Ubaka v Allen

Any 36ers fans who saw the Hawks v Tigers game last night got a taste of what changing their point guard midseason can do. The Tigers, while still struggling, looked to have unearthed the find of the season in Myron Allen. Allen is aggressive and looks to pass first, creating plenty of opportunities for team mates. Ubaka in his first game up revitalised the Hawks, also creating plenty of chances for his team and even bringing life to the near-corpses of Sav and Campbell. I doubt the 36ers will make such a bold move but here's hoping....

Allen looks very solid
good length, lefty with the ability to shoot & make some great plays

Hawks turned it around before Ubaka arrived. He will definitely help going forward though, he's just what they needed.

Allen has played Gold Coast and Wollongong, with Adelaide next week. Ill reserve judgement until he plays some good defensive teams. Looks good though.

Find of the season? Not Simpson? Or Cedric Jackson?

Not sure if Allen is a great example of what change can bring - they're still losing games. Last night was being thrashed by the bottom team.

Simpson was a good find but cannot do much if he is on the bench for 20 minutes.

Allen played his first game the day he arrived from US, then played a fired up team featuring the import it sacked. I love Diamon but will say so far I expect Allen will have a bigger impact over the last half of the season.

The imports this season have been very good minus a few!

Only crap imports have been Ratzch and Glover.
Hudson and Dorsey are average (Dorsey doesn't fit the Tigers well though)

Allen did impress last night and I dont think the better defensive teams are going to be able to stop him to much. He will be one to watch but also looked a bit frustrated with the rest of the team no finishing off some BLOODY gifts he gave them.

Sign him for next year for us please :)

Skud, you're on the money there - sign him up and give him some decent supporting players and they may succeed in spite of Gleeson.
