Casey Prather is done
One week is a long time in Prather basketball career. He’s hardly played in two years. Only played a third of the season in the United premiership.
Where to now???

The league has improved from when he dominated, still a solid player, but I wouldn’t expect him to takeover.

A few good points made, Barlow was done a few sessions ago and got up and running again, though starting to slow now. Prather would be on a lot more money than Barlow is so that might swing decisions.


Yes. ;)

He's exactly what they need IMO - a guy who gets to the basket rather than sits on the perimeter popping threes. They should ride it out while he gets in shape.

Not done, just recovering from all the tall poppy syndrome we still see on here!
Seriously though, he is still right up there, also if he ever wants to stay and have a winter here, we will have him at Geelong Supercats in the NBL1 for a season any day...

Prather played little in United premiership season, great GF after returning on the bench for the two game semi final, never got on in Russia, and been barely on court this season, winced badly I noticed early when he got hit. I thought he looked like a player with a bad back. Have Melbourne got time to keep him, who knows. If they get wins he’s probably safe but to many games like the weekend he could be out at least till next season.

Prather looked good in pre season by all accounts
Writing him off now is foolish

The most important factor in play is probably that MUMare a bit behind Kings. They can’t carry an injured Prather and compete with Sydney, but is there a guaranteed better option out there?

I thought Casey looked really impressive in the preseason games but not sure what’s going on now.

Prather and Barlow both look a lot slower, father time for Barlow and injuries for Prather. Even in United premiership season Prather played little till the GF.

Settle down Noufy. You’re acting like the refs didn’t gift Melbourne the game against Sydney the first time and the most recent game against SEM...
