Yeah I was personally thinking maybe we could start a prediction contest for the EBBL and U21 games, if enough people were interested. I sure think it is an interesting idea!

Some OD for a center [Hall] can be usefull but 10 is overkill indeed


If i remember rightly Hall was sold on and the new manager, i think, did his own thing with him (dont recall him replying to my bbmails). I could be mistaken though if Eminence tried and had success. Hall was a trciky one though as his salary had jumped up quite a lot and there was a lot to do on his guard skills. At least he got something in that department, although like you say those extra pops in OD are increasingly less useful with the other weaknesses he has.

EDIT - and Morwood's write ups were awesome. :) really added something for me and i didnt have an U21 player

3.3 blocks a game is pretty good in my opinion. Also, like you stated there are other effects of shot blocking that are hard to be seen, so it makes it is easy not for people to appreciate it. Still, if you look at how well the opposing player he was guarding shot during that game, you may get a better indication.

As for Hall I agree that 1v1 forwards is the best option for him right now, for all his secondaries besides his OD are just not good. In my opinion the new trainer probably have to focus on 1v1 this entire season to get those secondaries up to par.

Also today is the last day to vote. Please remember to do so: http://www.buzzerbeater.com/country/14/ntelection.aspx?el...

Well, if I remember correctly his trainer did reply, but it was always just to say that he was still training OD so it is what it is.
