Melbourne United sign Peter Hooley

Hooley athletic?

Hooley is more of a combo guard, more athletic.

Why did they sign Hooley over him then?

1. There is only 8 teams, so no need for what ifs.
2. He averaged 6 a game in the BBL which is not the great.
3. There are many players that have been the beneficiary of injuries to others, from Corban Wroe, to Isaiah Tueta and more. Hooley was the 4th choice for this position after Sobey, Webster and Dillon (Injured).
4. It will be a be step up, and he may be ok, but only time will tell. If he doesn't play well, he will fall in the Melb Utd heap with Odigie, Hadziomarovic, Tomlinson.
5. Next year there are quite a few talented college kids coming out, so play well or it will be curtains.

Plymouth Raiders were an all-you-can-eat buffet for Australians.

Re: BBL

Not sure if signing to be the backup of the player coach is a good idea.

Hooley dooley

"The British league was where Julius Hodge's playing career ended, got sacked for numerous misconduct related incidents. Hardly surprising his career ended that way in a mickey mouse league."

How is Julius Hodges' conduct a reflection on the BBL?

Libertine you've lived in a lot of places!

Speaking of British pro basketball I was watching the Irish pro league for a bit of a laugh, and yeah... wasn't a whole lot better than our local social league.

People like to mock the NBL but in the scheme of things we're extremely lucky!

Peter Hooley is the beneficiary of an injury to Daniel Dillon. Nothing more, nothing less. He's good, but 6ppg in the BBL, meh

I watched alot of BBL games in 2011 when I lived in Leicester. The standard was somewhere in between SA ABL and NBL.

A number of the clubs had decent European passport players who didn't count as imports.

Adelaide spelled his name wrong.

I wouldn't have called it walking out on Plymouth with all the other stuff that was heard to have gone on up there with the coaching staff and team...

After a successful trip away with the kings and an MVP of the tournament in China I think a kings offer was bound to happen.

Hears he had 2 Solid offers from kings and united. Will work hard for his minutes,
Like any rookie. Good on him, well deserved!

Remember when a BBC investigative journalist came on here to help in exposing the fake coach of Plymouth? LOL memories :)

He walked out on Plymouth, wasn't getting game time. Kings offered a contract as well I hear but took Melbourne offer, couldn't see game time at Kings.

Corletto was the coach so he took all the shots, mvp doesn't mean much then. Good move to get young australian talent back into the league

I think Darryl Corletto and his mate scammed coaching credentials over there as well.

The BBL is a pretty poor league so that doesn't bode well. I think Darryl Corletto was MVP there.

2016-2017: Plymouth University Raiders (United Kingdom-BBL): 11 games: 6.0ppg, 1.6rpg, 1.2apg, 2FGP: 42.9%, 3FGP: 29.7%, FT: 65.2%

I don't think 6 points per game equates to dominated

Did really well in the English pro league too! Dominated I heard.
