Interesting Julius Hodge article
what do people think, is the article an accurate picture of the Julius we have seen here??
I think he has shown good heart, leadership and a never say die attitude in the games ive seen him play, i think those things with his all round game make him a great import and player to build around

With the qualities he possess, he can still be moulded into the exact player the 36ers need. If he can score 39 in one game and consistently score well, then his shot problem is not that severe. I would not have brought up the issue about his shot after the Cairns game. Who knows, this may be improving already with the role he plays with the 36ers. He is still relatively new here in Adelaide but what has been written about him may very well be a thing of the past.

i think his shot may have been effected by the shooting he was involved with.

Can anyone shed light onto why Giddey would be signed as a next star instead of a roster spot? Seems to me that he could have been signed on a 1 year deal and the 36ers could have then got a next star as well.I mean, if you switch "roster spot" with "import spot" that applies to every Next Star.
Sign him to a regular roster spot, he takes up a lot of space under the cap, and now you can't afford one of your other rostered players.
It's not quite as restrictive as with non-local Next Stars, because there are more potential spots for them to fill, but the same thinking applies. You can't just keep converting Next Stars to roster spots and end up with infinite money/cap space/players.
