36ers re-sign Creek for 2+1 years

Schenscher $90k, he wont take a 50% pay cut.

Was it really 4 years ago that he asked Clarke to sign him or he'd go to AFL. Time goes by awfully fast, and sliding doors....

Tru Blue, you are correct. Creeky is 22!

At the risk of getting shot down, have a look at other guy's in the twilight of their career and then compare their performance now to when they were 22.

As a aside, how do you comfort a grammar nazi? You say there, their, they're...

Do people forget M.C. is only 22 years old??? He has a lot of developing to do and his ability has the potential take him anywhere.
This is a great signing by the club, to sign a player who will have a break out season, if not this year, the next...mark my words!!!

Marcus Camby, seeing as though you have spent the time to deliciously place your bait on your hook, I'll respond.

I don't think he is actually behind Teys per se. But I'm glad you mention the young lad. Obviously Joey rates him highly and the big reason is he listens to instructions and has a high basketball IQ.

Certainly if I was in Creeky's shoes, the first thing I would do post season is sit down with Joey and ask those dumb questions as far as what do you want from me?, what do I need to improve?, how do I fit in with those plans? etc etc If I didn't feel I could achieve that, or didn't get a decent answer, I wouldn't sign.

From what I know about how NBL Players are treated post season (via talking to former players), if the Sixers didn't think anything of him they wouldn't answer his calls.

The ball is in Creeky's court. I have faith in Creeky and believe he should be aiming to be the next captain after Gibbo.

And if we have to choose between Cadee and Carter, it's Carter for mine.

Cadee provides great energy but honestly we can get that through a number of players providing a spark where needed.

Carter gives more at the defensive end which is perhaps where we need the most improvement. His lock down defensive jobs during the finals were a treat to witness. Gibbo and Carter provide the ultimate defensive backcourt while Gibson and Ervin provide the scoring punch.

It's fantastic to see that the "core" of the team has been retained. I still don't think we have seen the best from Mitch and hoping he can have a real breakout season.

For me, the DJ signing or replacement is a critical signing. Import centres haven't been a big hit in recent times, so hopefully the Sixers are persuing Tom Jervis or AJ Ogilvy as security.

Gary Ervin is a "must keep". Best import we have had in god knows how long, we make a grand final, he is a great finisher yet people want him gone.....really?

We are just one decent import away from matching Perth and possibly going one step further.

From FB:

"Mitch Creek has signed a new 2 year deal with an option for a 3rd year with the club!

Fan favourite Creek said "I see myself as a 36er and I couldn't be happier!""

Great news IMO.

By far if you mean nearly ....I agree.

Nice to see the Sixers getting the roster in order. When you consider pre-season is July, that's not much time - about 6 weeks away, and season games start in October (130 odd days away)

Dean won't have any time for Friday golf!

So, what I understand the team thus far is:

Gibson
Teys
BJ
Petrie
Schensch

Who could it be?
DJ - probably the hot tip, with a Euro out option?
Creeky - all the female fans, and male fans U25, would be thrilled
Cadee - maybe sticking around in NZ?
Ervin - is it too early to lock in an import?
Carter - would be a very handy re-sign IMO

From the NBL website, other free agents?
Matt Burston - unlikely
Clint Steindl
Jamar Wilson
Demetri McCamey
Scott Morrison
Auryn Macmillan
Mustapha Farrakhan
CJ Bruton
Kerron Johnson
Gary Wilkinson
Casey Frank
Drake U'u
Damian Martin
Erik Burdon
Jermaine Beal - would be happy
Tom Jervis - an offer would depend on the DJ situation
James Ennis - all is forgiven if you turned blue
Shawn Redhage - very unlikely
Brad Hill - third time lucky?
Shaun Gleeson
AJ Ogilvy
Jesse Sanders
James Harvey
Ben Allen
Charles Carmouche
Sam Young
Jarrad Weeks
Josh Pace
Peter Crawford
Scott Kenny
Greg Vanderjagt
Brian Conklin
Tim Coenraad
Oscar Forman - very unlikely
Rhys Martin
Tyson Demos
Larry Davidson - I'll supply the bandanas
David Gruber
Rotnei Clarke - would be happy if he signed
Shane Harris-Tunks
Kevin Tiggs
Dominique Cooks
