When doing call ups, especially involving my own players, I do put up the skills of players on the offsite forum between a couple candidates and ask for advice. Ultimately, the decision does come down to me, but I am never going to pick one of my players just for the sake of having him on the NT.
I agree that Demers is a no brainer as the next closest PF is a few seasons away still. The SG position is the only position with real competition this season for roster spots. To start the season off, I would like to field the strongest possible team, but am not afraid to replace players because of game shape, injury, or skills of a player. Go look at some of the teams we play and look at how many teams will start the season off with 18 players. We will play our first game on the 20th and we will open with 10 players. I like to keep the flexibility because we have a few players that will worthy of a call up during the season, Stronks will be there.
So to sum it up, I will ask the community on the offsite forum and then I will make the final call. Whatever is best for Canada is how my decision is made. And SG is crazy, wait until the election is over and I will post the skills of the 4 SGs that are fighting for a spot and just how close they are. And I really lucked out with Hadley salary wise as in the next 3 weeks, he should pop in JS, OD, and Passing that will put him even closer to Kearns and Stronks.
