yeah I spent a fair amount of time studying the last 2 votes, Santigoeds was great with 7-10fg in just 19mins, Grief as you said with 9 dimes and a solid defensive effort from the two PGs (but very little else), and even bridgewater, with 12 boards and 4-6 fg was a great effort. But if you look at the players that got votes, they are all deserving too. One thing that held me back on Grief was the fact he had a chance to ice the game with 1-2secs left on the FT line and missed a shot, giving China a final shot at staying in the game. It didnt hurt, but it could potentially have.

Shooting guard was our weakness all season (again!), so it was great to see flipper make that his own towards the end of the season. A couple of 3s, 15pts, and adding 3 assists himself was a great all round contribution. A case could be made for about 7 players though!

I like that way of thinking. Perhaps there is more interest than predicted. Do you read each one weekly?

Got a Scrimmage with 4th ranked Lithuania. They too have all 20 year olds. Still scouting around but will not add any player skills in the NT federation yet in respect to managers in finals.

It was a nice start to the u20s campaign, taking down powerhouse and world 4 ranked Lithuania. (31512)

That perimeter D ranking is awful, but with 1 enthusiasm for our team its hard to take anything from the rankings. Looking at player rankings they look the stronger side. Santigoeds was in beast mode, and I liked Parkes game.

Kewells 13 dimes were a treat. Im not sure why he didnt enjoy the offense being run for him to finish off inside. If thats the way they are gonna play him, you might need to train some FTs!!

From my understanding, Singapore will host the next seasons continental tournament as the highest advancing team in the consolation tournament:

That will be a nice little boost for them going forward as they usually have a very competitive team. On the plus side, their time zone will be much more favorable to watching games live than the 2:30am we had this season.
