Prather 39 points, Ware 38 points

Thought they deserved their own thread with a contest like that.

Prather 39 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists. 12/20 FG, 3/4 3P and 12/12 FT. Plus the 92-89 win.

Ware 38 points and 5 assists. 13/27 FG, 8/19 3P, 44 FT.

This season is not getting any worse...

Prather 39, Ware 38 is first time 2 players with 38 in same game since @ShaneHeal had 44 for Kings & R. Rutherford 38 for Bullets 8/3/2002

Worth noting that 2002 game would've been 48 minutes.

Prather deserves a gig in the Euroleague.

Ware has out Goulding'd Goulding lately. Shoots from anywhere with zero hesitation. United is now playing exciting, up tempo basketball. The wins will be fun and the losses will be frustrating with shot selection questionable, but it will never be boring watching Ware and CG letting rip from 25 feet one minute and then the next minute going to the rack and finding an open man.

FMD that Ware is a talent and a half. With him, MU are back on track in a big way.
I'd love to see him go against Damo all night.

Prather is carrying the Cats, without him we are toast.

(And then letting rip from 25 feet again the next play, with 15 second on the clock, irrespective of whether the previous shot found the hole)

Yes I agree that Cats are toast with out Prather. That's been the case all season. But if he's going to keep playing at all league level then they will remain in the hunt. It's incredible where he us now, after a mediocre start early last season. Even later last season, I didn't envisage him having this kind of ability to create for himself so soon.

His development reminds me a bit of Kawhi Leonard. Leonard is different in some ways, but similar in that his ball handling, one on one scoring and overall offensive game has come forward in leaps and bounds over the years.

I thought ware shot the ball too much tonight. Needs to share it with cg43 more. Cg started hot and looked like he could score on hire wherever he wanted but was an afterthought in the fourth quarter

Hat's off to both player's, win or lose you want to see the best going at it. Saw that tonight, great game and what league we have.

Perth be last or first, i pay money to see player's play. Randal was amazing as well.

LV, Pop talked recently about how they had Kawhi study Jordan in-depth to emulate a lot of his finer skills. His handle and movement is pretty special now.

Ware attempted 7 3 pointers and a lay-up in the last 3 mins. Certainly isn't shy.

How well would Prather's game translate elsewhere?

Obviously the quality's higher.
Would he get a starting gig in Europe?

Is he good enough to crack any kind of NBA contract? Obs he'd be a bench player, but would his game work? He doesn't really shoot well enough from outside to be a SG, but he's phenomenal at just getting to the basket. Could he play a swingman type role?

There actually aren't many leagues where the quality is higher Dazz, after the NBA, Euroleague and Spain I don't think there are any that clearly stand above the NBL of today.

Obviously the styles are different in different places, and he is well suited to the fast pace in Australia, but if he keeps improving that jump shot there won't be too many leagues where he can't make an impact with his mix of strength, athleticism and skill.
