Ben, main areas I think you could improve in is running the court (I think with all the injuries you haven't really been match fit or even 75-80% so that probably doesn't help)....if you run the court, Will will find you with a pass (hopefully :lol: )....

the other thing is with your height & athleticism, you should be a dominant force inside offensively (not just defensively as at the present)....I don't know if this means working on your post game, but that would be a good start....

but we can all definitely work on a lot....but I feel if you're healthy, we can win the division (Y)

I think Ben has always played more as a forward rather than a post-up center... not a bad thing but our team desperately needs you, Ben, inside and to be able to finish and score inside... :D

so we opened summer league with a 33-30 come from behind win against our arch nemesis, the Angry Dragons....I was quite happy with my play....had 24pts....went 4/7 on 3pters, would've shot better than 50% from the field & went 6/6 from foul line....I also had 11 of my 17 second half points in the 4th quarter, including some big threes, including the go ahead one with about 30 seconds to play which broke the other team's back....I was happy I made clutch FT's as well, which is always good (Y)

I dunno if I would call them our arch nemesis... but yeh, a rivalry is indeed brewing. I can't wait for Nigel's team to enter the comp... now they will be our true enemy :D

X carried the team from start to finish. I arrived midway through the second quarter and wasn't playing too well... perhaps because the change of tempo was a bit too much for team mates and they weren't catching my passes. Plus the other team was focusing on me when I had the ball, leaving X wide wide open on multiple occasions (Kudos to him for making them pay for that!) My shots weren't falling but I made the basket to put our team ahead by three with 15 seconds left and then helped force a turnover on the other end on the next possession. :D Finished with couple of assists, steals and only 6 points...

Dragon had some good blocks. (Y) Came out of nowhere to reject my mate from the other team :D

That's in about 5 weeks, which is the week after we play Magic Johnson (top team in division) & the week before we play the Monkeys (2nd top team in division)....
