What now for the Breakers?

The thing that would concern me most as a Breakers fan is where are the young Kiwis coming through? Abercrombie and Webster seem to be treading water. Ili is fine, an average PG, he just needs to find a deep ball, but at least he doesn’t overplay his hand. Long is a good pick-up, it just seems from the little I’ve seen of him he either hasn’t adjusted to avoid fouls/doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt (like everyone’s favourite player, Andrew Bogut - I’ll let you decide if it’s the former or latter). The Breakers of old had the benefit of the best homegrown talent. But we’re seeing old faithfuls like Vukona, Pledger, or even Rob Lowe’s hair, going elsewhere. Delaney and Weeks are solid bench players. Moore and Richard seem disappointing.

Good summary Anonymous.
Poor shooting leads to losing touch on scoreboard and creates more pressure.
Defensively, we show little intensity and absolutely no desperation. We leak points, again creating a catch up scenario.
Abercrombie, Delany, Moore and Richard are all basically the same player type. But collectively still underperform.
Webster and Richard as 2's are grossly out of touch.
Majok does not seem to have a role. Appears and mostly disappears for no reason.Don't understand why he and Long could not play at the same time. Long is pretty reliable

In all honesty, isn't Webster supposed to be a star? He's the one that disappoints me most.

When he is "on", no doubt about it, but it's much too infrequent that he is on his game. Even then, his contribution is all about offence. At his best, he seems a defensive liability.

Having Ili as your starting PG was never going to be successful, keep Long though!
