I'm not sure about how he'll go in a pure win/loss sense, but you can tell why the owner was excited, because the kid has speed and athleticism and can get upstairs. He could prove to be an absolute live-wire in terms of entertainment, the sort of person that will bring members through the door.

I like him, though the choices seem strange for Gordie, he may have a hard time keeping Carson and Ervin on the same page as everyone.

Will definitely cause problems with that speed, but potentially more with the drive and dish given the team-oriented defense of the NBL. You would want to be very aware of where players like Oscar Forman are when he is driving.

OK, maybe Hawks won't miss Martin so much...

Mystro, dare I say Geordie won't be putting Carson and Ervin in situations defensively where their lack of size could be exploited by a simple post up. I can't even remember the last time the Hawks were a traditional half court man-to-man side.

Up-tempo will certainly be on the cards for the hawks with athletic guards, shooters and a lack of rebounders beyond Gruber. Expect some combination of traps, presses, delayed presses and probably Geordie's favored matchup zone.

The Hawks expect to be exciting if nothing else.

In yet another major addition to the upcoming NBL season, the Wollongong Hawks have grabbed the super quick Jahii Carson to booster their squad.

The talent for imports this year is crazy
Wilbekin
Conklin
Gladness
Childress
Carson
Ervin
Dennis
Jackson
Beal
Daniels

Look at it a guy like Conklin is about average for an import this year!

"going to be fun to watch and other teams are going to really struggle to defend him with that speed"

or he'll get trapped a lot like Kerron Johnson last season or guys like Cedric Jackson will just post him up everytime

Logan Thunder guard Sarah Graham has been named the Nivea Player of the Week for Round 17 of the Australian Defence Force Women's National Basketball League.

The 19-year-old inspired the Thunder to their second win over the Adelaide Lightning on Friday night, 75-70.

Graham led all scorers with 19 points including three-of-five from 3-point range, and grabbed six rebounds in front of a raucous home crowd at Insports Cornubia Park.

Slim pickings from the Lightning with these two scraping into the noteworthy list:

Adelaide Lightning: Tracy Gahan was one rebound off a double-double in Logan posting 13 points and 9 rebounds in Townsville she posted 11 points and 6 rebounds. Jessica Foley scored 13 points and 4 rebounds against the Fire and 12 points and 5 rebounds against the Thunder.

Ex-Lightning player Lauren King had 22 and 6 and Deanna Smith had 19 and 4.
