Most Entertaining NBL player?

Just wondering to see who people think is the most entertaining player in the NBL currently?

I'm going to throw Jerai Grant out there, he makes Sydney exciting to watch. Go check out Sydney's highlight videos on the NBL's youtube channel to see what i mean. Sydney V Perth from last round has two great dunks from him.

Most entertaining to watch or most entertaining to listen to?

Grant does do some good things when he is on.

Deleon, Grant, Chris Warren, Walker, Abercrombie, Jackson, Catron & i like watching Aaron Bruce when he's switched on. No Perth player really excites me..

Now that Patty Mills has gone on to bigger things I would say DeLeon with Jerai Grant a close second.

DeLeon seriously destroyed Ng & Creek on a couople of moves on the weekend.

Cedric Jackson, guy has the ball on a string and finds another gear with ease. Even with his ankle issue over the last couple of games he has been exciting.

Seriously destroyed? Deleon hit a contested three on Creek where the commentators noted that Creek had done all he could.

Against Ng, Deleon got him with one hesitation move. On his other two drives, Ng blocked him once, and Deleon forced up a bad shot that missed on the other.

Dribbling around a lot without scoring is not quite "destroying" even though it looked like he was in control.

Yeah I'm not that impressed by Deleon either...

Oh, I was impressed by him - he is very talented, hit his shots, didn't force anything - just didn't think he destroyed anyone in particular. More so "just" had a strong, all-around game.

I am going to say Diamon. Reason is that he hustles, crashes the glass, plays solid d and looks to block shots whenever he can and also dunks at every opportunity

He has a lot to offer the purist fan as well as the highlight real fan

Jerai Grant

I like watching this bloke when he's on the court. His hops and athletism is amazing.
However sometimes the Refs wreck it for him and call soft fouls on him reducing his minutes.

But when he's on, he's lovely to watch.

Muzz, I was going to say the same thing. I enjoy watching the hard-working player who gets his numbers as much or more than the slick handles. I also find it interesting to watch DJ's confidence grow on offence. And I find Ng entertaining.

I might have some uncommon, puzzling choices - in Wollongong, R Martin (coach-killing freelancer) and Davidson (never know when he'll blow that fuse). In Sydney, another Martin (quietly goes about it). At Gold Coast, Petrie. Goulding is OK too, but a bit easy to dislike despite his game. Schenscher. Redhage is clunky, but I admire his instinct. D Martin you have to respect. Triple-Martin - what do I win?

Adris for me!

Agree with Ng too. Love that suspense in the Dome crowd when you can tell he's about to get an open look. Love watching Catron too.

I enjoy watching Tovey and Bruce, both can be very creative. It's a long list though I think. Khazzouh can do sme very impressive things for a 6'11 guy, as can Johnson - his full court move against Gold Coast was special.

Most of the import PGs are great to watch. Harvey when his shot is on, not to mention Goulding. Im starting to feel a bit Bruce McAvaney-ish!

paul, I was reading that internally in a Bruce voice before I even got to the last line. Must've seen the name subconsciously.

Could have been the use of the word SPECIAL!

Grant definately. Sitting on Redhage's head and almost putting Matt Knight on a poster, unfortunately missing the dunk. Also Andrew Warren when he is on, very smooth looking jump shot. Gotta emphasise, 'when he is on'.

At the moment Diamon.

He would go through a brick wall to get a rebound. I love his relentlessnessness.

Also gotta admire Worthington. Was not blessed with much bar height, just works hard at lots of different things.

I watched the Sydney vs Melbourne game on Monday. The imports for the tigers can throw down some very impressive dunks e.g. One of them did a 360 alley oop dunk and the other did a windmill dunk with ease. These players could be very entertaining if they put these skills into a game!
