Most Exciting NBL Team
Hypothetical question is that if you were GM of a NBL club and wanted to create the most exciting team possible that had to fit under the points cap who would you choose?
Don't worry about winning but rather the team that would make the most exciting plays possible and bring in crowds.
My team would be:
Starters
PG - Steven Markovic (9) - best PG in NBL at throwing alley-oops
SG - Thomas Abercrombie (10) - flys at ring and shoots the three
SF - James Ennis (10) - highlight reel. Won't be here next year, but would choose a similar type of wing player
PF - Sam Young (10) - strong forward. Same as Ennis, if not here next year would pick similar type of player as a beastly forward
C - AJ Ogilvy (10) - the version of AJ that started last year not the way he ended. At the start where he was blocking shots, put back dunks, coming off pick and rolls for alley-oops, etc.
Bench
PG - Jason Cadee (5) - Quick PG to push the ball in transition
SG - Mitch Creek (6) - Explosiveness at the hoop and in transition. Also can play the SF.
SF - Luke Jamieson (DP) - has huge hops and helps being listed as a 0 pointer
PF - Lucas Walker (7) - A lot of put back dunk and finishes in the lane can play both forward spots
C - Ater Majok (3) - high risk pick, but no other bigs are exciting. At least he will block shots and finish above the rim.
I reckon that team would actually be competitive in the league, although probably lacking a bit of size.... Would be exciting though.
