Blaze Roster Analysis

I'd look at swapping Goulding round with Harvey and bring Harvey off the bench.

Gibson/Goulding backcourt is rather good. Think Harvey is burned out; I agree with Ankles that his ability to make his own shot is lapsing. He can still hit a set shot and is good at mid range; but Goulding has the versatility. Consistency comes with more experience.

From the other side of the coin:

Gibbo has stalled in the past two years and if anything has lost a step. Cadee (who I am a fan of) is yet to prove he is fully recovered and capable of delivering at NBL level on a conistent basis.

Harvey can't create his own shot, is injury prone and is a defensive liability and while Goulding is an undoubted talent, has failed to do much with that talent since moving to the coast - has spent too much time working on post-game celebrations and not enough on a consistent jump shot.

Worthington is a bully-boy who when he plays as a role player is an MVP candidate, when he plays as a star, he forces shots and bitches to the refs, and an Import's money would be wasted here as anybody who can talk the coach into using Kendall as a stop-gap measure at point guard wont be giving up minutes any time soon.

Petrie will again be a stud IF he has been able to fully rehabilitate his Achilles (which is a slow process) and Hoare, while an excellent back-up is another year older and slower.

Garlepp is an excellent back-up but the Centre better be a go-to guy who can score because there's not a lot of consistent production in that group.

Joey is yet to convince me he can coach anything other than an absolutely all-star caliber group and this group isn't good enough to run itself.

Can't see them beating Perth, Cairns have lost some talent but Fearne seems to be finding his coaching feet, NZ will be tough again, Towsnville will contend again, Sydney seem to have moved forward and if Adelaide get Ervin, they'll take a big step forward. Tough to find a top 4 spot for them in that lot.

Blaze were very unlucky last season with all the injuries that had to deal with. If they can all stay healthy I expect them to make the playoffs. Great team to watch.
