Good point, and Barton. Looking at the NT I am not seeing that many guys with better than prodigious passing and defence. Why isn't Barton on the NT radar Whitebeard? Tyler Hare is there and he is a scrub!

Votes for players, I like it.

Hahi back on the team, or my vote goes elsewhere X(

Surely Jack Long deserves a call up again?

Bring back Gafa?

I'll stop spamming the thread now

Gafa only gets a call up if he starts over Leszek on your own team :)

I have a question for Lazz...

How will you have time for such a role like NT coach when you so busy with such tasks as being president of the Trent Cotchin fan club?? :-p

(anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about visit the afl thread in the Aussie bb forum)


In all seriousness though good to see you in a serious bb thread like this Lazz! During your 3 seasons what has been your preferred tactics to play and why?

Cheers mate. I'm closing in on your 1129 ;)

I don't mind if I have several assistants to divert the workload. However are you registered on the off-site forum though? Because I've done most of the scouting and maybe might have a look at a few superstar potential once the NTscout I'm using doesn't keep bugging up. Because of the player detail there, it will be easier to sort the workload in keeping player tabs from there and also allow the opportunity for you to post your tactical ideas as well.

Love Wazza as a player at club level, dislike him at NT level.

Here are some good and bad reasons about Wazza:
- Can guard pure SF effectively
- Does okay but sometimes get punished by SG playing at SF
- Gets pummeled by PF playing at SF
- Not bad at outside offence when playing against a PF otherwise unlikely to cause damage against SG/SF
- A liability going inside offensively
- Not quite as useful in the clutch situation because of poor FT ability otherwise would be great

Dell's pretty much in the same boat. Only survived because of a bit better in inside skills.

Of course, I would really like a pure SF in the NT like Wazza but with +1 to +2 in all his current skills. But at this stage with experiments using PF at SF has been far more effective than Wazza or Dell because of the game engine that favours inside offence.

Only got around scouting MVP+ because now a days you pretty much have to be MVP+ besides SF position to have a shot at the NT. Will look at Superstar once I can get the NTScout results. That's the only reason why Tyler Hare was even on the radar. At this stage unless there's drastic improvement to his guard skills, I'll say no he won't make the team. ;)

I've high expectations for PG. Not only do they need to be able to defend and pass, they also need to be able to shoot Js and drive the ball inside for layups and dunks. I'm not too keen on PGs who takes 8-10 shots per game and jacks up 30% at club level because that number would be even worse at national level. Oh and 16 outside defence is below standards, as most are 18+ already on the NT. Similar expectations for jump shot, driving and handling. The greener these skills are the better. Inside secondaries is a big bonus. So pretty much have to be 100k+ superstar guard to be on my radar.

At this moment we have a few PG that are fringe selections but honestly I rather play combo guards. They are more versatile as once you have PGs on the team and if the SGs are in bad gameshape then you are pretty much stuck with playing two PGs in the guard position which isn't that great.

I might bring Grigg back. ;)

On a serious note, only if we are desperate then Hahi has a shot.
