Ervins effect on other crocs

Maybe Ervin was driving less and taking more jumpshots because he had Osteitis Pubis. Btw does Peter Crawford handle the ball much at NBL level? I don't watch much Crocs but I've never seen him run a pick and roll in my life.

Also agree with Mick. If anything, PC should be able to play more efficiently since he'll be relied upon less to make plays for others, slashing to the basket or running the pick&roll.

I think Ervin's effect might be overstated in terms of Townsville's record, however. Towards the end of the his MVP season, teams had scouted him enough to take the drive away and force the jumpshot. He had the ideal scenario in Wollongong with good court spacing and shooters at every position, but couldn't earn them a playoff berth.

Townsville should battle for 3rd/4th with Cairns depending on Adelaide's ability (and willingness) to play defense.

Ervin will make them so much better if Woolpert is half the play-drawing wizard he is made out to be. They have covered all areas on paper. The spot up shooters will have a field day getting open looks from Ervin's constant pressure. Having bigs who can legitimately step out to 15+ feet and knock down with regularity (Schenscher couldn't) will free up the key, and oh it's just going to be a magic year for that team. I'm a Taipans supporter but I hope the Crocs do some damage, not too much.

Agree with Mick Gill was up and down everyweek while Ervin will be better consistant scorer,teams will shut down ervin and will open up PC to shoot
