NZBL Projections, Stats & Analysis

Bay Hawke’s defense has been off the mark

While it is not like that Hawke’s offense has been any good, their defense has been rather too down. They have given up 100+ in two of the last three games, unable to get the job done for the most parts. The team hasn’t identified the major offensive options and the rotations have not been ample as they were earlier in the season when Derone Raukawa had it going. While the team lacks a viable playmaker, Jarod Kenny has been the leading assists maker. Hyrum Harris has led the team in rebounds

Jets in familiar struggles

The Jets have continued to sink this season and they have the worst defense in the league, allowing 90+ points during most junctures and their offense hasn’t been close. The team has lost five in a row twice this season and there are no more recovery windows now, with just one game remaining. Robert Crawford and Zane Nadjawi have been in the frontline of scoring. John Bohannon has led the team in rebounding with around 14 a game while also dishing around 4 assists a game.
