Academy Selections
With all this talk of Halls / Woolacott, it got me thinking of which players are likely to be selected for the academy at the end of this season...
AFAIK, positions are
"Selected based on skill and athleticism, body type, maturity, coachability, understanding and knowledge of the game, work ethic and determination, sportsmanship, playing position, and a willingness to learn and improve."
I was just wanting to know whether perfoemnaces this ABL season are the only factor to take into account during the slection process. Also, is it only ABL coaches who have a say in who is chosen?
For example, Gerlach deserves a spot based on talent and the promise shown in past years. However, he has only played a handful of games this saeson. Would therfore someone like Braithwaite be chosen before him?
No doubt Gerlach is a better player but Braithwaite is leading the team in scoring and has played all games for the Tigers.
Furthermore, will someone like Mark Paget even though he very rarely hits the court on Saturday nights.
Surely there are going to be some changes made to the team, as it would most likely include Molitor and exclude players who have failed to put up numbers this year such as Mapunda, Reeves and Gange...?
Interested to hear other's opinions and any information on the general recruitment process.
