                         Marysville, Adelaide and Omaha Team History

Season 1:

     With the 5th overall pick, Marysville selects Larry Chapman. And thus the start of what many supporters hoped would be the cornor stone of a strong and winning orginzations. Larry Chapman only 23 years of age, was a young promising Center. He had strong intangibles, and was thought of as one of the top rebounding/shot blocking centers. Roger Starr and Garth Donohue were strong selections that would prove to be one of the better tandems in the league. Chapman to nobodies surprise played a strong all-around game. Averaging 20 points per game, along with 10 rebounds, 3 blocks and even 1.5 steals. Despite such impressive numbers, he was overlooked for ALL-WBA honors as well as All-Defensive WBA honors. Regardless Marysville finished its first season with a strong 47-15 record. This was good enough to nab the 4th overall seed.The team was 3rd in the league in points scored at 104.5 while allowing only 94.4 points per outing on defense which was bested by only 4 other teams. Unfortunatly, in the playoffs they were matched up with a team of destiny ... the 5th seeded Fernie squad that would go on to win the title. Marysville was simply outmatched at times, as Fernie swept them 3 games to 0. There were some questionable moves, one of which included sending off a 1st round pick and a 2nd rounder along with two players toget Wally Brown and Jesse Harrington. Neither of these players played a significant role in the first season.

Assists: Roger Starr 9.7
Blocks: Larry Chapman 3.0
Steals: Roger Starr 2.4


Season 2:

     Despite the success from the previous season, the owners were unable to pay the salaries of their players, in which a ownership group from down under purchased the team. The team was moved to Adelaide. As often that happens with franchises the ownership or the General Manager feel they need to make the team their own, even if it reduces the overall talent of the team. This unfortunatly was the case, as the teams best player Larry Chapman and Garth Donohue were sent off to Midland in a trade that would cause this franchise to struggle for many years. Adelaide recieved an decent center in return by the name of Frank Fitzgerald, in adition they recieved Maury Foreman, season 3 1st round pick of NY and Midlands season 3 2nd round pick in addition to Midlands season 4 1st round pick. While it can be said they recieved fair trade vaule. Larry was one of those guys you just don't trade away. Very quickly Adelaide became a bottom tier team overnight. They finished 41 games out of 1st place and would miss the playoffs. While Donohue scored nearly 21 ppg, and Chapman anotehr 20 ppg. Midland quickly became one of the top teams.

     Maury Foreman and Frank Fitzgerald were easily the best two players on the aussie team but couldn't compare to Donohue and Chapman. Adelaide would win only 24 games, and the fans were no longer excited about the prospects of this team.

Season 3:

     With Draft Day nearing for the 3rd season, there was at least a small glimmer of hope for the struggeling aussie team. Having accumulated 2 first round picks and 2 second round picks, perhaps with a little luck they would get some impact players. Season 3 will go down as one of the most impacting drafts that will affect the league a over the next decade. Arguably the most talented draft pool ever seen. It was no suprise to see Lou Gonzalez go number 1 followed by Hammeleers, Mercer, Bramson, Diaz, LaMaitre, Duke. All of these players have gone to at least 1 all-star game with many going multiple times. Not to mention All-WBA honors. So it would seem that with the 8th overall pick that whomever it was, they would be a impact player. Arnold Pine was the selection with the 8th pick. And while he shot over 53% from the field, he only scored 9 points a game. He was very one dimensional, and while not technically a bust, compared to some of the names that followed him, it goes with out saying that Arnold Pine was a wasted pick. They missed out on Parker Mason who was selected by Washington as well as Leon Berthelson. Not to mention players like Heiko Van Brandt, Derek Vinyard, George Foster, Abdullah chanda, Christobal Dasher, Jime Peyton. The list goes on. To be fair, it is not easy to know which players will go on to stardom, but regardless it is somewhat easy to know which players are one dimensional. With the 19th pick, Adelaide chose Casey Curtis, who was another player that didn't have much of a impact. Berlin owner David Williams nearly had an accident when he realized that He would be able to select Abdullah Chanda with the 20th pick. In the second round they selected Bruce Johnson which was definatly better then their 2 first round picks. They would claim Pete Haddon with the 51st pick, but at that point nobody would be surprised that Pete wouldn't do much for the team. History would show that even in the 2nd round, there were All-WBA player talent available. Such as Shane Strom taken 46th, Dave Williams taken 47th. The best draft class in league history indeed.

