten alive in SEABL. Hope Albury have money to burn because whatever they are paying him is too much.

Have seen Alex play a lot in the Big V over the past few years. He is a great guy and it is really exciting to see he has this opportunity. Wish him all the best.

Lets be honest, he's a great guy and has potential but his numbers are hardly that impressive when you consider he was one the only go to players in the second weakest Roster in BigV last season.
Seen him play a few times and hasn't got the shot or range to play as a 3 and not big enough to play as a genuine 4, all fine at BigV Level but unconvinced he will be more than a benchy at SEABL level.

Alex is a great guy, his attitude is second to none. I for one can't wait to see him play at the SEABL level. He is a competitor, and those types always do well no matter what.

Good luck to him.

He'll be a good 10-15 minute player in SEABL, but don't expect much more.
He'll compete hard

Theres only one way to find out if your any good and thats to step up a level and have a crack.Look how many guys were playing local footy had a crack at VFL and are now playing AFL.Nothing ventured nothing gained.
