If Teys is shooting 30 you know how shit Premier League is.

Wasn't nearly as effective the week before against the best D in the league.

I think a lot of guys could have 30 vs Mavs.

If an AFL player had 40 touches in the SANFL I guess it'd be a shit league too.

Wise only had two boards against Southern from memory.

Problem is Teys isnt AFL/NBL quality.

I forgot he wasn't in the NBL. My bad.

So is Nelson Larkin

You've got me there

What did Larkins average in PL? I didn't follow that closely last year but his side just missed finals from memory?

Larkins averaged:
11 points
40% FG
37% 3P
3 rebounds
3 assists
3 T/Os

And Centrals finished 3-15, one game off bottom spot.


Quick Joey, sign him up before anyone else does!

What. A. Joke.

He's been a development player for five seasons now

What did other DPS avg? Johns had a good game this week but what's he averaging? Is he better than Larkins? Better than Teys?

Check Tyson Hoffman PL stats.

If you follow Larkin's family line and history you'd understand how he stays around Joey

Don't think it’s much of a secret his surname keeps him in the team. Sure isn’t his basketball ability

South Australian kids should get the training or development opportunities not just Joeys mates. That being said it shouldn't be an open invitation forever, if you aren't putting in or doing well at PL then the spot should go to someone that is.

Do the 36ers have anything like the Lightning Academy?

Sam Johns avging 19.7ppg, 7rpg, 6.7apg

Brendan Teys avging 26.5ppg, 6.5rpg, 0.5apg

Centrals were a joke last year, speaking of nepotism when the coaches son plays major minutes and is a 18s div 2 player at best you know there's something fishy. No wonder Carlin, Clausen and plenty of others left or quit. Ricky's finally starting to clean up that mess. Former Australian junior reps are playing youth league div 2s and social players playing reserves it's a wonder anyone stayed.
And Joeys got a pretty good record in discovering talent from DPs BTW.

#684192 that question has been raised many times previously! Use Brett Maher as an ambassador like the Lightning have Rachel Sporn and create a 36ers Academy or youth squad. I cant see how hard it would be and would create a great pathway for the SA kids. If they end up going to college at least they have a previous connection with the 36ers organisation and may return.
Come on Joey and big Joe do something thats positive and has a direct connection with the South Australian basketball scene.

684263, trust me they do. They may not be doing with wholesale scale that is highly visible. With the ones that are legitimate prospects they do. It is not their job to support all and sundry and when they do people complain here anyway.

These guys are ontop of it with the top tier talent, they also privately work with some coaches in the men's state program to monitor and support the local talent that come in for trainings, workouts and are supported in other ways.

I guess if DJ ever actually plays and just chucks up 3s like he did last time Johns will deserve some of his minutes too?

Have only seen Johns play once this season but was impressed. Obviously there's a huge gap between the league but I think you could do worse than sign him as a 10/11th man. In fact I think we have done worse by signing Doyle to that role!

Who else would you look at as young players for a 36er academy? Ben Carter, Patty Thomas?

Why does Johns get ignored by NBL?

Joey didn't know his dad.

Good player, but NBL? Really??

Needs to that at least do that at SEABL, a tougher, more even and competitive league.

Then maybe can be in the discussion. Right now in a pissant league, in a dominant team that will easily win every week.

Easy to put up big numbers in a team like that when you are winning by 20 pts plus week in and out.

Aren't they winning by 20 BECAUSE of him?

Won player of the week so he may have had something to do with it.

*BSA's relationship with Starling changed from together to its complicated*

You don't think Starling deserved his two?
