He might be one of those guys who is kind of an in-between type player, one who is too good for the ABA, but not quite good enough to consistently perform in the NBL. Paul Bauer was like that too. As for his not playing defence, he's not the only one in the Sixers' backcourt.

you can be strong and light but he's not

I think he needs to go, he is just to small for the game. He tries and has put in ome big efforts, but in the end he generally gets pushed out of the way.

Another Nathan Hawkes will hang around forever but won't do anything!!!!

Will he want to hang around though? He's getting paid peanuts and to cop constant criticism all the time when he can go off and play doctor for considerably more dollars, you could hardly blame him.

so frustrating to watch, thought some of his electrfying aba form would have translated over to the big league by now...ABA is more suited to Darren Ng M.D.

as for his brother suiting up, well.....

could find a better player at tuesday night social, lets be honest

His a hell of a shooter.....id take him at Perth off the Bench

Leave Darren Alone,,, hes really good if u give a chance,,,, Phil doesent play him enough to him to show u how he plays. no offence phil..... I know hes great... no wait he is great.....

Top five in the team in scoring despite limited minutes, 5th in the team from the field, 3rd from the line and 2nd from the arc. Smart, plays within the team, etc. I think those things make up for the size he gives up.

I'm not at all unhappy with him coming off the bench for the team.

he may be a good shooter but when you get pushed around like a rag doll its never going to work. Im tired of seeing him run behind the high picks just to see his man create a shot for someone else or nail it themselves, Not only him( sutton is the only one to work through them and stay with his man)
His rotation D is terrible as can not cover anyone other then the point and at some stages his tendency to get back out on the smaller guys is creating open looks for the bigs inside. I also think he doesnt help the team d as a unit as they would be looking to help him out in the back of their mind if rotations occur.
he needs more of a killer, no fear attitude and be willing to cop a battering but that doesnt seem to be the case.

Don't know which Ng you are watching but he puts his body on the line all the time and does not get an umpire's whistle. He gets quite physical in D as the ball is carried forward often stopping the flow of his or someone else's player. Good basketball sense and fast....and great quick offensive passes to assist his team mates.

i am pretty sure the vast majority of teams in the league would find a spot for Ng in their rotations .
Various roles and time allocation sure , but he definitely has something to offer .
Maybe we need to switch up defensive tactics and principles when he is on the floor to blanket some of the perceived weaknesses and shortcomings .
Also farley gets jetted as much as ninja but most on this forum are aware of this , a few blind loyalists excluded .

I think hes one of the last players we need to worry about in the rotation. As long as he keeps developing at NBL level he will become a good contributor.

And who said he can't go to the gym and put on some weight?
