Phoenix Goat Bracket: Kell III vs Ayre

We've hit the half-way mark of the PHOENIX GOAT bracket, with the winner of this match-up to take on Adam Gibson in the quarter-finals.

Next up is three-pointer gun Trey Kell III up against the every competitive point guard Ben Ayre.

TREY KELL III

Games: 24 |  PPG: 12.5  |  RPG: 3.8  |  APG:  2.8  |  SPG:  0.8

A big-bodied guard who was a 36 per cent shooter from deep in his time with the Phoenix. A strong finisher who would often be on the receiving end of tough contact in the paint but still manage to score, Kell posed a huge threat to opposition teams. 

In his year with the Phoenix, nobody scored more from three-point range than Kell and was a placegetter in blocks and rebounds showing his ability to play big on defence.

BEN AYRE

Games: 27 |  PPG: 10.7  |  RPG: 2.0  |  APG:  2.6 |  SPG:  0.7

Ayre’s first season in the Heartland was a strong indication of what fans can look forward to for the next few years. Called upon as a starting guard on the back of a raft of injuries, Ayre took to the role with aplomb and was a shining light in a period of decline on court. 

His ability with ball in hand – both scoring and passing – was matched only by her sheer will to win, arguably one of the most competitive players to pull on a Phoenix jersey.
