Giddey however wasn't the only young, up and coming Australian to impress fans and coaches as the likes of Keanu Pinder, Tyrrell Harrison and Tanner Krebs all were out putting their best foot forward as coaches start to determine what their rotations are going to look like come the start of the season.
In terms of game 1 and what to expect from game 2 there will certainly be a stronger emphasis from Brisbane on offensive execution and defensive consistency.
Brisbane throughout parts of the game looked clunky and ill-disciplined on offense often relying on Anthony Drmic to create shots for himself and others on handoffs and off screens, however it begs the question, How much can we really take from a preseason game?
It seemed evident throughout the game that the scoreboard wasn't accurately depicting who was the better team but more so who was the most prepared going into the game.
Adelaide looked good rotating on defence and succeeded in playing two bigs while not getting caught with said bigs getting to far up on guys such as Nathan Sobey, while on Offense they gave Giddey strong lanes to the rim and optimal passing angles for him to work his magic in the pick and roll game.
For Brisbane like I said it was clunky, however the Offensive philosophy and play sets from this Lemanis lead squad look promising as Harry Froling was getting up high to highlight his playmaking ability and willingness to be creative with hand offs and screens, I expect Froling will be quite aggressive to start this next game as he, Sobey and Drmic will be looking to up the effort and intensity for atleast parts of this scratch match.
