Could Sobey be the next Goulding?

Agree, Sobey is a better all-round player. But we have enough of those already in th Boomers.
Goulding only got in for his shooting and creating off the dribble.

Sobey might be a better all around player than goulding right now. Great playmaking

I don't think Goulding would be able to do much for the the NBAEuro Boomers, let alone Sobey or any other NBL options.

We have too many NBA and elite Euro players, such as Exum/Ingles/Dellavedova/Mills/Broekhoff/Simmons (perhaps he'll eventually be a Durant style tall playing a guards role).

Boomers have at least 5-7 players filling 2 guards spots so players like Lisch/Goulding/Gibson/Martin/Sobey aren't going to get much court time, and at best one or two will be selected in a team of 12-16.

Certainly an impressive few games. Probably as good a 3 week tare as any Aussie guard has produced for a while.

Joey (as is his style) has obviously given Sobey the green light. It is the Joey way because his lack of system at either end solely relies on individual talent (the ones he gives the light to) creating for themselves and others. I also think that Drmic is suffering the opposite with Joey. He hasn't got the green light or a system which gives him a chance to operate to his strengths.

How Sobey transitions into a more structured system with a specific role to play when he gets a shot at the next level will decide his ceiling.

Sure fun to watch at the moment though.

If Sobey continues like this he will be at the next Boomers camp, without doubt. With the WC qualifiers in-season from next year on he will give himself a real chance if he continues this form.

32pts 8 rebs 5 asts 2 stls tonight. Doubt any Aussie guard (or any player for that matter) has put up those type of numbers since we went to 40 minute games. Special.

All-NBL Team in his past 2 seasons here qualifies as rather good I'd say.

Sobey wont be good enough for real Boomers consideration because there are too many people ahead of him. As for being the next Goulding, is Goulding rteally any good anyway?

I hope he continues to grow in the league, but I didn't think he was a serial flopper, so not like Goulding, no!

No.

He is very impressive. Should he be coming into boomers consideration if he keeps this up?

It looks like sobey is on track to be as good as cg43

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I guess someone is not a Sobey fan lol. Did he not sign a autograph for you or something...

Time will tell how good he can be. All is facts is when given time he has played well.

As for Steindl, I'd love to have him get an NBA tryout so he completely understands the work he has to put in to develop his game, I know that won't happen but imagine him coming back a far more complete player... The other night was atrocious for Steindl, he didn't look aggressive at all and at times this season it's hard to watch him be so pass orientated.

As for Sobey, I see him being a very good player and I would give him atleast 5 more minutes a game of Gibson's and his starting spot. Gibbo is shit and if he felt like he had to produce just to get minutes then you'd get more from him and Sobey so win win... Heck give him 10 extra minutes a game

Conveniently timed thread, during last night's game I thought he may develop into a Damien Martin type player

In a few years yes,at the moment he learning under Joey.

I don't think he's much like Goulding as a player, but I think there is a lot of potential in Sobey. His speed and hops make him an absolute live-wire on court and his ball-handling and reaction time seem very good too.

If he puts the hard work in over the next couple of seasons to get more consistent with his outside shot and his defence, I could see him being a real weapon.

Personally i think Sobey could be legit.

I think he is a guy who if you set him free and give him license he could show some serious game in the league.

A guy like Gliddon got a masisve opportunity up in Cairns and took it.

Present Sobey with an opportunity like that and I could see a similar but better climbing up of the ladder.
