Nbl only

Sam Froling is 21 years old!

If he can develop a 3 point shot he has a chance, not saying he will but he definitely has to chance. He get with the right trainers/circle he can

Heal said Harry would be an nba player, now that's working out well. Sam got more up side, don’t see enough athleticism or height. Heal just looking after his mates, should not be on commentary.

Froling is kicking arse this year. NBA is about who you know and opportunities.

Some idiot said "That kind of caught me by surprise as I didn't think he was that good." That proves to me you know nothing about talent what so ever.

Heal has his favourites, cadee and the Frolings.

Thanks again Shane.

NBA
National Burger Association.

Harry is there already.

Humphries, landale, wetzell are the only local bigs with a shot.

Moller was invited to summer league, not certain that's a shot, didn’t happen due to summer league cancelled because of covid. Tate is doing great over there, imo Creek is a better player or at least equal. Sometimes it’s luck, right spot right time, know someone in the system.

Heal is spot on with Sam he has all the tools to be a great player. For the person who said that Heal said that about Harry well the difference is dedication to it and Sam has the right body type to make it in the NBA when Harry doesn't. Also looks like he is willing to learn and Harry doesn’t

The NBA is all about what you do at an skite level. Will Magnay is a world class shot blocker. Tate is elite in switching an on ball screen 1-4. Broekoff a shooter (though not as much at the moment. Sam Froling is solid at every aspect of the game and elite at none. I don't see what element he can take to the next level. He would have to be a 4, and to put that in context Landale is a 4 with a lot more polish that can’t get a look in. All NBL is Sam ceiling for me (which is nothing to be sneezed at).

What's so good about Sam? Just looks like an average big man to me. Not particularly athletic or skilful.

Harry froling reminds me a lot of Nikola jokic

No he won't shane

Sam Froling has a lot of potential to be a great NBL player.

But he doesn't any X-factor required to be an NBA player.

There is at least 10 players in the NBL, maybe 20, that would get an NBA opportunity before him.

Is Heal his agent ?

He's really young, I think that's worth remembering. The numbers he's putting up in the NBL this year are pretty solid at his age, and the question is whether his shooting, IQ, and lateral mobility improve enough for him to play the 4 in the NBA. I think he's a better player than Landale was at the same age. But as others have said, in a lot of cases it's about who you know, getting the opportunity, and playing well at the right time.

* comment not to be taken in any way as endorsement of Heal or his commentary.

Froling doesn't have the fluidity to his game to be a modern type of big and doesn't have the power to be a traditional big.

He'll be a good nbl player, but that's it. Laughable to compare him to Landale.

Exactly. They are nothing alike. For one, Froling ties his hair up in a knot at the back of his head, while Landale has some sort of kebab shop owner mullet going on. Totally different player.

Yes that's right, follow the principal, how many on here were brainwashed into thinking Adel could play. Say it often enough and it becomes truth.

Well Harry did have a chance but when season ended he gained a lot of weight and did terrible in his NBA summer workouts he lost everything ... had a little buzz after winning ROY

In my opinion, if you're going to make the NBA you are going to come in as an 18 year old or thereabouts and be able to make an impact against experienced NBL vets consistently. Not every game, but you’re going to have moments where you’re almost unstoppable. The only players in my time I’ve seen play at that level is Newley, Ingles, Mills, Penney, Dellavedova, LaMelo and Giddey. And Newley and Penney didn’t make the NBA for long and Giddey hasn’t yet.
