Point guards in the NBL
I agree if we cant get Schensch id be happy to get Petrie or Wagstaff instead of Dowdell and/or Holmes, as even though they are undersized against most C's they would provide some interior defense, rebounding and versatile scoring, and some toughness/attitude.
With Point guards, as far as Aussie PG's go i reckon a fully fit/inform Bruce is only behind Gibson and Martin as far as Aussie Pgs in the NBL go, and a Bruce/Carter combo is about as good as it gets from Aussie pg combos, so i hope we can retain them both, obviously if we can get Gibson, Mills or Markovich go for it as they would be upgrades, but i dont think anyone else is better than Bruce, after a pre-season and fully fit playing like his rookie season/college career.
I think that a faster moving/free flowing offense would suit Bruce better than a slow overly structured offense, so i hope Mary releases the shackles a bit next season if Bruce is still here, i think the whole team would benefit from this also.
I agree with Paul fast moving wings and a aussie pg seem to be the way to go, say we Sign Schenscher (or Petrie or Wagstaff) at C id like to see the 36ers go after a athletic versatile 2/3/4 like a Tremell Darden in one import spot and the other go for an athletic Scoring 2/3 with a decent outside shot and the ability to carry his team to victory ala 2002 Willie Farley,(obviously if we cant get Schensch or someone we would need a import 4/5 who is athletic and provides a inside presence, Ira Clark mould) that along with say Bruce and Ballinger and a fast moving offense would be a good start to reviving the 36ers and atleast make us more exciting to watch and higher scoring, slow paced offense doesnt suit most of our players including guys like Johnson, Creek, Hill, and id say Howard would have been better in a faster/less structured offense, and Winder would have been ok as a SG/SF in a fast moving offense, he just wasnt a pg, i wish they tried him as a SG he did well there in the pre-season along side Carter when Devries was missing some games.
