Goekula Kannan, 16(2006-present)

One of the group of players who just love to run. Kannan, the troublemaker of the club on and off the court, is like an Energizer battery that just does not have an ‘Off’ switch. His pace and stamina are definitely qualities that stand out, but just like Aaron Raj, he has a problem with control. Sometimes he just does not realize that he has two hands. Playing in all three major tournaments of the year (Youthwave-Team Genesis, POC, Dalat), he definitely has to have something that the coach recognizes in him. His performances were pretty okay, to the standards of the club, although he has already joined some others in the disappearing act as his hotheadedness fuels some off-the-court matters.

Verdict: Still showing some amount of improvement, to his and the coach's credit, but still not enough to make it a good year for him. (5/10)
Play of the year: Probably keeping his cool during the most recent outing in the Dalat League.
Prediction for next season: His future hangs in a balance. If he decides to play with his head, he should be able to play, but everything could go wrong if he loses his temper. To be positive... he can only get better as time goes by.
