A lot of question marks hover over the Melbourne Tigers going into the 2009/10 season. One of the biggest questions is the health of Sammy Mac. Let me be the first to tell you that Sam has been our best player this preseason and looks to return to his MVP best that he displayed only 3 seasons ago. Many who watch Sam play knows he make things look easy what people don't realize is how deadly he becomes when he has a chip on his shoulder.
Things to look for from Sam in 09/10:
1) Slamming Sam is back. Look for Sammy to dunk in traffic and on people again.
2) Defense up the court. Sam was devastating at the Bullets with his up the court pressure and he looks to be an instigator for stops.
3) Ahead of the pack. Sam playing the 3 spot lets him get out in transition. If he gets the kick ahead pass and has someone one on one he won't be stopped.
4) Rebounding. With Knighty, DJ and I busy keeping opposition bigs off the board look for Mac to swoop on the boards with his abnormal athleticism.
He's healthy, he is one of Australia's best and he's back. Opposition beware because captain grumpy has a chip on his shoulder.