     As the season got underway, it quickly became apparent that the draft did nothing to really improve the team. Adelaide was not only losing games, but were doing so in such a grandious method, they rarley lost by less then 10. After the first couple months of the season, Midland came calling trying to bolster their chances in the playoffs. They would end up taking Bruce Johnsen for 4 second round picks. Near the end of the year Nebraska struck up deal that would give Adelaide their top lottery pick for season 4 and Frank Fitzgerald. In exchange they would get Garth Donohue back who was averaging nearly 19 points a game, but was himself fairly one dimensional. It also included the Boston season 4 1st round pick which would be a very late pick. This was yet another example of how inedpt the ownership was to make such a trade. The team has no point guards, in fact Jim Kellogg lead the team with 3.3 assists per game while playing only 16 minutes. The team lacked a viable center, and for the most part it lacked any quality players.

     When it was all said and done, Adelaide would win a whopping 15 games against 65 losses. Fan attendance was something you would expect to see in professional womens basketball.

Statistical Team Leaders:
Points: Garth Donohue 18.9
Rebounds: Jesse Harrington 7.3
Assists: Jim Kellogg 3.3
Blocks: Jesse Harrington 1.1
Steals: John Donohue 1.5


Season 4:

     Determined to make the season 4 draft count, management decided to make a early trade to move up in the draft. Adelaide grabbed the #15 pick from Washington in exchange for the 18th pick and 1.75 million spread over two seasons. Perhaps this was a little costly to move up just 3 spots, but the management had their eye on someone.

     With the 15th pick they selected Ossie Gordon. Ossie appeared to be a quality center, despite not being a physical player who would pound the boards. With the 24th pick, they selected Evertt Kubey while not a poing guard, would hopefully be a quality shooting guard, as it was expected that Garth Donohue would cost to much to resign in Free Agency.

     It quickly became apparent that both Kubey and Gordon were terrific picks, as they were the teams top two scorers. Both of them attended the rookie all-star game. Unfortunatly while there was almost a reason to watch a Adelaide game, the wins were few and far between. Arnold Pine continued to show that he was a bust of a lottery pick, and was relegated to backup duty. It was clear that there was some future for this team. Little did the fans know that the future would not include staying in Adelaide. At the end of the season after winning just 18 games, team management was forced to sell the franchise causing the team to move to one location in BFE to another.

Points: Everett Kubey 17.3

Steals: Russ Chase 1.4



Season 5:

     Going in to the offseason there was much uncertainty about the Adelaide franchise. As management was finalizing the details of selling the franchise, this was temporarily put on hold for the season 5 draft. Having the 3rd overall pick, it was known that evonta Corrigan would go #1. And it was assumed that Adelaide would select one of three players. Jack Spigel, Pat Stehenson or Roy Base. Both SPigel and Stephenson were centers, which caused most to assume that Roy Base was the most likely choice so he could play next to Ossie Gordon. As Bermuda Selected Jack Spigel, Adelaide waisted no time in selected Pat Stehenson, would along with Corrigan and Spiegel was easily considered part of the top 3 players in the draft. In the 2nd round they would take a Point Guard out of North East Moscow State University by the name of Johnny Meynardie. Meynardie had just led his NE Moscow State University to a 37-9 record in the GCBA. Nike Johnson was also selected in the 2nd round, as well as some no name that doesn't deserve to have his name in print.

     By the time that preseason started the sell of the team had officially happened. Enter the Omaha Wild. Kelley Avery lead the management team that purchased the struggeling Adelaide franchise. Mr. Avery would control all personel decisions. Under the direction of new management, it was clear that this team would win more games then it had previously.

     One of the first steps included trading away Tyler Durden who had been signed during free agency. Tyler was a pure shooting guard. Omaha would send away Tyler Durden and their season 8 first round pick and 2 million in cash in exchange for Frank Rose and John Felton. Frank Rose was similar to Tyler Durden being a pure shooter, but John Felton was a solid small forward who would bang the boards and his contract was only 2 million a year.

     As the season started, Omaha was already a stronger club. Thanks to Pat Stephenson and John Felton they were much stronger on the boards and that alone was something the growing number of Wild fans appreciated. Midway through the season Omaha made another trade. They recieved JJ.McCauley, Jovany Oneil, Eliseo Jones and a pair of 2nd round picks. They sent Russ Chase, Johnny Meynardie, Ossie Gordon and a Omaha 1st round pick. This was a questionable move, as the 1st round pick was still expected to be a lottery pick.

