Team Ratings Part 3 - Perth Wildcats

Umm no. One of Perth's more effective final quarter line ups was with walker at the 4 and wagstaff at the 5.

One of the things I'm really liking is the possibility of 15 fouls at the 5 between Brandt, Kay and Jervis.

So your argument is Gleeson is a good coach because he's better than master coaches Anstey, Demopolous and Gaze. Weak bar level you've set there.

So your argument is Gleeson is better than master coaches Anstey, Demopolous and Gaze. Weak.

Kay, Wagstaff, Brandt and Jervis is an upgrade on their frontcourt last year but ultimately is one of the weaker frontcourts signed, relying on imports to get it done

I don't see them having too many issues with this line up. good mix of players

3rd import will be up the sleeve for any season ending injury (or lengthy injury). Highly doubt they replace Hire or Vague mid season.

They are trying to stick to the 5 under 490k rule or whatever it is, so replacing with an import inst going to help that

I guess if things go really bad for them they may change their mind on that, then have a larger bag of cash for less games than signing a 3rd import up front, but I'd guess they are more protecting against long term injury as imports are easier to find.

When the inevitable 3rd import is bought in, who gets the boot? Hire or Vague?

Again, the Wildcats going for two creators and a bunch of role players.

Not sure it will get done. We need another creator.

Great defense and rebounding but the offense is very underwhelming.

Melbourne, Adelaide, New Zealand, and Sydney will beat them badly.

AD it's called Bendat money.

Also his poor man management skills at the Tigers saw him booted via player revolt.

But keep cherry picking.

no way Gleeson is an F.
he's at least a G#.

I just checked the stats of Seoul SK Knights from last season and not sure where the 40% 3 point shooting comes from?
Unless it's a misprint he shot 31.9%, not 40, what is respectable on paper, but i'd say that the NBL is a better league, so...
White's strength it's his jump and drive, 55.9% from 2 point range, but playing as a 2 guard, going up to SF he might have problems in the NBL with that clip.
For the record, going by the stats, there were quite a few players with the same or better 3pts percentage, that shoots down the theory of "having Cotton will spread the court".
At the same time those are only numbers, from what i've seen from the clips he won't have trouble transitioning to the NBL.
Also people tend to forget that Kay has a very nice range for a big man, Perth will have lots of options they can use: you can have a Norton,Cotton, Wagstaff, Kay, Brandt lineup, that would very mobile both ends of the court with plenty of good outside shooters, personally i'd give an A rating to that frontcourt

coach rating: F (log)

And this is the ramblings of someone who thinks Bris & Cairns are wooden spooners?
They'll both finish ahead of Hawks & Adelaide!

Coach rating: C-
