Rillie to Breakers

Sorry Isaac
Hadn't seen story about Breakers board looking at shakeup. The sooner they can move the better though. We're looking more like Melbourne everyday.

Storey Minutes
18.58 Cairns
23.41 Tigers
23.24 Sixers
15.41 Tigers
15.58 Hawks
17.15 Crocs
24.23 Sixers
14.10 Blaze
Average 18.34 minutes and Penney has been out as well for 5 games. That a bench player's minutes! What other No 1 import is playing those sort of minutes?
He averages 3.5 fouls per game.(topped only by Boucher and that is his job)
He might as well average 5 fouls a game if his body language is going to be tolerated.
The Crocs game aside he has been practically redundant.

As for Rillie.
He would have to make sure he didn't trip over Ronaldson, CJ, Oscar, Abercrombie and Webster trying to get a shot up.

Isaac, use him or lose him.

Storey was brought here to play defense (which he has had trouble with because of fouls, coaches call) and rebound, which to be fair he has done.
Agree body language. Even more reason to get rid of him. But if he's still here thats probably not going to happen.

As Paul pointed out he is our A import and presumably getting the big bucks for what.... not playing??

Last thing NZ Breakers need is another spot of shooter...

Totally agree Mystro, even if Penney is out, the last thing we need is someone else jacking it up.
Points in the paint have to be our strategic goal, whether that is by the existing players or an import doen't matter.
Storey either nets or brick from outside and he looks for it too often. In the Blaze game he posted up and drove to hoop and looked reasonable. Can't understand why he hasn't looked to do this more often. He is a good athlete
His main problem now though is he fouls too much.
Lemanis has jerked him around though. He takes him off with 2 or 3 fouls as if he has to be protected and then doesn't get back in games.
Having said that though, the team has benefitted by Boucher getting more time.

Penney may go on an injury waiver and Storey to the Airport, I'd try track an Import down and make it someone who isn't gonna stand next to the other 4 guys littered around the arc waiting to throw bombs up