     Before the end of the season one last significant trade occured. Omaha grabbed Chacarita's season 6 and 8 1st round picks along with some dead weight players. They had to give up Evert Kubey, 2 1st round picks of their own for season 7 and 9 and a 2nd round pick along with some other dead weight players.

     Omaha would miss the playoffs again, however they had won more games finishing with a 26-54 record. While still a lottery  based team, the franchise was making moves to improve their situation.

Points: Frank Rose 21.7
Rebounds: John Felton 8.6
Assists: J.J. McCauley 6.4
Blocks: Pat Stephenson 2.8
Steals: J.J. McCauley 3.1


Season 6:
     With the draft coming up, it was believed at the time that having the #4 overall pick along with two 2nd round picks may be enough to put the Wild where they needed to be. While J.J. McCauley did a valiant job trying to be the floor leader at the point guard spot. It was clear to any knowledgeable basketball fan that Omaha needed to improve in that position more then anything. The 2nd most pressing need would to simply get some scorers. With only two players in Rose and Stephenson scoring in double digits it was accepted that getting a 3rd player who could put up 10ppg+ a night would go a long way in making this team a playoff contender.
This draft seemed to be strong for point guards. With Dave Troychack while recognized more as a shooting guard, but still good enough to play the point. Jimmy Whalen and John Gaiser were most likely whom Omaha would need to choose from. While Wahlen was recognized as a better passer, Gaiser was geared to put some points on the board with some decent passing ability. Overall Whalen was probably a little bit better. When it came to draft time, unfortunately for the Wild ownership they never got the chance to decide between Whalen and Gaiser, as Salt Lake traded their #3 pick to Nebraska who snatched him away. Disappointed slightly, Omaha selected Gaiser with the #4 pick. It was shortly thereafter in which Omaha found out that Gaiser was illiterate which apparently was something common from the graduates of Chesapeake U.
With the 35th pick Omaha selected big man Samson Reeves, which was coined by some of the experts in the league as one of the steals of the draft. Ellis Law was selected with the #47 pick.
Gaiser played respectable for a rookie point guard trying to run a team. He manged 6 assists and 11 points a game. But his unrefined shooting style led to many defensive rebounds. John Felton has a strong year averaging a double-double with 10 boards and 11 points a game.  When it was all said and done. Omaha only won 4 more games then the previous year. Oddly enough Omaha made no trades during the season as they were hoping to give this team a solid chance to gel.

Points: Frank Rose 17.9

Season 7:

     Things began to look bleak early into the off season with no first round picks, Omaha was relegated to hoping for a diamond in the rough. They selected Peter Parker out of the University of Utah. His spider like senses made this selection appear to be a smart on. They also selected another guy, but he was such a poor player that mentioning his name would be a sin.

Management decided they needed to make some deals to try to bolster the team and hopefully let their fans know they were indeed trying to build a winning franchise. However, their lone trade of the year was met with a significant amount of fan opposition. They traded Frank Rose, Bill Reynolds, J.J. McCauley, Oregons season 8 2nd, Omaha's season 9 2nd and 1 million for season 7. In exchange Omaha received Walt Rodgers, Ray Houle and a 2nd round pick.

There is no doubt that Walt Rodgers is a good talent but to give up so much just to get Rodgers was clearly something that only the delusional or Alaska management would consider. As predicted the season was a severe disappointment for the fans. Winning a mere 19 games out of 80 attempts apparently is not a good way to bolster ones fan base.

Rodgers did lead the team in scoring and had a strong year, but this team was in shambles and scoring less then 90 points a game does not win many games in the WBA.

Points: Walt Rodgers 18.5

Assists: John Gaiser 7.2

Steals: John Gaiser 1.9

Season 8:

     The only thing worse about being one of the worst teams in the league, is being one of the worst teams in the league and not have your own 1st round draft pick. Perhaps now The management were regretting the deal they made back in season 5 where they send Tyler Durden and the their season 81st round pick to Salt Lake whie getting Franke Rose and John Felton. Considering that Salt Lake Selected Dennis Evans with the Omaha pick and the Wally Birkhead a pick after, Omaha had to be wishing they could have selected one of those two fine players.

