Here's the stats for Slingers on the road last season.
From here you can see who is contributing and who easily should come back next season.
Seriously in my view, Coach McLeod and owner of Slingers, Bob Turner, assembled a great deep team which was the strongest I have seen since the franchise started.
They are strong in both offense and defense and are physically fit. They are a very good 2nd half team, unlike previous seasons where Slingers is clearly seen punctured by the 4th quarter. It has nothing to do with the fact we are not playing in the NBL, as everyone knows the Filipinos play a fast-paced physical game. And from all the games so far, I doubt it's a size issue.
I personally will have some minimal changes and as coach, try to replace each individual with similar traits, for example Shane McDonald's replacement has to be a great ball handler and most importantly not hog the ball and distributes fast and a stop jump shot shooter. And it has been complemented well with sixth-man Al Vergara.
Can't wait for the season to start in Sep! Hope the next season's team will be a similar outfit.
Go Slingers!
