Phoenix Goat Bracket: Semi-Finals Williams vs Broekhoff

Who will face XX in the grand final?

The second semi-final match up is between 'Big Sauce' Alan Williams and sharpshooter Ryan 'Rowdy' Broekhoff.

ALAN WILLIAMS

Games: 43  |  PPG: 16.6  |  RPG: 10.2  |  APG:  2.1  |  SPG:  0.9

‘Big Sauce’ made a big impact in the Heartland in his two seasons with the Phoenix, leading the league in rebounds in both campaigns. A force inside, his rebounding and finishing ability at times made him the best big man in the competition. 

Despite being hampered by injury, Williams’ impact in games was profound, highlighted by almost 40-straight games where he scored double-digits. A native Phoenician, it would be kismet that he would land at the Phoenix and his legacy will forever be etched in South East Melbourne’s history books.

RYAN BROEKHOFF

Games: 57 |  PPG: 9.4  |  RPG: 4.8  |  APG:  0.7  |  SPG:  1.0

Broekhoff will go down as one of the greatest three-point shooters in Australian history. He found a place for himself with the Dallas Mavericks as a spot-up shooter and carried that reputation with him in the NBL. 

Would often times pull up beyond-the-arc and drain the triple, much to the delight of the Heartland fans, but had the speed and ability to finish under heavy contact proving his all-round capabilities.
