36ers development players

Johns was all star 5 and lead the league in assists. He also won his second premiership as captain. Ask any coach in the league I bet they take Johns over either of the 6ers guys.

Stats wise I’d barely say Johns did any better than Doyle let alone Teys.

Because of one game?

I would think Johns proved this year in PL that he’s significantly better than Teys.

I know Southern fans aren’t the smartest bunch but this is ridiculous.

Teys wasting a spot.

Not hating at all. He is a good guy. Doesn’t do much more than grab his own misses though.

“Akol is much taller than he looks, 6'4 is a stretch, he's at least 6'6”

He’s still rubbish. Forestville fan.

Interesting we keep persisting with Johns and Larkins as DPs, who clearly aren't ever getting a call up to the main team.

I don't think offering peanuts/nothing to DPs is that insane. There's a solid argument for pushing money towards the main roster and getting the club financial.

And if they're not paid positions, I don't think it's worth the time offering much criticism if it comes down to whoever is willing or able to train for free. Some people are living out of home, working, studying, etc and unable to fit that bill.

No money is offered to local dps, so unless you can live at home through the bank of Mum and Dad pretty hard for it to be a suitable choice for those returning from college at 22/23. The requirement to be at training/weights the same as a contracted player makes it pretty tough to have a job at the same time hence the locals are not our best players in the area.
Robateau is a solid get though, had a pretty decent QBL season.

36ers are one if not the only club that do not pay their DPs , this is prob one of the reason their identity is kept pretty quiet

Madden and sobey went to college for four years

Jawai went to college.

There are many routes to a professional career. College for many and then contract or DP. Best examples Madgen Sobey both spent times as DP's
Straight to NBL from AIS Newley Ingles Creek Jawai Hill now Grieder others?. many have short NCAA stints DJ, Wilson and now Frolig and McVeigh - many others. Just DP Adnam, Acouth? others? Having quality DP's adds depth to squad. Smith-Milner last year played a role in Melbournes success. Austalia produces great young basketballers. Adelaide could certainly do better in this area. Lack of energy in recruiting or resource or both?

Joey likely doesn't bother too much with local DP's because he recruits top young guys out of college instead.

To be honest, I'd rather he do that than try to develop DP's who probably won't make an NBL squad anyway. At best you would get a Doyle who really isn't up to NBL standard.

Sixers are a lazy organisation unfortunately.

Normally don't question Joey but having the likes of Hoffman and Akol there really is surprising. Not even average players in premier league and not prospects for nbl, Hoffman didn't even play last year and when given minutes he sucked for a team dying for contributions. Doubt he would make many other teams, bit of a kym Taylor.

Akol is only there to grab rebounds. Normally his own misses. Without checking stats I’m guessing he averaged about 8 missed layups and 8 offensive boards a game for Forestville.

Akol did play a great 5 mins in the PL final!

Akol Deng, a 6 4 power forward that can't jump

Jamaal Malieto or Jamaal Robateau?

McDaniel is a DP. Sure contracted but still a DP.

“Looks like he was 4th in scoring to me.”

No idea why I thought he was top. Still 4th isn’t too bad.

Looks like he was 4th in scoring to me.

Top scoring in the league = a combo of ok and crap. Wowee hard to impress

Hevwent ok against crap teams & poor against good teams!

How’d he go the rest of the season? But you’re right shit player because of one game haha

Sorry Larkins and Teys I meant.

Like I said I'm new...

Nah you’re right, Teys was a class above everyone in the Premier League grand final.

Joey usually has some Qld guys in as DPs.

Can you really have a go at those two when Larkins has been around for five years?

Purely from the eye test and being new to the NBL I would say Teys and Doyle?

Wayville 2 is a disgrace

Scoreboard broken for Masters

Scoreboard broken for Summer finals

No scoreboard at all for Easter Classic!

What would the Visitors to our Premier, BSA endorsed Easter Classic event think to pay and play with no scoreboard!

Surely BSA must be embarrassed by this, but then again it has been broken for nearly a year

BSA management hang your heads for poor management of this stadium
