Even at 19, I am sure he won't disappoint, Morwood has done a great job! Thanks as always mate for your support for the U21 and NT.

We have a couple of players that lack GS but I'm hoping we can at least compete today and not just get blown out

Comparing the teams, there very similar DMI wise and salary, they have slightly better GS but who knows :-)

England U20 111-127 Israel U20

I was hoping for it to be a bit closer score wise however, Mulrain went down with an injury at the beginning of the 3rd which hurts us scoring. I chose to play patient to see where our better scorers were and to see how the shot distribution would be between Maher, Mulrain and Brodie. Maher played great, scoring 35points shooting 50%FG. MacPhorich also had a strong game with 16points, 7 rebounds.

I also never expected a player to dominate Brodie like their centre did. Brodie has pretty high ID and improving SB so seeing their C score 34 points on such a high percentage.

The game ratings do look low, however due to the scouting did to find the better 20y/o's had a major hit on our enthusiasm so it was at the minimum, maybe theirs were higher which could have been a factor.

Considering Mulrain did go down injured and played under half the game, I think 16 points isn't a bad margin. Maher had a screamer of a game and as you said, there centre was very impressive. Also thought Edie had a good game off the bench, especially with respectable GS.
I'm liking the looks of this said for next season and hopefully the players managers can continue doing a good job with their training.

Unfortunately MacPhorich has fairly high DR but his JR/PA aren't great, so he's probably not suited to be the focal point of an offense at the moment. His 9.0 rating wasn't all that remarkable either. I'd really think he'd benefit a lot from more passing or jump range (I trained JR once for 2 positions this season due to a training screw up). At the moment he's on autopilot for OD training till the end of the season. I guess I'll message you at the end of the season to see what you'd like the most out of him

He is still the best SF we have at this age due to his high JR and defence at OD/ID.

Scrimmage against Germany tomorrow at 6pm. Again using the U20s but with a slightly higher enthsiasm haha. I don't see a win for us against a strong nation in Germany but hopfully our guys can keep it competitive throughout.

Great win today considering these were your thoughts prior to the game. Considering they also played their U20's, I think it shows the strength of the U21 team as we beat a country with one of the biggest bases around in BB so good work.
