Mm.

And if you look at his performance in that final game at the Blitz, he was outstanding.

Got in foul trouble early, but was still able to come out and lead the Breakers.

Um, granted it was against a wounded Tasmania, but then I think he is driven seeing all these new guys, seeing the emergence of Kendrick last year as a, as a championship winner and a championship series MVP.

But the size for Parker is gonna require that he continue to find ways to impact basketball games because to your point about Velicka, he is a tall, strong dude, and he plays with a real European physical swagger that I don't think we've seen before at the position.

There are some key things I look for when I'm analyzing a point guard's influence on a team.

Do his teammates look to get him the ball in every situation? Tick.

... and I think some of that has to do with that, the fact that these point guards, there are so many high-level point guards that on any given night, any of these guys could be the best player on the floor.

Mm.

Josiah Jordan, yeah.

Where do you see Skyler Mays fitting into this?

Well, kind of like Chris just mentioned, it's about coming in and trying to slot into a winning position in the team, and because they have a superstar there in Nathan Sobey, make no mistake about it, that's Sobey's team.

Um, Sobey came in third last year, I be- I believe in MVP voting.

He was first team All NBL.

There's no doubt who the man is on that team.

For that reason, Sobey is going to be your primary usage guy.

He deserves that.

Where are Cairns?

Where are Perth Wildcats and John really under the pump stakes?

I'll jump in here because obviously there's going to be some level of bias.

John and I played together for five years, and I think very highly of him.

He was a great teammate, someone who loves the game.

He's a very intelligent coach, and he's done well in Perth.

Again, the bar is so high there.

They won championships.
