Ben Allen breaks finger, in doubt

I wonder if the Crocs will consider Greg Vanderjagt again?

Having him as Big Red's backup would be a lot better than having Allen IMO. Even though they only got him as an injury replacement GV had actually begun replacing Allen as the starting centre until Schenscher returned early.

Is Helliwell on a 1 or 2 year contract here in Adelaide? If its only 1 I would be seriously looking at Vanderjangt as DJ's backup rather than Helliwell for next season, um, providing we can keep DJ that is. Helliwell will be lucky to get picked up by another NBL club after his performances here this season and for the Tigers last year, unless its the rumored new Melbourne team.

LC - fully agree that Ben Allen had more impact than Lucas Walker.

I still reckon his success was largely on the coat-tails of Samhan, because when Samhan wasn't on the court then Allen struggled to make an impact.

Allen had a far greater impact at SMC than Walker ever did hoopie! Walker's collage career was solid at best, but I tend to think of his experience as more of a role player providing some solid minutes off the bench - at least that is how it ended. Allen finished his college career as a starter...

Also, quite a few D2 college players have gone onto good things - Worthington, Barlow, Madgen & Cooper etc...

Allen & Walker are good examples of why you can't asume that on okay college career will make you a success in the NBL.

They were pampered by having Patty and Omar take the heat, and have been a serious disappointment since.
