36ers sign Peter Crawford for one year

I think PC will find some form from the arm this season, less pressure, reduced roll and long recovery since his injury should help him. Plus the friendly hoops we have at the Arena should help him. Id like to see BJ run some solid picks, with a kick out from Big Red to find PC open in the corner.

Dont think we can expect much more from him than that tho. Its well and truly into the back end of his career, any improvements in his game, will come from abandoning development in others. I just hope we paid the right price for him.

Ive said it before. Signing PC is a good signing IF DJ stays...gettin to be more and more of an if as time goes on. Having a 3point threat outside will give him more room to work down low.

If DJs uses his Euro out clause and buggers off, well i got no idea. Everythin hinges on imports then, and a replacement big guy.

Whats Nevil up to?

I like Crawford at the 3 can space the floor and play d. Looks like 1 import if DJ is back

Finally back to just being Big Ads I see; well done on sticking it out :)

Trouble is Dean reads this rot and believes it.

Lets not forget that every team is making changes to "catch up" to the Sixers and Perth. To judge whether the team's roster has been upgraded on last year is premature IMO.

It is clear to me the team will again be very deep talent wise with 2-3 key roster spots (including possibly a "marquee" player) still to be announced.

BJ Anthony,
Peter Crawford,
Mitch Creek,
Adam Gibson,
Anthony Petrie,
Luke Schenscher,
Brendan Teys,
Jamar Wilson.

Sorry , I have to say that this is not looking like an upgrade from last season. Even if DJ returns.

Where do you draw the on what is expensive? $50-70g's, $70-90g's? We'll have to wait until the end of next season to appreciate his real value.

I'am expecting him to have a solid impact off the bench and hoping the nickname Peter "the Microwave" Crawford sticks next season.

At the very least, it will make a nice change watching PC drop long bombs on the opposition instead of the 6ers, especially at the end of the game with the outcome uncertain.

Think Corletto would have been a better option.

ADL wanted a shooter and Corletto can still put the ball through the hoop.

yeah not liking these moves, where is the exciting factor that the run game provided last year? these guys might be solid but the fans love an x-factor and slow retread players are not the answer.

It's hard to forget the silky court skills Wade Helliwell dazzled fans with.

Love it!!

Hearing Jamar Wilson is going to sign as well.

He has had a stella career, but I can't imagine him replicating those successes in a Sixers jersey so if people are looking for something big I think they could be disappointed.

I hope to be proven wrong, but I have some reservations with this signing. A recent review of past players who have come to Adelaide in their twilight to soak up the ambience and shoot hoops would not inspire confidence. It's hard to forget the silky court skills Wade Helliwell dazzled fans with, guys like Marcus Timmons, Lanard Copeland, and Nathan Crosswell never seemed to quite hit the high notes in the Sixers Opera. Players like PC bring an air of maturity and leadership to a team, but are the Sixers lack in in that area?

However, he is a part of my team and as such I wish him the best at Adelaide and will support him.

Jamar Wilson?

Really?
