Seen him a couple of times and quite impressed. Hits open shot, takes it to hoop OK. Defence is poor though, but he seem to be reasonably athletic and quick withit. There doesn't seem to be any reason why he couldn't play decent D but he seems to get beat easily.

who exactly did Magden dominate Confused? Pretty sure he just knocked down some open shots and a couple of contested ones. Don't get me wrong, he did play well, but he didn't dominate anyone. Oh and he lost, again.....

Madgen looks like a guy with some ability to me. Has not put many NBL runs on the board yet (apart from tonight's game) but looks a lot more assured than most rookies and I think could be a pretty good scorer by next year if given the mins this season.

I actually think he plays a little like Brett Maher. Without being an outstanding athlete, he's still quick enough and tall enough, has solid handles, can shoot from anywhere, can drive to the basket well enough to keep defences honest, never seems to force it or rush himself, finds good position on offence, plays decent D and - if you watched tonight's game - competes hard when his back is against the wall.

Now that I have seen him I wish the Sixers had signed him instead of any of 2 or 3 of our current players.

Good player indeed. Have to remember he is playing for the Kings though. You wouldn't expect to see him get anywhere near his current MPG at any other club in the comp.
