Check again all week for stay updates.
South East Melbourne Phoenix 84 v Tasmania JackJumpers 97
Tyler Cook $277k (F/C)
Coming into the Blitz, one of many massive questions we had was would we see Tyler Cook? In his first court docket time since being signed as an harm alternative for Alan ‘Big Sauce’ Williams per week in the past, Cook lived as much as his hype, topscoring for the Phoenix. He did a little bit little bit of the whole lot with 18 factors, 11 boards, 4 assists and three blocks contributing to his 39 SuperCoach factors. In what could be checked out as a optimistic going ahead, this rating was lowered by his six turnovers (detrimental 18 SuperCoach factors). We anticipate that as he performs extra video games along with his new teammates and will get accustomed to the type of play, these turnover numbers ought to go down. He seems to have all of the elements of a stable SuperCoach possibility; together with the interesting Phoenix schedule. Look for his possession to rise.
Jack McVeigh $262.3k (G/F)
McVeigh was the topscorer for the JackJumpers with 31 SuperCoach factors. McVeigh’s vitality usually results in him being concerned in plenty of motion; and this as soon as once more led to him placing up stats throughout the board with 13 factors, three rebounds, three assists, two steals and even a block. This continues a pleasant run of pre-season kind for leaping Jack McVeigh, who was within the prime 5 for SuperCoach factors per minute within the pre-season video games main as much as the Blitz. He is placing himself in rivalry as a pleasant spherical 2 commerce goal.
Will Cummings $277k (G)
Cummings Was operating sizzling early, scoring 15 of the Phoenix’s first 19 factors earlier than cooling off fairly dramatically. Cummings completed with 17 factors, 5 boards, three assists and a steal, which was good for 31 SuperCoach factors. If he can common 31 within the season correct this can see his value admire however a query does stay about how a lot of an influence a returning Mitch Creek can have on Cummings’ offensive alternatives.
Reuben Te Rangi $111.5k (G/F)
While Reuben didn’t begin for the Phoenix as they went with Moller and Vague in Creek’s absence, Te Rangi nonetheless performed probably the most minutes for the crew on Saturday. His tally of 21 SuperCoach factors is roughly double what he’s priced at. If he maintains his aggressive play that he exhibited within the current world cup and we get a little bit extra of FIBA Te Rangi, he could possibly be a pleasant money cow.
Brisbane Bullets 92 v Melbourne United 96
Matthew Dellavedova $255.3k (G)
Delly did come off the bench however that didn’t cease him being the perfect SuperCoach scorer for Melbourne United with 32 SuperCoach factors in simply 19 minutes. Players with good taking pictures quantity will probably be rewarded in SuperCoach NBL; and Delly led United with 15 subject aim makes an attempt and 11 free throw makes an attempt leading to his 28 factors scored. His value is available in cheaper than the brand new imports and is predicated on his NBL 22 efficiency for United. We have been studying experiences that Delly is in higher form than ever; and if he retains performing like this, he’s going to be laborious to depart out of your SuperCoach facet with Melbourne United’s superior schedule to start out the season.
Chris Smith $277k (G/F)
This is the second superior taking pictures efficiency now we have seen from Chris Smith. He was the topscorer for Brisbane with 26 SuperCoach factors, having put up 21 factors together with going 5 of seven from deep. This follows his earlier pre-season efficiency the place we went at seven from eight past the arc. From a SuperCoach perspective, we wish to see him get some extra of the opposite stats earlier than we really feel snug choosing him. You gained’t wish to personal him on a type of nights the place the photographs don’t drop, however to date, we’re but to see a sport the place that has occurred.
Chris Goulding $262.1k (G/F)
Moving on from the Chris Smith dialogue I now current you an instance of when the photographs aren’t dropping. Goulding shot 0-8 from the sphere together with 0-7 from three-point vary. Goulding was truly sitting with a detrimental SuperCoach NBL rating at half time, ultimately ending on two factors from his 27 minutes participant. We suspect he simply must shake off the cobwebs, and that’s what the 18 per cent of SuperCoach groups that at present have CG43 of their facet might be hoping.
Josh Bannan $69k (F)
Lots of people already had Josh on their SuperCoach watchlist for the NBL Blitz, however primarily based on Saturday night time’s efficiency, we anticipate this can solely develop. Bannan completed with 24 SuperCoach factors in solely 17 minutes performed. He began the sport for the Bullets and his minutes had been lower brief by a knee knock/corkie. With the extra court docket time Bannan ought to show to be a double-double menace, having collected 10 rebounds. He doesn’t look misplaced within the Brisbane beginning line-up; and he also needs to look very good in your SuperCoach NBL benches.
Adelaide 36ers 75 v New Zealand Breakers 101
Cairns Taipans 95 v Perth Wildcats 102
