Why does he keep getting picked????
Given he can shoot the ball when he's hot but when he's cold he's got nothing.
Many other young shooting guards that are better players than this guy, Ryan Broekoff, Anthony Drmic etc.
He isn't even palying well in the Queenslad State League so really don't understand the facination with him????

You answered your own question in the 2nd line. Purely for his shooting ability.

He's also fairly athletic as seen on a couple of monster put back dunks last season. I rate Blanchfield higher.

I also prefer Blanchfield, and I tend to think he should be still in the mix for a Boomers spot.
I would pick Goulding as a flat out shooter over both

I like Steindl and have been happy he's been selected for Australis but I think it's time to show some real development in his game as Blanchfield is younger and more advanced, or the fascination with him needs to stop.
I'd like to see an Andrew Parkinson type pure shooter work with Steindl and Blanchfield purely on the shooting aspects of their game and getting open looks and working off screens etc.
Hopefully we can look back on this off season as the time that both players took their games to worthy of Boomers contention.
As for Goulding, love him but he is an out and out shooting guard and playing him in any other position could be detrimental to the team where as Steindl isn't quick enough to play at the 2

I wouldn't get too worked up he gets picked for Sino series and training camps that's all. Drmic was injured recently and our top level guys were overseas.
