Hoops

Rampton wins POTW Rnd2

34 rebounds is a great effort but I think the context of the game and the way those rebounds/points whatever it may be are achieved also should be taken into consideration.

It seemed to happen too much last season that players that played 2 above average games won the award over someone who online played one but a pretty good one.

If the Hawks had one both games ok than there is some more backing his performance - How much of his points/rebounds were in junk time vs the Kings (That game was over real early - dont let the final score deceive you). Even if they went 1-1 but it was against a higher quality team than his stats would hold more merit.

Another set of pearly whites around the league soon?

Yes. You already show you are ignorant and dumb by making statements without the facts that he had played at North as junior prior to this most recent stint.

Now every other smart, high level prospect should and probably will make the same decision as he did, others will make and have made.

Over the coming few years there will be massive output of talent coming out of the club and playing in higher level programs, CoE/NBA Global/D1 NCAA/NBL. You can try and stop it by complaining you might even try and influence but it makes NO difference. What you say here WILL NOT stop what is going to continue to happen. This is simply because you, and also your statements here, have zero relevance to the endgame and outcomes.

High level players, with smart parents want proven success in player development and growth outcomes and provide real evidence of how that was achieved.

The North coaches and assistant coaches have the case studies, examples of athletes they've helped in multiple environments. The real-life stuff mate, the real examples. They have capabilities and networks to assist athletes, work directly with athletes to assist with their journey in many ways and have done so time and time again. They can do this in ways you simply cannot, because you don't know how, would not even know where to start and have zero credibility.

You can't avoid that smart parents and athletes will ask for factual information and details when the output is significant and they will provide it.

What you say here and infact what I say here is irrelevant to the real-outcomes that will continue to happen.
