The
Season
A
stinker. Not only couldn’t the Hawks go
on any kind of winning streak until the final two rounds of the season they
went two whole months without a win, losing seven straight from round seven to
round 14. They somehow beat Cairns twice
and shockingly New Zealand twice. Not
only beat the Breakers but demolished them by an average of 17 points, and one
IN New Zealand! Crazy.
What went
right?
Oscar
Forman stepped up his game to a point where he is a bonafide decent player, and
will continue his way onto stardom. Glen
Saville and Mat Campbell were OK and Campbell went out on a high note and Sav
should have gone with him. Rhys Martin
showed glimpses of being a good point guard in this league as well.
What went
wrong?
Their
imports were woeful apart from Ayinde Ubaka’s rescue. Showron Glover was shown the door after
turning the ball over too much and shooting terribly while Joevan Catron
thought he was Allen Iverson when he should have been Charles Barkley and I’m
surprised that his legs didn’t snap they were that skinny. He won’t be missed. Overall this team just didn’t have enough
talent from head to toe and it would be a good game between Wollongong and
Perth’s second unit.
Most
Valuable Player
Oscar
Forman. The only Hawk to nab a Dabster
Award he was the cool head that kept this team together. He will need to become a more vocal leader on
the squad with the absence of Mat Campbell.
Targets
A quality
import point guard. They were a
completely different team when Gary Ervin was on the floor as he spread the
court for the great shooters on this team.
They need someone like Cedric Jackson who can penetrate and dish while
directing the rest of the team. Another
big man would be nice to back up Forman and Larry Davidson while they are
shopping.
Next
Season
As is
this team just doesn’t have the sheer talent to play consistently with the
elite and hopefully they can snag one or two quality imports to give this team
a bit more pizzazz. I’m guessing that
next season will be Glen Saville’s last one and the rest of the players need to
back him up to give him the season that he deserves.
