Import - Groves/Grizzard (Boti). Centers choices

another test

Grizzard played very few games last year coming in at the tail end of the regular season. He seemed to improve every game which made me wonder how good he would be now with the 36ers after the initial testing period and then for a whole season. I would be prepared to give him another run.

I wouldn't touch Grizzard or Grooves.

I don't see too much wrong with going with one import - alot of other teams will be running one import or budget imports and as much as we all hate to admit it it is a stop gap season.

Gilchrist
Ng
Hill
Herbert
Holmes
Ballinger
Burston
Sturt or Garlepp (Sturt is very erratic and dosn't offer alot of inside or bulk for his height, dosnt get into the key alot either, Garlepp haven't seen play.)

Hey Isaac, what's the minimum wage you can make in the NBL? Does it start at some amount for a development player and then increase for each year of service, or is it less refined than that?

Is $150k a realistic price tag for your average NBL import these days? (As opposed to a gun import like Ere)

How about guys like Ingles and Worthington last year?

Anyone know rough figures?

Jake, I know Bonzi would be a great signing, I was just wondering if you mentioned him because of a rumour, or because he was just a random player who popped into your head?

It might not be a bad thing to save $$ to and not go all out first season in...rememeber it pays to think for the future..

i think SOS will certainly be thinking further ahead than this year...

building blocks start from the ground up, and with a good foundations comes a strong bulding...

Isaac - I'd have thought they could have postponed Gilchrist's trials by a week or two, watched the D-league in person and brought a second import home to trial alongside him?

Unless they always intended the second import spot to go to an ex-NBL / known import?

If we need another import, why didn't Scotty and co. stay for the Summer League and scout another player instead of flying home with just one?

Jake, any reason why you mentioned Bonzi Wells or Bobby Jackson as options? A guy like Bonzi would be awesome, but seems a bit out of left field!

I'm liking the idea of getting Antoine out of bed for $150k and a years supply of beer and steak! Maybe we could have a word with Foley and ask him to arrange for Walker to have a stupendous run of luck at the Casino, so he can pay off his gambling debts? No risk, we don't have an ICAC in this State!

Would love to see Ingles back, Jake, just as long as the 'weights room' you're talking about isn't mums kitchen. That would be the wrong kind of weight!

As far as our more likely options - Groves and Grizzard - not feeling real excited about either of them. Hopefully if Gilchrist is a good enough playmaker, Grizzard could feed off him and have a good year, but am not overly confident!

Would prefer a SF to a SG, because I think Holmes unbalances our team starting at SF. I just don't think he's quick enough or a good enough shooter. Would rather live with Hill starting at SG.

Garlepp has the potential to be a good SF/PF but he certainly isn't a centre. He doesn't even play centre in the local league.
