   #NBL27 Likes & Dislikes: PJC's HOT Start, Kings hum, Ingles’ surprising usage | Aussie Hoops Hour

   Olgun Uluc and Jason Cadee run through their likes and dislikes from the early stretch of the NBL season. They discuss Parker Jackson-Cartwright’s red-hot to start the season, and why Gordie Herbert has the New Zealand Breakers running so smoothly. The guys also get into the Adelaide 36ers' offensive struggles, the Sydney Kings' standout role clarity, and Joe Ingles' surprisingly light usage. Then they split on the South East Melbourne Phoenix's three-point strategy: is it a sound approach or a problem? Plus, a breakdown of Luke Paul committing to Duke University.
