Unfortunately Brad Hill had an absolute shocker of a game tonight. Far too many turnovers at important stages of the game, and he just looked like he was forcing everything. You could tell by his body language that he was disappointed in the way that he was playing, especially when he was standing in the timeouts... he just had his head down the whole time. Hopefully he improves his game over the next week or two, because i cannot see him being much help to us this season if things dont change.

Other posts hit it on the head.

Was flying high after good games last season, then gets benched for most of this season.

No confidence = no hill.

Should have been ahead in the rotation.

Copeland was 0 of 9 from the field for the night.
Say no more

Hill must get more confidence from the coaches

It's worth realising that at nearly every point of the game, he was pressured by some very tough defense.

As with others, I'd rather see him battle out there than Copeland. More hope for the future, more ownership of a local player.

to develop he has to make those mistakes and learn from them but at the moment he has not been given the minutes. Also he might be forcing it due to him thinking he has to do it all in a few minutes as he get taken off after small stinks while copeland stinks the place up for long periods.

This season Brad is shooting just 23% having made 3/13 and only one of those was from outside the arc so he should be shooting better than that.

His assist to turnover ratio is 2/7 and that is not good enough for someone that is a combo guard.

So basically if he is a point guard in the making he needs to learn to control the ball and if he is a shooting guard he needs to learn to shoot.

I would hope everyone on the 36ers is given some 1 on 1 work outs.

If that's the case then that's pretty sad. I'd be interested to know if that really is the case.

Maybe that's something that needs to be put to Phil to get an answer.

Last year on the website some of the players answered questions, maybe we could get Phil to outline their practice schedule.

tce44, and what stops him from outright bending the truth? look at reality: the two top young players from last year left. the two top prospects from recent years signed elsewhere. if you are not hearing the real deal you are not talking to the people who know whats going on.

Tce44 remember those questions last time ? I found them on Google.

'We offered Joe the maximum contract the club could afford under the NBL rules for playing basketball. Joe was offered a spot in the team and the maximum money for a rookie for two years.'

Not true at all Joe was not offered the maximum at all. What faith does that give you ??

As with everything the truth quite often lies halfway between the two sides of a story.

I wasn't in the room when any contract negotiations took place with Joe, or when any verbal agreement was met and unless Joe or his agent is prepared to publicly state what occured then it is all ptretty much innuendo.

I have heard versions from both sides and while each varies in their accounts about what a hand-shake defines and so on, the things that both will say or admit is that he wasn't offered the max as stated by #101088 above, he never signed a contract with the 36ers, and one contract put to him had his name spelt incorrectly.

Mike Daws was CEO at the time. While he obviously supports the club's version of events more than that of the player/agent, he did not disagree with me when I spoke to him about it that Ingles was NOT offered the maximum rookie contract.

Can't remember specifics, but the coaches thought that the maximum deal was $40k over two years when I believe it is actually $40k per year. Something like that anyway. i.e., significant difference!

Is that good enough for you? I'm more believable than the agent anyway! ;)
