FFS. I guess that bench won't warm itself.

I think this sadly means that heuir won't be back.

Confirmed

LOL at Cairns fans thinking Cairns is above DKD.

I know for sure that Cairns fans are above you, LoveBroker.

DKD a smokey for MIP, but my pick is Ngatai

He has the tools to be a good player, just lacks a lot of confidence.

DKD was a great bench spark for Perth before Steindl "arrived". It was really disappointing to see him fall out of the rotation for a 20 something % sharpshooter... It would not surprise me if he averages 10pts per game, not bad for a bench player.

Hopefully he makes the most of his chances if this rumour is true.

OK. Anons .

Thank God

"LOL at Cairns fans thinking Cairns is above DKD."

No, just Greg Hire.

DKD is the highest scoring Aussie in the SEABL just above Drimic.
I think with less pressure and some more minutes he will do well for Cairns.

Actually make that 2nd

I think Dexter will really benefit and some may snicker at this but this shows that more teams are needed because potentially really good players need chances and DKD wasn't getting that at Perth.

I've always liked Goulding but at Gold Coast behind Deleon, Gibson, Harvey and Cadee, we witnessed Goulding struggling for court time. Whilst I'm not suggesting that DKD will have a 50 point game in a few seasons time, I think him scoring 25 in a game isn't out of the question and I hope that he does that several times and he wouldn't be a bad player to pick for Fantasy but I still think that Ngatai will be better value

"I think with less pressure and some more minutes he will do well for Cairns."
So playing in a winning team, where he could come on in junk time with a license to shoot, was more pressure than a struggling team where he'll be expected to contribute??

And even if that were true, htf is that a good thing?

The difference between the guy who can bomb 10 straight at practice, and a player who contributes to a win, comes down to how well they handle pressure.

" I dont think Gleeson has shown he can develop any talent"

Yeah, cos thats the job of the head coach, looking after the DP's.

Lets not pretend this is any more than what it is. Cairns have no money, so they are signing anyone they can get for the league minimum.

"Returning college kids, few other edge players to choose from - didn't have to pick DKD. "
So what are you saying? That there are worse players than DKD in Australia? Ok, yes there are.
I'd assume that Kelly has been watching him play for the Tigers, and likes what he sees.

"I understand the HC can delegate much of the individual development to the Assistant Coach(es) but they are still part of the group and need to understand the system / schemes."

True, true, but the poster was citing DKD as evidence that Gleeson didn't develop players.
The simple fact is that most players do improve in the Wildcats system.
But if you're going to blame a young fringe-player's lack of progress on the coaching staff, then that would definitely be the assistants and development staff.

Laid, LoveBroker also needs to be

the clue's in his name. maybe he's spent all his centrelink cash this week so he's a bit antsy.
