United Debut Year
As the season gets to the pointy end and United looking more likely to miss the playoffs by the day how do we gauge their debut year?
I'm really disappointed and I didn't have unrealistic views of a flawless season but so many areas which continually hold the team back.
Player attitude, coaching and lack of execution in the half court is exactly the same as the Anstey era with McRae the new Goulding.
Dennis showed he was elite prior to the injury and just doesn't play enough as the teams primary PG.
The offseason will see another standard Melbourne swag of sweeping changes and the first chip to fall is Goorjian back.
They need somebody who demands excellence and won't put up with rubbish.
Billy Tomlinson link will see Nate stay but with Dennis contracted and a real need for a genuine centre unless they get an Aussie centre to help Kickert then the two spot looks very bare.
Corletto, Walker, McRae, McMillan all out with likely promotion for Patton is my tip. Odigie has shown progress in sporadic mins although needs to stay healthy and develop offensive game in SEABL this offseason.
Melbourne basketball needs this team to succeed and Goorjian is the only person who can deliver it not in the league presently that is a known commodity.