Not all was lost, as Omaha did own the #8 pick where they quickly selected Branko Filipovic a strong shooting SG/SF who loved to bomb from down town. They also selected the youngster Gerhold Verholm who many believed would become a all-star player after several years in the league. Overall it was viewed as a solid draft for the team. And if anybody thought that the Wild were opposed to making trades based off the previous two years. They were in for a shock. As Omaha be the time the season was done would confuse people as if they were a Montana or New York based team.
The first major trade occurred shortly after the draft. Sending Walt Rodgers and a future 1st to Capetown in exchange for Ed Bryant, Lyutfulo Sobirov and a 2nd round pick. Omaha was the 3rd wheel on this deal and it didn't appear to be a strong move once again. The 2nd move occurred during preseason when Omaha picked up Felipe Juarez and casch for a 2nd round pick and a season 11 1st round pick. Again, continuing the history of making unwise trades. The 3rd trade which actually seemed to be okay was sending Gaiser and Jovanny O'Neil to Varese in exchange for Tyler Durden, Pepe Garcia and a 2nd round pick. While Gaiser was playing well, he simply wasn't going to lead this team anywhere.
Early on in the season Omaha made what may be regarded as one bright moment in making trades. Shipping Durden to Miami in exchange for over the hill Schooter Jacobs and Miami's season 9 1st round pick. With the team playing much better in which they would go on to win 33 games; a rash decision was made. The wild shipped off Pat Stephenson to Montana, in exchange for some no names along with Bernie Cobb, Yuri Vilasny and a 1st.  This trade was viewed as one that could potentially pay big dividends, however not having a legit center would come back to haunt this team for years to come.

Season 9:

     Fans has started to believe that again this team could become one that sees post season play. With the #9 pick Omaha selected Harry Kramer and then selected Scott Currie at the 14th selection. They drafted some foreign guy in the 2nd round, but again, you will never hear of him.
With the season well under way and the Wild roaming around 35% winning percentage, they made a trade just before the deadline. The received Frank Rose back along with Oliver McCarty and a 2nd round pick. While giving up their PG Vilasny and Michael Kutak along with a future 1st round pick. They also quickly moved on a deal with London giving them Brian Collins, a 1st round pick and PG Johnny Meynardie. They had to give up Peter parker, Felipe Juarez and a 1st and 2nd round pick.
These moves proved to be beneficial for the team. Ellis Law was coming into his own despite playing only 27 minutes a game. He was leading the team in scoring. McCarty was handling the point guard duties. Brian Collins was showing that he was one of the up can coming shooting guards in the league. If there was anything disappointing about the trades, it had to be Frank Rose. Not dealing well with being relegated to non-starter minutes, he played like he wanted out of town and fast. The team was coming along with 6 players averaging in double figures for scoring. And the biggest news was making the playoffs for only the 2nd time in team history. Though Cancun crushed Omaha like a semi driving over a grape. This was still something the fans could be happy about.

Season 10 Review

Here we are with a new season in the WBA.  Where will the Wild go? What will the Wild do? Is there life after Donovan Jones? Last season the Wild ended their season in a playoff sweep by Cancun 0 - 3. Every fan was expecting at least one playoff win, but got nothing. So in the off-season the Wild's main job was to make cap
room and sign the back duo that the organization traded for the previous season. Critics told the Wild that they could not sign both of them, so the organization made sure that they could. The first thing they did was remove the salary of Frank Rose by cutting him to let him resume his WBA career that needed him. Then the ownership told Jerry Meynardie that they would not pick his contract demand up, making him a free agent.  The biggest move in the Omaha Wild's organization was trading Donovan Jones and Scott Currie for Tony Dimateo, #4 pick in season 10, Oregon's 14th Season 1st Rounder, and Oregon's 11th  and 13th Season 2nd  Rounder picks. With this trade
it allowed Omaha to get back in the draft, and also created more salary cap room. Omaha was not done there with the fourth pick of the draft they selected Al Herbert, Center, but Andorra wanted him more. Omaha traded the rights to Al Herbert to Andorra and they got the number the next pick in the draft which was the 5th pick. Omaha also received Andorra's 11th Season 1st  and 2nd  round picks. With the 5th pick and had traded any hopes of
having a decent center they took the best center that was available, which was Chad O'Donnell.  Short on the rebound side, but can score and play defense.  For your 10th season Omaha Wild Team Roster.

