Most of the players, except for Ben Knight, have now left Singapore to go play basketball somewhere else until the next NBL season.

Rod Grizzard had a great first match for BNEI HASHARON in the Premier Legue in Israel with 18 points and 5 rebounds. Grizzard is expected to come back . No news about Helms but keep an eye on his Myspace site.

Some of the young players are in New Zealand and Australia with Hayden Allen playing with Auckland Heat ( together with Oscar Forman ), John Fitzgerald with the Mackay Meteors in the QABL, Shane McDonald and Dave Donaldson both with the Nunawading Spectres ,

Maybe it is time for Chuck Harminson to stop talking because not all newspapers understand what he says.

And here is part 2 - just to see how much of a mess can come out of some journalists taking a single sentence out of an hour long speech . Boti Nagy any day please.

Latest news is that Helms is back in Detroit but not yet playing and Janev in Sydney but will soon be playing somewhere - so watch out for him somewhere in OZ and Kiwi land.

Will the Slingers add any new coaches to the team of Gordie McLeod and Neo Beng Siang in 2008/09 ?

Was already Breakers assistant this season just past. Is he a chance at a future head coaching positioning in the NBL?

Update from Kiwi nbl league.

"Hayden Allen finished with 27 points, seven assists, three steals and just one turnover to help Harbour to a 93-82 win over the Otago Nuggets on Thursday .

( Oscar Foreman Forman shot nine-of-11 from the field and had 23 points in just 21 minutes as he was used sparingly due to a niggling Achilles injury )"
