Ninja is back!!

And Ng is one of the last players that would ever be intimidated - he's calmer under pressure and makes better decisions than 90% of the roster.

Very happy that Darren is back - I'm a huge fan.

He needs to be utilised more.

Anon #318685, wrong Carter. I was talking about BJ.

Rhys and Ng play different games in different positions and are not really comparable.

I also suspect that Ng has more respect amongst NBL referees than he has in previous seasons. I was often surprised how often he was credited for drawing a charge from opponents. In previous season those calls were either blocking calls or no calls.

Anon, that's crap. Sydney won championships with Carter coming off the bench as merely a one trick pony spot up shooter, and he consistently contributed.

Ng is ten times the player Carter was.

Ng aint gonna win it by himself, but he is a good contributor and complimentary team player and will make this team better if the other pieces are in place.

Thats a very telling stat there Paul! Perhaps Ninja's injury had more impact on the team than I previously thought. Could be one in the mitigating circumstances column for Shannon.

Re the signing, I am happy with Ng off the bench, but would prefer a stronger guard as our starter.

As to keeping Ng and not Hill, it just comes down to the other signings. With Weigh and Creek signed there is just no room for Hill. He's a useful player, but I'm happy we are going with the former two next season.

Anon, he's still a few years from 30 at the moment. Some would call the 25-30 years the "Prime" years of a players career.

Great news. It's always handy having an elite shooter on the roster.
