Skylar Mays

In there, it's 320 odd, out to 1108 after a 386.

And unfortunately, with the Flynn Cameron injury, I was always going to be a little bit behind this week, but I had the 50-50 decision to go and hold Skylar Mays and try and get a double player in to try and, you know, get a bit of a better score in my starting side.

And that's unfortunately the way I decided to go for.

And really I should just copped it and, uh, just, you know, it would have been to catch a Lear or Ben Gold is who I was going to start and take the 10 or the 16 and then, you know, get the PJC extra cash and obviously the better score.

He's going to come into my side this week.

But yeah, just some of that thinking was around Saving some cash as well.

I end up bringing in Jonah Bolden to go along with holding on to Skylar Mays.

He's 24, and then Bolden on the double getting the 26 was pretty gross there on that one.

Yeah, I think it's important.

Like, we're talking about experts here, so I don't know if I've answered Damon Lowry's question, but... understand what people say like the modern game um yeah teams have a decision to make do you take away the paint or do you take away a three-point line and it's very difficult to do both and um i actually felt during the night of the game that we were getting really good looks and the shots that we generally want to get yeah for each other you know if you go through our list um you know sabi's there um geordie hunter show that he can pull a three ball uh dashawn um is it schwartz is a great shooter uh then you get into you know the likes of uh gus tanner krebs uh skylar mays like We've got a team that's built for this.

Um, and, uh, and we're talking, you know, right there, you know, five or six of the best, you know, dozen shooters, 15 shooters, maybe in the NBL.

Um, so I don't saw the, the message that you want to send out to them is to second guess yourself or don't shoot the ball.

A lot of it coming from a good place because he's such an amazing competitor and a winner.

But he gets into that Russell Westbrook, I always called it, territory.

But in terms of Skylar Mays, who you just mentioned, I wanted to really sort of get into, because it is, again, it's been a topic of conversation on NBL media and on social media with the fans, and that is the three imports.

And I wanted to sort of... deep dive a little bit into the thought process behind getting Skylar.

But yeah.

And speaking of guys like Skylar Mays as well, Luke Travers has got to be thrown into that mix.

I've not been that impressed with him.

So overrated.

three times a fortnight and some of these players have come from leagues where they're used to more games they might play 50 60 games in a season we play 33 it can be difficult and challenging to find your rhythm on the offensive end in game scenario when you're not getting a lot of reps you get off to an 0 for 5 shooting performance like Deshaun Schwartz did in that game against Melbourne United and then you feel like you're playing from behind you're pressing Giannis Morin hasn't found his rhythm.

And Skylar Mays at times looks like he has what it takes to be a really good player in the league, but then other times it looks like he's not comfortable with the system or lack thereof that Southeast Melbourne play with on the offensive end.

The Brisbane Bullets, one of your old teams where you made a name for yourself, in fact.

Look, they look like the real deal.

And, you know, he's really come of age in the last couple of years in this league.

And, you know, an import like Skylar Mays to try and even recreate what Owen Foxwell was doing, I'm not sure we're seeing that yet.

No, we're not.

We're not.