Projected Starters: PG - Oliver McCarty, SG - Brian Collins, SF - Ellis Law, PF - Tony Dimateo, C - Mike Bennett

Key Role Players: Branko Filipovic SG/SF, Roy Houle SF/PF, Gerhold Verholm PF/C, Chad O'Donnell C.

Key Players: Brian Collins, Oliver McCarty, Tony DiMateo, Branko Filipovic

Rundown:
During the middle of the season the team was not happy with the performance of the team on and off the court rumors of team scuffles between Brian Collins, Harry Kramer and Tony Dimateo was tearing the team apart. So GM Kelley Avery made two key trades that would send this franchise spiraling for years too come. The first was trading Harry Kramer - PF and Andorra 11th season 1st round pick to Roswell and in return Omaha got Cullen
Phillips - PG/SG, Alaska 11th season 1st pick, and Roswell 12th season 2nd pick. The bigger of the two trades was definitely the second. They traded Tony Dimateo - PF, Maurice Evers _ SG/SF, Omaha 15th season 1st pick, Oregon 11th season 2nd pick, $1.25 mil in 10th season and a future 2nd round pick. Omaha got Ramiro Watts - C and Jamie Crouch - PF/C. With all the fighting over the team made a late run for the last playoff spot. The experiment of Jamie Crouch was not working out so GM Avery traded Crouch to Gabon for hired gun Derek Vinyard - SF/PF and $3.00 mil in season 10.  After All of the moving of players the Wild fell short of their goal to make the playoffs by 4 games. The final record of the team was 35 - 45. The team improved by 3 games but did not reach the playoffs.

Season 11 Review

Last season the Wild record was 35 - 45. During the off season they re-signed Scott Currie for an extended for 5 yrs @ $4.75 with a No Trade Clause.  In the drafted the GM Kelley Avery picked at number 3 - Davion Stahl - PG, at number 7 - Scott Berger - SF, and at number 12 - Raheem Qualls - PF. During the Free Agent signing period GM Avery signed Angelo Bacchi to 5 years for $5.0 mil per year. GM Avery also signed Andres Fernandez to a 1
year for $0.25 mil per year. The last free agent that GM Avery signed was Roy Houle to a 1 year for $0.25 mil per year. In the off season they also traded Derek Vinyard -SF/PF, draft pick number 40 and 51 in season 11.

Probable Starting 5: PG - Oliver McCarty, SG - Brian Collins, SF - Gerhold Verholm, PF - Ramiro Watts, C - Mike Bennett

Key Reserves: Davion Stahl, Scott Currie, Angelo Bacchi

This team was picked by some to win the division. They have a ton of depth. Verholm is the key to the success in what the Wild will do this season. After letting Filipovic go in free agency coach Kelley had to shore up his bench. With three pick in the top twelve pick this team has a lot of young talented players. So the "Wild Bunch" Stahl, Currie, Bacchi, Berger, Qualls, and O'Donnell will have to play big for this team to compete with the elite. During the season GM Avery made some trades and the first of them was Omaha getting their 15th season 1st round
pick back from Frankfurt giving them Cullen Phillips and Oregon 14th season 1st round pick. The next trade that GM Avery made was aquiring New York 13th season 2nd rounder pick and receiving $1.0 mil in season 11 and GM Avery gave up Chad O'Donnell to Cancun. The last trade was with Frankfurt. GM Avery aquired Clarence Collins, Jim Woods and Alaska 14th season 2nd round pick, but gave up in the trade Mike Bennett and Scott Currie.

The offense was 4th from the bottom with only 95pg that is one of the many reasons the wild have been the worst team in the WBA this season. Davion Stahl a guy thought to be classified as ROY material averaged only 5.4 points per game. Watts lead the team with just a shade over 17. The Wild Season on offense was very disappointing. The Defense for this team struggled to stop anyone and needed help.  The team was 7th from the bottom and giving
up 104.6 point per game.  The future of the Wild Organization will get hopefully better by having 2 chances to win the draft lottery and probably the best 2 chances with Cincinnati’s pick and their own. Worst case situation they probably have 2 top 5 picks. That can change the future greatly. The future look better then the past season, but the key is the Wild Organization needs to be patient and let the talent develop. This has been a shocking season. This team was supposed to be a team on the rise but instead it was a car wreck. This has been one of the worst seasons in this franchises history.  The team finished 20 - 60.
