New Zealand v Dongguan

I agree Paul that 14 turnovers in 40mins isn't that bad for NZ but the Chinese capitalized on them and turned a lot of them into points and probably making it a lot closer than what it needed to be.
Vukona and Lazare were among the worst offenders but I expect those two to be among the teams best by the time the season rolls around.

Breakers still have plenty of outside threats with Abercrombie, Corletto, Webster & Bruton all deadly opening up the lanes for Pledger, Vukona & Lazare

Yeah, the Breakers have been the type of high-risk high-team.

Their turnovers haven't been a problem for the past 3 seasons because they had/have guys like Vukona, Braswell, Ced and Boucher who have generally gotten back just as many, if not more, than what the team have up

Mika Vukona fouled out in under 17mins, but was defending Greene.
Darnell Lazare ended up playing just over 23 mins and had 4 fouls and Truman played 10mins as backup to Pledger who played just shy of 30mins.
Pledger and Truman managed a pair of fouls between them.
No Breakers had any foul issues apart from the PF's who had Greene to deal with so maybe they will not struggle to make the appropriate adjustments defensively after all.

Really liked the Freethrow stats. 4x Breakers shot 100% from the stripe (Webster 2/2, Abercrombie 10/10, Lazare 3/3 and Pledger was 4/4) and only Vukona shot 50% (3/6) and Kerron Johnson went 8/12.

Breakers just need to cut down on the turnovers (14 for the game).

Breakers much better adjusting defensively thus far.

Abercrombie is been very aggressive. Certainly benefiting from the new way the game is called. Been to the FT Line plenty of times!

Kerron Johnson looking like a good pick up, shoots at a good clip and 5 assists so far and 3 rebounds is good.

At the game!

Greene is going nuts.

Vukona using his strength very well against much physically weaker opponents.

I know its only pre season but am a bit concerned about what impact Bruton will have this year.

Limited minutes and impact tonight thus far. Not sure if thats a plan or whether his knees arent entirely healthy.

Webster looking nice once again. Similar to Goulding in that he can really create his own shot (1 dribble pullup) easily.
