I'm also a huge NBA fan. They draft kids at 19 and not 18. Also, the Stephen A Smith & Skip Bayless style of obnoxious hyper critical hot take merchants are in my opinion the worst part of US spots culture. I think we can aim to be better than that. But that's not even really my point. I just...

It was a joke mate. I don't think its sensible to second guess the choices made by the clubs when we've barely got any data to work off and many of the kids are types that will take longer to develop. I also don't think its at all constructive to create a thread which is guaranteed to stir...

Not sure if you guys are after small(ish) forwards? ---- Will "Don't Call Me Gil" McLachlan's name was running hot in MSD discussions after this 6 goal haul against Murray. Will plays a little like a smaller Bayley Fritsch, getting a high percentage of his scoring shots from marking on the...

This guy might be more inline with what you guys are after, although I wonder if its a year too soon for Will. He's got some elements of his game he needs to work on, namely defensive efforts/pressure. ---- Will McLachlan's name was running hot in MSD discussions after this 6 goal haul...

Will McLachlan's name was running hot in MSD discussions after this 6 goal haul against Murray. Will plays a little like a smaller Bayley Fritsch, getting a high percentage of his scoring shots from marking on the lead into space and up to the ball carrier. He'll need to work on his defensive...
