 Our first question comes from Marcus who is 13 years old and plays for the Waverley Falcons

Question:

Dear Sedale,
Currently I play on a rep team where I am stuck behind two really good guards and I never get to play quality minutes. I know I am not as good as they are right now but I am sure by just getting chance to play that in the long run I can be better than both of them. Should I focus on just working on my game by myself or should I go find another team which is perhaps not so good but at least I will get to play.

Answer:

Regardless of what team you play on, your main goal especially playing juniors is to become the best player that you can be through individual development whether that is by yourself and / or through a formal training program. There is a big misconception that players need to play in VC or the top levels of juniors to develop more and get the best experience as well being a status symbol. I tend to always advise that when looking at playing on a rep team, you want to play on a team that you are actually going to play minutes. Again, the main focus of playing a rep team is about your individual development. It is very hard to develop sitting on the bench. Sometimes it is better to play in a Metro 1 or lower comp and / or at a smaller club so that you play more minutes so you can actually get some gametime experience and become a better player. Personally, I would prefer to play on a team that maybe a second team or in a lower comp if I knew I was going to play a majority of the minutes. Chances are this will give me an opportunity to develop and be the “man”. Then maybe next season I may look to play on a team that is in a higher comp which I will be better for and have more opportunity because I’ve got more experience.

  • Larry Kestelman Says Geelong Deserves an NBL Team But Is Missing a Real Estate Component

    The possibility of an NBL expansion team in Geelong has gained momentum, with league owner Larry Kestelman confirming the city is a strong candidate—provided it can secure a suitable venue. However, much like we outlined in an article a number of years ago, How the Geelong Supercats could return to the NBL within 3 years, the missing piece isn’t just a stadium, but a real estate-backed development plan to make the project financially viable. Kestelman recently acknowledged Geelong’s growing basketball scene, citing record participation numbers…

    There have been championship runs in the NBL defined by dominance and the sheer weight of talent that could overwhelm opponents before the ball was tipped. The dynasties of Perth, the star-studded reign of Melbourne, and the rise of Sydney’s financial muscle all tell tales of powerhouses that knew how to stay at the top. But there has only ever been one championship like Wollongong’s in 2001—a title won through sheer resilience, a team that had no business being there until they forced their way…

  • If Dyson Daniels Doesn’t Win Defensive Player of the Year, It’s a Disgrace

    The Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) award is supposed to recognise the most dominant defender in the NBA. If that’s the case, then Dyson Daniels should already have his name engraved on the trophy. But as the season winds down, there’s a growing concern that Daniels might get overlooked simply because he’s a guard. If that happens, it won’t just be unfair—it will be a disgrace. Daniels is Leading the NBA in Every Key Defensive Stat There’s no argument against Daniels’ defensive dominance this…
