Anonymous,

I will post it tonight on here for tomorrow's game (Southland vs Nelson).

Alternatively, if you access the NZ Herald website and go to Sport you will see the appropriate link floating somewhere in there.

Yes, paul, the starting 5's for the Rangers, Wellington Saints and Southland Sharks are quite unreal and very high quality. The talent and dept drops off considerably after that unfortunately.

Southland will probably put out:

Jordair Jett
Ev Bartlett
Tom Abercrombie
Nick Kay
Pledger

Now you can't tell me that starting 5 wouldn't be able to compete with the Sydney Kings, Townsville Crocs, Cairns.

Here's the link from last night. Pretty entertaining stuff. Consider the starting fives:

Wellington - Charles Jackson, Wesley, Henry, Craig, Ili (with Prewster and BJ Anthony off the bench)

Rangers - Terrence (import), Boucher, Te Rangi, Devendorf, Tait (Te Rangi was hot, for those bagging him the other day)

Watched the stream last night.

Was very impressed.

Didn't freeze/pause once in my 80 odd minutes of viewing. Quality was great. Commentary was good considering it wasn't TV.

Free and easy to access online through one simple click (no log in/signing up).

Games back to being streamed twice a week this season so should have a chance to check him out. Sounds promising

He shot 39% from 3 last season and hit 5 three pointers in a single game, 4 in another and 3 on two occasions.

But yeah, apparently he's a swingman, well look at the guys he would have been competing against- guys like Torrey Craig, Todd Blanchfield, Te Rangi, Prewster, Henry etc.

Haven't seen him play, but anyone putting up those numbers in the NZNBL has to at least be somewhere near the mark.

Know nothing about him, but love hearing about guys like this coming through.

Perhaps it is time for a second NZ franchise in the NBL...?

I'm more impressed this guy spent 10 days with the 36ers mid-season and it never became public knowledge.

I don't think we need to be getting any smaller though.

He is related to Kendrick Perkins of the NBA.

He is a better player than Prewster in my opinion. Have watched him and played with him for years.

He is a high-level shooter, extremely athletic, very strong and quick which makes him a great defender.

Good height at 6"5.

I would make the argument that he is better than Te Rangi.

Unfortunately, non-Auckland based players don't always get the same opportunities as Auckland-based ones, but they work just as hard if not harder. ER shoots 1,000 shots a day. Hardest worker I've known.
