Dragons vs Taipans pre-season game
The 36ers play the Dragons this weekend and the new Melbourne club features ex-36er Jacob Holmes and SA prodigy Joe Ingles.
They had their first pre-season hit-out last night against the Taipans and went down 104-115. The Dragons were missing Kavossy Franklin, Matt Burston, and Adam Quick.
Here are a few select quotes from those at the game. For more information, see this thread on OzHoops.
Ingels was good and a star of the futureCattalini had 33 and 9, Mee 13 and 8 assists.
Dragons import Todd Fuller had 26 and 5 in 31 minutes. Holmes 18/8/5 (nice line), Heal 11/4/5, Drmic 14 and 9.
he big surprises were Joe Ingles, Ash Cannon and Brent Hobba. Ingles will be a genuine star if he continues to improve. He finished with 15, 3 and 3 and also did a great defensive job. LONG arms....think Brad Sheridan with less muscle but WAY more talent.
Also Ingles has the making of a star for sure, his recent games with the AIS and tonights performace would have all Dragons fans pretty damn excited.If they gel, they should be dangerous. I also think people might be underestimating Cairns a touch.
