Sam Harris activated for Kings game

Damn wish I could be at the game. Should be interesting to see how he goes. Plenty of upside with his youth. Good learning experience even if he does get schooled. To our benifit in the long run.

Hope I can get it on one at Loxton Hotel.

With the media release and TV news going to the dome today to interview Harris, Clarke , it's an interesting story and I imagine some will go out to have a look at this. Biomechanics and the like.
Clarke - "He won't play 30 minutes, but he will be there to be used, dependant on how the game runs."

Nine news ran the story.
Looks pretty good to me in the middle of a zone , blocking Devries and the like.
A lot more agile, now on offense and the like.

@lakerised, 5 3's dont count for much when you get axed by the club. Nash found himself causing the disruptions everytime he moved on court, but....thats not the topic I guess. I say, give Sam perhaps a few games trial. If it doesnt work, then so be it. I'd prefer a club that tries new things rather than a team that doesnt try anything new and holds its position near the bottom of the ladder. Comprehendre?

Probably better having him sit on the bench than a guard.

Has he definitely signed with the Norf Wockets?

yeh good point. it just struck me as odd, when they were saying he wasnt going to be in the line up until next year and now he is in. will be nice for us to see him though and if he gets minutes we will be able to see if he has some potential

At least he can use up 5 fouls on K Man, and Dowdell and Johnson can rest then.

I imagine he'd sit on the end of the bench and get on if required for a few minutes or not at all.
But you know I could be wrong.

I attended training and while his groundwork aint brilliant or anything that sets the court alight, he does have some good skills. I guess if Mark Nash can make the floor and get a regular gig with no talent, this guy has half a chance with some talent

Worth a shot, Daly wasn't seeing the court anyway. It's looking more and more likely that the starters will change with Johnson coming in, which I think is a positive.

If it means that Johnson starts at centre, with Harris backing him up for some minutes, it will allow Ballinger to play in his, and all forumites, preferred PF spot. Isnt that what all forumites have been asking for over the past few weeks?

Whether or not it works is another matter.

About a month ago - Clarke thought he needed about 9months more work on footwork,speed,body movement
before he'd play.
But working with a Biomechanical expert - Sam has found increases in speed bodymovement footwork
in a month.

Oh no! is he ready to get in? i have a bad feeling this is a gamble that could turn bad. Has anyone seen him training recently? has there been improvements? last i heard he had a lot of work to do. can anyone confirm anything on this?

However if he has made huge improvements it will be great to see a big man in our line up.
