I think everyone knows what I mean when I say utter dominance. They are streets ahead of the rest of the league (consistent performance on and off the court) and I say it with respect and admiration. Just not sure what the rest of the league (including front office) can do to catch up.

Utter dominance kind of went out the window in that post-Christmas period, season had to be rescued by some ironclad home finals performances.

Our utter dominance? ... wait, which team landed a three-peat, again?

Wrong, their utter dominance is making the league look like a joke.

It's massive.

Imagine if last season didn't happen. And we went straight from Kevin Lisch to Daniels.

People would loose their shit and be over the moon.

We got lucky and were spoilt by Ennis last season. He was everything a fan could hope to see.

Now that we've seen that we look at Daniels and think "he's not as athletic. Not as flashy. Doesn't look as strong finishing in the lane etc".

We gotta rememebr out of all the NBL imports he's still going to be the one with most potential and credentials.

He's also playing along side Beal who finished 5th on All Star voting. With the top 3 no longer in the league I think.

Wildcats are still solid.

The main diff with Ennis to Daniels is how he fits in the rotation and affects redhag wags and knight. Daniels is a NBL 4. But the raptors want him to develop into a SF. So part of the deal is he'll play minutes at the three and work on his game as a 3 man.

This should be fine. But there maybe a risk that he just can't play the three spot and becomes too much of liability. I doubt that'll happen. But it may cause some problems for the team rotations as a whole.

I think the wildcats system will help him bulk and and get stronger. Playing against Martin everyday at training will also prepare him well.

Beal will also bring in a new component having played a season and now has more knowledge and experience about the league and australia under his belt.

Fan perception will be tough from casuals. They are gonna miss the entertainment and swagger of Ennis. But as long as we win and Daniels puts up big numbers and is a game changer the support will continue.

Daniels all round game is more polished than Ennis was when he arrived.

The 2014/15 wildcats are championship contenders. But they no longer have the pressure of needing to win a championship.
