On this episode, Dan Boyce speaks to Melbourne United forward Tanner Krebs who is coming off a great performance in his first NBL start in United colours.
With Melbourne currently sitting on top of the ladder (7-2) Krebs, who had been a solid contributor off the bench up until this point, got his chance to join the starting five in the absence of Ian Clark and Matthew Dellavedova and finished with 14 points, four assists and a steal and got the win over the South Melbourne Phoenix.
Tanner joins to show to give his thoughts on how the team is coming together and run through his career to date.
