Premier League Round 3

Mavs vs Southern Tigers
Mavs stepped up the competitiveness last week vs South & are on the verge of a win I'd say, particularly if Rios is in this week. Southern had a solid home win after a tough first half last round. Wise vs Southerns imports will be interesting, though Wise might be the best 5 man in the league early in the season.

Southern to sneak a win in Mt Barker but it'll be under 10 if Rios plays.

Sturt vs West
Sturt with a good win vs Forestville but their import would want to do better than 5/23 if he is to avoid "flop of the year" tag. Meanwhile West look like a well oiled machine & Legan might be the best shooter the league has seen. Too much firepower & chemistry on this West side. I can't see many teams getting near them.

West to keep rolling with a double figure win.

Centrals vs Norwood
Norwood took a tough L in round two against a good side but I believe will suit two imports this week, the bigger one could be the best 4 in the league I'd say. Centrals look to be improved this year & will challenge for finals, but could struggle against a veteran Norwood side.

Norwood by 11

North vs Forestville
The Rockets would be disappointed with last rounds second half but would feel confident their best is capable of mixing it with the best teams. Once their imports are in shape they have a track record & will be the best 1-2 punch in the league. Big questions over who will suit up for Forestville this week & how sore their heads might be. Import Jalen Richards might want to turn down a few more shots this week with better teammates around! Forestville would want to start getting some Ws on the board.

Forestville by 6 (pure guess depending on who suits)

Woodville vs South
Perry is making his claim for best new import in the league with strong early season performances. Osborne still finding his feet. Two teams with finals aspirations but neither team play anyone taller than 6'4". Battle of the guards will be important & Souths new import Ivory Young had a day out vs Mavs but Eian Davis appeared quiet. If both South imports fire at once they'll be tough to beat.

South by 2

Wise best 5 man??

firstly his stats are against Centrals and South 2 teams that are not top 4 in the league
second against 2 middle pack teams he leads the league in Turnovers, 3rd in fouls, 1st in FGA
in his first game he took more shots than the rest of the starters combined
if your able to shoot the most and turn the ball over the most then you should be leading the league in just scoring

Ben Carter is higher on my list than WISE! higher fg%, more rebounds, less tos, less fouls

Norwood's McGriff best 4 man, what's that based on. Up there with your analysis of Wise as the best 5, better go to Specsavers

To be fair, Garth was pretty close to a triple double. Jalen Richard would be much closer to flop of the year at this stage. 11/32 in one game and got ejected in the other.

Based on McGriff in college averaging 22 and 10. Didn't see him last night but had 26 on debut in Reserves. Only question will be if the Webber’s pass to him enough.

Re Wise I haven’t seen him play but his raw numbers are good and the inefficiency could be due to the Mavs not having much around him until Rios arrives.

Who are better at the 4/5 spots?!

McGriff didn't play at North Carolina, it was an NAIA school. Hardly impressive against a bad centrals reserves team last night, and he would only be about 6 5.
And have seen Wise play, slow and terrible on defence. Yes, they have no one else so just takes every shot, proof that if you throw enough shots up, some are bound to go in.
Maybe shouldn't make statements until you see players play, just a suggestion.

Happy to generate discussion and debate.

Wise's numbers are as good as any bigs in the league. You didn't give me any retort as to who you think the best 4/5s in the league are?

We will find out more with Wise going head to head with Mays this week. I saw on the Southern FB page he had some nice highlights in his second game. But may have just been taking advantage of weaker opposition in a blowout win.

Interested to see how many and what kind of shots McGriff takes.

Pretty even? Wise maintains his avg around 25ppg I can't see why he wouldn’t be close to the MVP.

Wise is terrible defensively, no hustle, just jogs up and down floor. Being involved in all these blowouts he would have been going against bench players and scoring in garbage time. 2 rebounds, that's nearly impossible with those minutes.
Taking Starling every single time.

Thanks for that, that's where I normally go but for some reason for the entire season so far no stats or box scores, unless its only me that cant see them?

Wise would have dismantled tigers. He will absolutely destroy this league. But I heard from a reliable source. he's actually trash.

Starling is a genuine talent and has proved this over a few seasons.

But those 2 from tigers are absolutely useless.

They’ve only beaten Sturt who lets face it, have never been good. And north who aren’t even a good team. And only barely were able to beat Mavs.

I wouldn’t have thought the two imports from southern will last it seems everyone they play can contain them.

Even if he does, no one is suggesting he will play every game. But he will play enough to qualify & be around in August. Why go through the charade if he isn't?

If you think either is better than Liv you're kidding yourself. Hopefully they live up to that potential. Though Liv hasn’t started the season great admittedly, she won a Halls medal in 2016 and came runner up last year didn’t she.

DJ overseas all but confirmed at this stage.

If he plays 7 more games & actually plays then that's a guaranteed 7 wins. You don’t think they can find a couple more to make finals?

In PL if you have 7 losses you are 4th....
forrestvile are 0-3 and they still have Norwood, Southern and West to play.
And there has been whispers that if DJ plays he will be on mins restrictions (36ers request).
will 26 mins of DJ be enough to overcome the other 3 winning teams in the league?
