Sixers to announce another player today
I'd be surprised if the Sixers are looking at signing Oscar this early. To me, he is a role player and should not be signed unless he fits with the core personnel. If we are going with Johnson, we have to have another solid big who can rebound and defend as a priority. Maybe Trueman or Dodman? Both of those guys looked solid yesterday and have the size to defend the paint.


From what I recall, Gilchrist's injury was serious enough that its unlikely he will be ready to play NBL next year.
Boti seems pretty convinced that Schenscher and Burston won't play for the Sixers. I assume the thinking is that Johnson would not have come here unless he was told he will start and play big minutes?
I'd prefer to have a more experienced big like Burston or Luke as our starter, but can't complain if Johnson ends up as our starter. By all accounts he is a very talented young big and if Clarke is the coach the Sixers are hoping for, then I'm sure we will see big strides from him over the next two years.
Based on Boti's comments about the Sixers being deep in negotiations with Ballinger, hopefully he is the guy signing today! If we have Ballinger and Johnson locked in, that is a nice core to attract other free agents with. My only concern with that combo would be that neither has a reputation for playing good defence.

Boti's comments today suggest the signing of DJ makes a Schenscher or Burston signing unlikely.
