36ers talking to Crosswell

I would really prefer Bruce to Crosswell, are we all forgetting his first few games last season? Plus several solid performances throughout the year. For a rookie PG I think he did more than enough to retain his spot - depending on how much $$ he is asking for.

Bruce is still young perhaps he is at the cross roads of pursuing a $60k-$100k per year basketball career until he is 30 odd or moving on and getting a profession/trade/what ever and setting himself up.

Basketball in Australia is not a promising option atm for young aspiring players.

Ok, well I guess we will find out soon enough. It would be a shame if Bruce doesn't stay on, because IMO he could become a key player for the Sixers for a long time. But no doubt Ninnis and Bruce himself are in a far better position to make the right call than any of us!

I wasn't aware of those rumours Isaac. Why would he give up basketball in a couple of seasons when he has so much ability?

I agree DB5. While Bruce clearly needs to develop consistency and poise in his game, he's a good enough athlete and has the skill base to become a top notch point in the NBL for years to come. I have no idea why we would prefer Crosswell over his potential.

I'd like to see the Sixers bring in a top notch combo guard so that Bruce, Hill and NG aren't under too much pressure, but they all need to be given a chance to establish themselves. We aren't going to build a powerhouse by renting journeyman who are past their prime every year.

Cannot believe people want Bruce gone after 1 season. The guy is going to be a starter at the point for years.

I dont think the Sixers can make any noise this year with Bruce as the primary point guard, nor with Ng and Hill as the only shooting guards. I think they need to bring in an import who can make an impact at both guard positions. Couple that group with an import 3, Ballinger, Burston, Holmes and a backup 4/5 and they are on the right track.

I have heard a couple of people call Brucey a "MILF magnet"

Last year, he was hailed as a 3 point specialist (3PS). IMO we need all our guards to be 3PS's.

Defence wins championships, but you need to score a 3 in the final play to seal the game, we need a 3PS.

Bruce is very popular with the girls - he is worth bringing back just for that!
