Who is Gary Boodnikoff?

Where has Gary Boodnikoff come from this season? After 5 games it's hard to call it a fluke that he's shooting three's at an amazing 67% so far leading the league in both 3 point and field goal %. He's not some accurate bench bunny either cos he's hit 24 of 36.

Is he getting some seriously open looks and good screens? Is it that Darnell and Cat are drawing defence to leave him open?

Looks like he's after Oscar's title.

He played for Cairns last season and shot a respectable clip from beyond the arc.

He hasnt come from no where just a case of slowly forcing coaches to give him minutes.

Quailty player - didn't he win ROY when he was at Sydney, if not he must have come close?

Yep he was ROY in his one year with the Kings (1st championship season). He looked to have all the potential in the world, but clashed with Goorjian and left for the Giants and then Cairns where he seemed to disappear under the coaching of Wright and then Molloy. Black would be a good coach for him. He'd need someone tough but not too tough to bring out the best.

He could well become a big player in the NBL. He has all the pieces if he's motivated.

avreaging 21 pts a game this year he sure is a quality player. Alan Black's style of coaching would suit him fine. He has developed but dont be surprised about his shooting. I remeber seeing hjim with Sydney in 2003 and he was knocking down some good threes. It's just that Goorjan is a defensive style coach and needs every single bloody thing to be perfect. College style basketball. He should get even better as the season goes on and i wouldnt be surprised if he gets looked at by the australian team. Good size, height, and excellent outside shooter.
