Melbourne Victorys loss could be Brisbane Roars gain, with John Aloisi poised to steal one of the countrys most prolific young strikers from under Kevin Muscats nose.Former Victory youth captain Joey Katebian is on trial with the Roar and will get the chance to prove he deserves an A-League contract in Fridays pre-season clash with Western Sydney on the Gold Coast.Katebian, 20, was cut by Victory in May to pursue other opportunities despite a stunning goal-per-game scoring record at state-league level.In 41 games for Victorys youth team in NPL Victoria over the last two years, Katebian scored 40 times - but his only taste of A-League action for the club was a few minutes off the bench against the Central Coast Mariners late last year.Aloisi, who worked closely with Katebian during his time as a youth mentor at Victory prior to joining Brisbane, reckons hes got his hands on a potential gem.I know Joey well from my time at Victory, Aloisi said.Having played as a striker before, I can see when someone is a goalscorer. Hes a natural goalscorer.Weve got him up here for a week to see how he fits in, not so much as a player but within the squad, to see if he will suit us.The opportunitys there for him and its a gd opportunity.The Roar needs a reliable back-up option to striker Jamie Maclaren, having released import frontman Jean Carlos Solorzano and the versatile Henrique during the off-season.But Aloisi stopped short of claiming Victory had made a mistake by letting Katebian go.Everyone has different opinions on ftball, players, what they need, what they dont, he said.Im sure that people will say that when we lose players its a big mistake.Kevin Muscat knows what hes doing.

The NBA has a boatload of attention-grabbing superstars to keep an eye on this season. But for sheer excitement, the player most worth watching this season is Russell Westbrk. No other player can rack up numbers and highlight-reel dunks like he can. A couple of caveats: Yes, Westbrk does have deficiencies. He can be reckless (4.28 turnovers a game last season, second most in the NBA) and overly aggressive (28 offensive fouls, second among all guards). And he is an average defender (42nd percentile in points per play). But that doesnt make him any less fun to watch. Heres why hes a must-see event:He will posterize anyone at any timePart of what makes Westbrk must-see TV? His propensity to roar through a defense for an emphatic dunk. Consider this: Westbrk has nearly as many unassisted dunks in the past five seasons (122) as prolific slashers Dwyane Wade and DeMar DeRozan have combined (131) and more unassisted dunks than the total number of dunks by new teammate Victor Oladipo (116).Most dunks by guards, last five seasonsIn fact, Westbrk is the king of the unassisted dunk. A lk at all players with at least 20 dunks in a seasons over the past five seasons shows that Westbrk does it at a higher rate and a higher volume than just about anybody (check out the blue dots below). And his numbers from last season (in which 57 percent of his dunks were unassisted) make him even more of an outlier.Unassisted dunks by all players, last five seasonsDots represent all players single-season totals from 2011-12 through 2015-16, minimum 20 total dunks madeHes a monster in transitionWith the ball in his hands, Westbrk is always lking to create chaos -- and he does it well. Last season, no player had the ball in his hands in transition more often, and nobody produced more points, per Synergy Sports Tech. Westbrks totals: 374 times as a ball handler in transition, 398 points produced (1.064 points per play). Only a handful of players came remotely close to his numbers: James Harden, John Wall, Isaiah Thomas, Stephen Curry and LeBron James.All players in transition, 2015-16He is remarkably athleticHis speed, power and toughness are widely recognized, as evidenced by the NBAs newest general manager survey released last week. In a league full of eye-popping athleticism, Westbrk is the only player to receive GM votes in all three categories:From 2016 NBA GM SurveyHe will be fine without DurantWestbrk was second on the Thunder last season with 18.1 field goal attempts per game. Oklahoma Citys No. 1 option, Durant, is gone. But Westbrk has done this before, during the 2014-15 season in particular, and hes more than capable of carrying the offense and, yes, playing efficiently. Below are Westbrks career numbers with Durant (527 games) and without him (61 games). In most instances, his numbers are improved without Durant -- even in categories like turnover rate and defensive rating.Westbrk in games without Durant vs. with himAnd another reason Westbrk wiill be fine: The Thunder have now built a roster specifically to survive the loss of Durant.dddddddddddd True, Oklahoma City might not be as loaded as the Warriors or Cavaliers, but OKCs core is all under 30 and on the rise. Below is a lk at projected stats for Westbrks supporting castrojected 2016-17 statsImprovement from 2015-16 in blue, age in parenthesesAll projections from ESPN.com, except Roberson (Basketball-Reference.com)Hes become a triple-double machineWestbrk racked up a league-best 18 triple-doubles last season, tying Magic Johnson for the most in a season since 1967-68. Could that total increase even more this season? Its entirely possible. The Thunder offense will continue to be fast-paced, so theres no reason to think his passing stats will diminish. And as Kevin Pelton points out in his Thunder season preview, Westbrk grabbed a career-high 18.1 percent of available defensive rebounds last season, nearly as much as the average for a power forward (19.2 percent). Below, a lk at his totals since entering the league -- notice the recent spike:Triple-doubles by seasonIts his franchise nowThe Thunder franchise has had the remarkable gd fortune to draft Durant, Westbrk and Harden in the past decade -- three Hall of Fame-caliber talents. But now that Westbrk is the only remaining superstar on the roster, he is on track to eventually lead the team in total win shares in the OKC era.The top five win share totals in Thunder history (2008-09 to present):1 | Kevin Durant2009-16 Small Forward Games: 561 Win shares: 105.6 (.188 WS/game)2 | Russell Westbrk2009-16 Point Guard Games: 587 Win shares: 67.0 (.114 WS/game)3 | Serge Ibaka2010-16 Center Games: 524 Win shares: 47.6 (.091 WS/game)4 | Nick Collison2009-16 Power Forward Games: 567 Win shares: 28.6 (.050 WS/game)5-t | James Harden2010-12 Shting Guard Games: 220 Win shares: 21.0 (.095 WS/game)5-t | Thabo Sefolosha2009-14 Shting Guard Games: 368 Win shares: 21.0 (.057 WS/game)It seems likely that Westbrk will eclipse Durant as long as he sticks around. He has averaged 9.4 win shares per 82 games in his career. At that pace and playing full seasons, Westbrk would surpass KD during the 2021-22 season, when hell be 33.He could join an exclusive clubProjections have Westbrk averaging more than 25 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals this season. How impressive is that? Very, and historically rare. Only once in league history has a player averaged 25/8/8/2 in a season: Michael Jordan in 1988-89 (though keep in mind that steals werent officially tracked until the 1973-74 season).
