Max Mackinnon

So it makes it tricky.

Yeah, I mean, I like Max McKinnon too because he does a little bit of everything and I think he can probably take a bit more ball handling responsibility now Valika is out, even though he's a forward.

I still think a little bit more offensive responsibility will fall to him and he's not actually gone down from his ridiculously high starting price of 200K.

He's actually still gained price, which is pretty impressive for a guy that's never played professional basketball before.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So he'll probably have to find a little bit of money.

But Max McKinnon scored 32.

Sorry, 31.

He's still diming people up and running the show.

Also, Max McKinnon's numbers were down yesterday as well.

And I think it's a case of those guys just playing games and getting game reps together.

Bad news, though, Sam McDaniel's going to be out now.

I couldn't be higher on Will Weaver and how he approaches everything, his demeanour on the side of the court, the way he rocks up to games, the way he's communicating in press conferences.

I love what he's been doing.

But if I am a coach, and I would love to pick your brain with this, how are you getting Arnis and Max McKinnon back into shooting form? What does that sort of look like? Is that going away from shooting on the floor or do you have to keep going?

Well, I think you go and chart what type of shots they're getting in games and then go do that in practice.

I thought Felisca has been, Ernest Felisca, the point guard for Brisbane.

brisbane has just been unstoppable but um the last two games they just found a way certainly the sydney kings put the clamps on him last game about two games ago for them and they sort of showed a way but look this guy will have double in assists he probably will get double in points he's really really good then you've got the bigs and and you know max mckinnon's playing really well so this is going to be a really really big game but to answer your question yes if brisbane are serious they need to get that win

Hawks and the Jackjumpers later on this week.

Illawarra are finally getting a home game after a pretty brutal opening schedule for them, and their first win it was as well last week against Adelaide.

Tyrell Harrison was important with 24 points and a couple of big offensive rebounds to keep generating looks for the Bullets down the stretch.

Uh, Nate Hinton and Max McKinnon each scored 21 points as well.

Um, the Jackjumpers targeted Jacob Holt when he was playing the five.

As a result, only con- consigning him to 10 minutes, but he still scored 10 points.
