I'll throw one in to start when you were at Royals at what point did you realise things weren't quite right and why?

If the new season starts behind closed doors and there's little/no money for players do you think that (British-based) players will be interested in playing. And who's your favourite ever general manager ?

At the begining there were things that weren't in place that should have been and I put it down to it being a new organisation (growing pains) and wanting to play in London so badly.

I think the biggest question we have that Hersey may know the answer to is wheres next. You talked about building in essex and buying in but do you plan to return?

The bbl offer you a deal where you can take any established NBL club and spend a few years playing and trying to build them to join the bbl with no franchise fee. Would you do it and if so which club would you build with?

How was your Commenwealth games experience?
With the talent on that roster compared to others (Scotland in particular) were you guys disappointed to not at least make the semis?

And who's your favourite ever general manager ? If that happens, I think most players from D1/2 who have other sources of income and no one depending on them will want to play, but the level of commitment is where it'll be difficult because their life will be structured and they will have to fit basktball in. And my fav GM is you

As you've played abroad how does that contrast to playing in the BBL and how do others view it?

Would you do it and if so which club would you build with? There's 2 teams right now in D1 that can play in the BBL right now, Worthing and Solent so either of them, is my short answer. My long answer is that you'll need to look at fan base, arena, youth programs, money situation, etc... This is a 10 mark question really lol

Would rather win Quai54 or the bbl trophy I've won the BBL Trophy, but I've not won Quai 54. Based on that, I'll rather Q54.

What has been the best team you've played on, worst team and most enjoyable? Please can you give a reason for each?

One from Bigz
That Manchester Magic team you were on (yeah long time ago sorry!) were probably the best EBL/NBL team Ive seen in a long long time - how far could they have gone in the BBL?

Firstly, I played HORRIBLE in the Commonwealth Games so I was extremely disappointed in myself, but the experience was AMAZING! We didn't go as far as we would have liked and that really hits home hard whenever I think about it.

How did you find out Royals had folded, where were you as we often hear of clubs not even letting the players know.
