Markus Barratt has been added to the team. He steps in as the best shooter in the team, and has overcome the game shape issues that has held him out since the start of the season. Ive added him tonight because id like him to play in the scrimmage vs the Philippines on Monday. Here is a bit more about our newest member:
Markus Barratt
aka: Mars Bar
NBA resemblance: Manu Ginobili
NBL resemblance: Kevin Lisch
Markus comes in to the u21 team as a big time shooter, and a game winner. Late in the shot clock, he is the player that you want to have the ball in his hands. He can create his own shot both inside and out, and deserves respect from the land of plenty. Infact, he is a defensive problem, step outside on him, and he will zip around you. Double team? Maybe, but his vision is too good and he becomes a passer to the man you should've been aware of but left alone. And leave him free? Well, your leaving the fate of the game in the wrong oppositions hands. This is the guy the coach told you to man up on, and just hope you've done enough to keep him off his game.
