Boomer McCarron ready to lead

Adelaide 36ers guard Mitch McCarron is headed back to Adelaide following a successful international break with the Boomers, in which he led the side to a massive with over Kazakhstan in the FIBA World Cup qualifiers over the weekend.

Import power forward Robert Franks spoke highly of McCarron's ability to guide the team.

“Mitch is that point guard you love to play with, he wants to pass, and he wants to make his teammates look good,” Franks said.

“That’s the benefit of having Mitch out there, he is going to look for you, he is very selfless, one of the most selfless teammates I’ve had, you can’t take a guy like mitch for granted, you’ve really got to appreciate what he brings to the table.

“Mitch is Mitch, he’s going to run this team and do everything he needs to do on a game-to-game day basis, I expect Mitch to do everything for us at the point guard position.”

The 36ers are on the road this week, facing Melbourne United on Thursday at 7pm.
