Is his contract up at seasons end? If so, United would be best to part ways with him, Barlow, and Anderson (unless he'll play for cheap).
Ha. Barlow injured for so long and still on the payroll and comes back as chump change. A shadow of hid former self. NBL career over.
Prather, Ware, Goulding are all ball dominant players, posters warned about this, Cedrick Jackson ran the show for Vickerman at breakers, could score but pass first. As good as Cg43 has been it might be time to off the bench and Prather to the two. It would free up Casper to go back to his normal game and allow Cg43 more offence of the bench.
Ware
Prather
Moller
Wesley
Boone
No one should play more than 30 minutes.

Goulding is done. It's come to the point I cringe and anticipate a turnover whenever he has the ball now. Needs a lot of touches to light it up
Have to question the wisdom of the coach. I remember gleeson benching from starting five Beal when he had a shocking run of scoring. CG43 needs to be demoted back down to the bench and I wonder why the coach hasnt picked that up as being necessary.

For me I'd have
Boone
Anderson/majok
Prather
Ware
Adnam
Wesley
Goulding
Would allow for Prather and ware to get their shots

Bring in a Tasmanian club and let this man be the face of the new organisation, something really stinks in Melbourne and hearing about his swagger aren't doing MU any favours but could be exactly what the Tassie devils need

If he's out of contract at MU next season I believe he'll end up at Brisbane. He's still perceived as a marquee name by the casual fan and Lemanis can run everything through him so he'll get lots of shots up and occasionally look like he's worth whatever they overpay him.
It won't make Brisbane any better though and he'll still be woeful 3 nights out 4, but there's a certain logic to the whole arrangement.
Just not a smart player. The days of his prime are quickly fading and he isn't even close to being an NBA talent.
He hasn't gotten himself into basketball shape this season.
He looks at least 5kg too heavy
CG43 got to into his own hype train!
On this seasons form he isn't in Boomers conversation.
It doesn't make sense why he gets 32 minutes a game.
The poster before said it right they have to many guys who need the ball in their hand. It's better to have someone like adnam on because you know he'll do the team thing as for anderson I just don't get it, every time he is on he is productive and he seems to be getting less and less minutes. I wouldn't give even 1 minute to hooley, barlow and moller they.
Cg43 bought into his own hype. He can't defend an under 10, can’t fight around or through screens ffs, can never read a play and stick his body in the road. All round liability this season.
He jacked up some real puss last night and miracously got 1 when he was covered. Looks off balanced most times and timid - having a sore/weak gut can’t help which means he shouldn’t be starting and probably needs time out to heal. United are cooked - can see Brisbane/Illa/Snakes knocking them down to 2nd last with kings who are more of a mess losing to an ordinary road team in Brisbane.

They are best starting with Casper and Prather as primary scorers playing off Boone's screens, Wesley as the tough role player who can create a score when left 1 on 1 and Moller as the other role player who doesn't need the ball, just hustles.
If CG43 came off the bench and was on court when Casper and or Prather was off he might have some value, same argument with Melo at OKC at the moment, inefficient volume shooter who needs to lead the second unit if he's going to add any value. Trouble is the ego won't allow it, in either case.

I think your assessment of Tai Wesley's toughness is a bit off, Melbourne Boy. He's pretty soft. The one-percenters just don't exist in his game

most hustle i've seen from Goulding all year, did he get credited with a steal for that? lol
I'm with you Melbourne boy, Wesley don't box out hard enough though, like your starting 5 though.
