Erik "Eze" Burdon

Bretts the man,

To say that Burdons defensive abilities are of similar standard to Winitana's is completely ridiculous. IMO Winitana is one of the best defenders in the league and Eze whilst being a brilliant shooter isnt really up to NBL standard on the defensive end.

Hopefully Burdon can continue to improve on both ends are become a long time servant to the sixers

skud, I wouldn't call the 3 minutes and 9 points performance he put in last night would be classified as developing a rookie, not so much because of his achievement in that time but more so because of the limited time. If anything it looked more like Burdon was developing the coach into having more faith in him and giving him more court time.

KB style. Would be handy, 'tis true.

Re-activate Mike McKay immediately.

B-easy - Wouldn't say the Sixers' perimeter game is "lacking so ridiculously".

Davo, Maher and Ballinger shoot at a good clip, as evident last night. Holmes, Hill, Bruce and Winitana also have their moments. Grizz has outside ability as well.

I like his very in-depth description of his playing career on the sixers website. see below:

I said on here a few months ago , that he sits on the bench , and gets one minute , and shoots a three.
I think he missed one once. Gotta be worth a few minutes when we need three points a minute.

Isaac,
That is a very good suggestion, give yourself a ball!

He has won the medal in the local league and is probably odds on for a back to back in 2009. Maybe it's time for a season in NZ?

Would hate to see him in a 'Goons uniform.....

His three point shot looks good but his D? Hardly a showing yet, give the guy some time to develop and adapt to NBL.

By my calculations at the rate of 9 points in 3 minutes, he would have scored 144 if he played the whole game. Now that seems rather silly but you can't hide from the fact that he can seriously add value to a game. He needs to be brought on more often and definitely every time there is a boost in score required.

Guy is a ledg, should get more court time. I think everyone agrees.

Give him more time this season (who from?)
Promote him off the rookie list next season.
