Great player, great bloke. Probably got screwed over by being naive to fans with hidden agendas!

a while before he got sacked by Cairns, he was involved in an unsavoury incident (not alcohol related as he doesn't drink) that brought his commitment to a community owned/values club into disrepute. The full details never got published to allow Deba to reflect and still get a bball job elsewhere (exact details have been hard to get a hold of). When the incident came to light from an associate of the club, he was released the same day.

When Deba wanted to, he could ball no question. But when his mind wasn't right or he didn't feel like it, you could see his efforts were half arsed - not the kind of thing an NBL level player does. He gets his attitude right and works had he could play the impact role - otherwise he would turn the ball over and take low % shots against the game plan. At a SEABL level you can get away with it but not at NBL level.

Same thing can be levelled at Kerry Williams, but he has picked his socks up and worked for his final shot at an NBL career. Plus Shaun Bruce is learning and waiting to take up the backup pg role and in my opinion better than Kerry at this point in time even though he lacks experience.

Deba George just finished the SEABL season playing down in Tassie for the Hobart Chargers. He is an Awsome player and Awsome bloke. Unfortunately has a bad off court history but far out he can play. Finished the season averaging 16 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists at 40% shooting. Very entertaining player who has unbelievable hops!
