Discussion 2024-2025: NBL Supercoach- Thurs 2nd Jan 7:30pm

Darius Days Vs Cairns
Harrison Vs NZ
Oliver Vs Ade

Which one would you bench out of those 3 and who would you captain? This round only. They all have their pros and cons

Tough one.

I'm wondering the same, and how many minutes Harrison would get.

These are the preseason games and the minutes could be skewed.

@Lost In The Sky
What sort of minutes/rotation does Toohey get with Adams back in the team?

I don't think Adams impacts him from a minutes perspective, Bruce. Le'Afa & Robertson will take the minutes hit.

But Adams coming back, plus Cooks will see Toohey's points take a hit from what it was in the pre-season.

Also Galloway being a huge talent might impact Toohey's mins as well.

Seems a good value pick but that Kings team is loaded so he might have quiet games as the big dogs in Adams, Cooks & Oliver dominate.

And off we go for NBL25, really enjoy this format!

Hoping for at least a top 500 finish this year, I never recovered from the Tyler Cook Rd2 captaincy disaster last year

3/54

Ili fantastic, so glad I started him, Loe looks the goods with the Lee minutes share, keep starting him I say. Unfortunate for White starters, but we all know how good he is. Still not sure on my captain pick this week, TBD

Decision made, nervous now!

 

[Woosie]

Argh! Harrison getting no ball... no one passing to him at all either

10mins -2pts!

Hopefully he gets 20 pts in the next 20+ mins

Nightmare first half. I’ve got him on field but not captained. Condolences.

[Connoisseur]

Great start so far for 4/85. Loe and Henshall excellent on the bench and did not expect such a good score from Henshall helping to compensate for no Cotton. Walton Jr just shy of a double-double and very close to matching Cotton.

Was concerned about Wieskamp‘s reliance on shooting and three steals may not be sustainable so happy not to have started. Hurt was another of the SEM recruits under consideration so if Harrell disappoints, then he could be a one round rental before switching back.

Usually default to my most expensive player as captain but opted for Oliver against Adelaide instead. Oliver, Harrell and Bradshaw will go a long way to deciding how my round goes.

No pressure Harrell.

Could have started Days and Ili over Harrell and Bradshaw but likely would have only left bench trades to consider for RD2 (say Zikarsky and Henshall). Two toughest positions to settle on in the end and went in expecting to change it.

Olbrich excellent and a good end by Hickey leaving Zikarsky as the only real bench trade for RD2 or to boost out depending on breakevens in RD3.

127 with Oliver (C) and Harrell to come.

 

[Miller is a Steele]

5/154 Cotton
Cotton C 42x2, Henshall 14 (27), Pepper 6 (11). Days and Oliver on field along with Olbrich, Hickey, and Zikarsky on the bench.

Annoyingly, my trade plan was Cotton & rookie (was expecting Pepper) to Walton Jr and Loe. I’d be 1 point better off if I started with that and I’d also have more flexibility with this week’s trades.

9/222
Days 43, Olbrich 16 (32), Hickey 6 (11), Zikarsky 3 (5). Days and Olbrich excellent. Hickey scored ok but importantly got decent minutes. Zikarsky on the other hand didn’t get good minutes and is in the firing line.

Oliver to come.

I decided to bench Oliver for Harrison - Now I've got some options.

RD2 prob White + Harrison can go for Loe + ?

Who gets the last spot?
Oliver? Toohey? Harrell? or someone else?
Aiming for Cotton RD3

White is a hold. DWJ can be your way to Cotton. Oliver looks like a gun

 

[T43597]

Should've just started Days and Walton Jr instead of planning to trade Cotton & Harrison to them after round 1. With cotton captain and Harrison on court, i lost 24 points (30 - 6) to Walton (c) & Days. I could be on 220 with Oliver and Leaupepe (bench) to come but instead im on 196. Anyway, i know what trades to make. Harrison was always a one week gamble, didnt expect it to end this poorly but thats okay, ill go into next round with 9 double game players plus Henshall

Is Oliver starting on the bench a concern?

Currently my Captain too so wondering whether I should switch the C duties to Davis?

Oliver started on the bench mainly during the blitz. Comes on against tired defence and has good PPM

Went Toohey

Tossed up between Oliver, Herrall, and Toohey all morning.

There were a few factors....
Basically finding someone for the bench...
I was going Harrell over Oliver/Toohey, he's very good but uncertain here
Harrell would be an amazing setup for RD3 and 4 too - wanted him so much.
Toohey over Oliver gives me $88k - hopefully he makes his BE
