Wiley = Trimmingham

Ah.... NO. Neon Trimmingham tomahawk - 10 times better player, without flexing and screaming every time. Now Froling copies him and flexes and screams on every lay-up.

Trimmingham was right around the era I started coming to Kings games regularly so I'm as big a fan of his as anyone else, but would an uber-athlete from Briar Cliff University do as well in today's NBL? Not to disparage one of my favourite players when growing up, but agree with some of the comments above - it's a different game today. Wiley is maybe the modern equivalent of a guy like Trimmingham "back in the day".

No way at all.

For mine, Trimmingham the more atheletic, Wiley, the stronger but both finish at the rim similarly.

Great comparison! Similar strengths and limitations offensively, although Wiley definitely has better range at the same point of their careers. Similar disdain for the rim though.

Defensively, yes

Wiley = Carrera

Wiley is a DICKHEAD because he has joined a team full of DICKHEADS which is why Conger is regretting signing for Adelaide.

Trimmingham was a better player but I thought the same exact thing last game watching Wiley how much he reminds me of Trimmingham.

Wiley is way better at flexing and pointing to his muscle.

Oops bad topic

I didn’t mean to say they were equal players

Just that they have similarities

I used to watch the Kings a lot back in the day and agree they have a lot of similarities. I noticed it in the Adelaide vs Cairns game.
Both extremely explosive and mobile with decent size and similar skills

Did anyone watch the Opals V Brazil game tonight?
If this is what we are dishing up only a short time out from an Olympics, we could be in strife. Our point guard play is a worry. Harrower struggles with quicker guards, despite her class. Richards isn't big enough nor does she have the handles or offence to really dent other teams. Macleod is a battler, but is physically too small and that will be found out in international play. Cambage is horrible at defending drivers from the elbow or perimeter and can't deal with defending screen and rolls. Her body language is still a tremendous concern, she was boxed out late in the game and sling tackled her player intentionally to the floor then soon after ran down the floor asking for the ball and when it didn't come because of pressure, she dropped her shoulders and rolled her eyes, stopped being a target and gave a half hearted attempt to get a rebound on the same play. O'Hea, Snell and Batkovic all belong. Bishop sits in between Cambage's immaturity and Jackson's determination. Hodges and Screen are role players and some would question what they add to the group, taking the place of others who could step in and contribute the same things with a better set of skills.

I do realize there's no Taylor and that Jackson sat out, but our group and the lack of sharpness is a worry if this is what we're dishing out and have our eyes set on a gold medal. Am I over-reacting? Or are others worried as supporters by what they saw tonight?
