Aaron Bruce

The trouble is that he cain't get his free throws in.

I enjoyed Bruce's alley-oooops to Grant , even though a lotta people cain't stand them.

Was that Aaron Bruce playing for the Sydney Kings on Friday that you saw anon ? Number 11 .
I've never met him or spoken to him , but he played very well and set up the win.
While some a big fans of Luke Cooper.
The few sixers I've met briefly have all been friendly. Only one that wasn't . His voice trailed off inchoately sayen that he was happy with the minutes Ninnis gives him. He played for the Gold Coast here last nite and I cain't comment on his ability.

Always loved Aaron since his first season at Baylor. He starred in his first 2 years at Baylor as that combo scoring guard. Haven't seen him play that sort of role yet in the NBL. I get the feeling Aaron will be one of the players that will never see much team success but will always be a good player on an average team.

I listed him as a SG and consider him a combo guard as yes he is erratic at times, hence why i would use him at SG a fair bit so he isnt always the main distributor, but yea is a good passer and playmaker aswell.

As a combo guard his As/TO ratio seems ok to me, not that much lower than Martin's and Bruce plays with more flair offensively, hence a few more turonvers and as a combo guard thats fine to me.

Yea probably wouldnt be a huge difference maker as far as ladder position but he is better than both Ng and Herbert, also likely to be more expensive and he isnt a star defender but his defense is solid enough to me probably better than most of our guards.

Im a bit surprised the 36ers didnt atleast offer him the back up PG/SG spot, even if it was just Ng's spot, he is definatly worth that, i would have offered him starting SG with Herbert as his back up, he did ok last season considering he was out of the game for over a year IMO. Sure kings would have outbidded him on Ng's spot but yea we should have atleast spoken to him and seen if he would stay at a reasonable price as our 5th starter at SG or 6th man type role and average salary for that type of player.

Well , that's what he gets for playen those two with injuries (and taken 18months off basketball).
Thought it was pretty good ,last nite , even though ya reckon he cain't play.
While others don't hate anything , except hatred.

Muzz Buzz, he isn't really a true PG so theres no point comparing his assist to turnover ratio.

He is a combo guard, and used at the 2 position commonly. His role this year has been to be aggressive and look for his shot and he has done that. His role isn't solely to go out there and be a passive distributor, so the assist to turnover ratio stats don't really say much about how well he has played thus far.

Plus he had 9 assists and 1 turnover last night, so its really not a great time to mention his assist to turnover ratio.

Bruce is a lot like Hill. When they left the club, they have excelled. And on both occasions against us, Aaron played well with the Kings. So it says something about the coach now doesnt it?
