Men's Teams of the Week - April 12

Each week the NBL1 will put a spotlight on a women’s and men’s team from each conference for a major performance, a big win or a special occasion for the club.

See the men's Teams of the Week below: 

NBL1 South: Frankston Blues

The Blues have gotten off to a hot start, despite not having “Superman” Lachie Barker due to injury. 

Thursday night was the battle of the bay with the Blues taking on the Sandringham Sabres on the road, beating them by 24 points. Lucas Barker had a game-high 23 points while Brad Newley and Jordan Evans both added double-digit scoring. 

Keep an eye on Saturday night as the Blues will face fan-favourite Dillon Stith for the first time since he moved to the Waverley Falcons.

NBL1 Central: South Adelaide Panthers

South Adelaide Panthers fans should be over the moon after their Good Friday Performance.

Not only did they knock off the title-contending West Adelaide Bearcats with Anthony Drmic and Mitch McCarron, their young wing Llyod McVeigh blew up.

The 19-year-old scored 32 points against the NBL duo, while Daniel Johnson was outstanding in his 2023 debut for the reigning champions. With 15 points, nine rebounds and eight assists -- including some outrageous passes. 

Daniel Johnson's vision is next-level ?

And we cannot forget the 2022 NBL1 Central Finals MVP and Defensive Player of the Year Alex Starling either. 

Finishing with 28 points and three blocks, the superstar is already looking to assert his dominance and offensive prowess this season.

NBL1 West: South West Slammers

The South West Slammers put on a show last Thursday with an eight-point win over the Mandurah Magic at home. 

Buay Tuach was the NBL1 West Foot Locker Player of the Week with good reason, dropping 27 points, 10 rebounds and six assists to give the Slammers a much-needed first win of the season -- after the Buccaneers handed them a 106-45 score in Round 1.
