they were looking at cockburn and even bendat, nothing panned out

Crap backboard supports players can hurt themselves on

Great to see Vinnie Zollo back in the league!

If he can scrub together 6 seasons for 4 different teams we can rank him in top 3 alongside Justin Eckardt and that Magic/Suns NZ player... Sorry name escapes me!

biggest deal breaker with curtain is lack of sufficient distance from baseline to the wall. It was never brought up when Redbacks played there a few years ago

I think the NZ Suns Magic player you are referring to is Travis McIlroy

Apparently he has been looking to make a comeback?

That's the one!!

McIlroy is one of the biggest scrubs brought over to play here! Makes me laugh imagining who made that call to do it...

curtin has lots of issues.
Cost the big one. Changerooms. Backboards. run off space, corporate space, access to bar etc etc.
... no surprises they ran away. redbacks did after 1 season!

Correct me if i am wrong, but wasnt mcilroy initially brought over by Goldfields Giants?

he then had stints at mandurah and kalamunda

he is now the ceo of The Farm Athletics

former ceo of icollege?

McIlroy also established Swan City Basketball Association (SCBA) in 2015

Swan City Basketball Association... that has no affiliated competition or teams or members with BWA. Big tings

^hahahaha ok

what does affiliation with BWA actually get you?

this is an SBL thread keep on topic

1) Why would anyone want to be affiliated with BWA they are a joke
-Access to competitions (SBL, WABL)
-Access to high performance pathways
-Access to government funding
-Access to insurance

I'd say its a pretty good idea, have you played basketball at other domestic leagues (Belmont, Lords, Loftus)... good luck. Back to your hole.

is it true that lakeside have hired an assistant coach out of the USA for their mens team?
ex player of daniels?

You would imagine they would be paying Daniels a fair amount, add an american assistant, 2 american imports, kyle armour, mike vigor, jarrad prue. cheque book is open

whilst this is a great starting 5 i dont know if this team is a real contender?

what bench do they have?
Mackenzie
is Vinci still there?

both have big games every now and then but havent proven to be consistent producers

Not sure how they go against teams like Rockingham, Wolves, Hawks

The American assistant coach isn't being paid by lakeside and moved to perth at his own cost with his Aussie girlfriend.

Great to see Ben Johnson doing well down there. Some great guys for him to learn from in Godfrey and Robbins too

only 2 weeks until the blitz , im looking forward to seeing what the giants new players are like.
I think they can push well into contention if there add-ons are legit.

Hopefully the Giants can turn it around this year. The league is better when the Giants are good. Bowie will be great for them. Salmon and Malek look good.

Because the Giants play in the league?

Any league is better the more competitive it is. No one wants to see Chicago or Phoenix get smacked every game...

the regional teams are notoriously bad, with Mandurah just awful, followed closely by Kal and Bunbury. Gero are long-time finals chockers. When the Giants were in their heyday (2004-2008), the league has great.

The giants just need some stability and a plan to develop some key locals. They have had a revolving door of coaches.

In recent years they have had
Dan Fisher
Michael Haney
Marcus Taylor
Lou Causer
Scott Rubery
Wayne Creek

Creek is in for his second stint but out of all the above he is really the only one who has had a strong plan for development. He is the right man for the job for where they are currently at

Easley continuing his quest to play for every SBL club, now with Kalamunda.

Easley has played for Kalamunda previously. This will be his second stint there

Easley's SBL career

2008: Cougars
2009: Suns
(2010: Ipswich Force in QBL)
2011: Eagles
2012: Eagles
2013: Hawks
2014: Hawks
2015: Tigers
2016: Slammers
2017: Eagles
2018: Eagles
2019: Suns

think most teams will have decent line up in their "fully timed" game
