Wilson Signs With 36ers

I do remember Gibson coming over and scaring the daylights out of me one game with a 4th quarter 3pt burst...

At least I think it was Gibbo.

I just don't know what you Wilson detractors are on about.
Any one done a quick look over the stats for CNS-ADL games last season?
All considered the games weren't decided by either Point being obviously better.
Jamar is a handful. All teams struggle to contain his funky basket rolls. He'll unpick Cairns every time for you, and he's been taught the League by one of the best X's & O's coaches, a coach Joey openly respects. Get him to smile and he's a P R dream.
He'll draw a cheer when he's intoduced courtside in Cairns the first time. After the game there will be lots of rumblings about why he was cut.
One thing. He's a bit of a seal. 36'rs need to find a genial blue-water fishing enthusiast to keep the fish up to him ( he'll catch his own, he just needs taking where the fish are).
Cairns can't have everything. That's Adelaide's advantage.

Seems like a decent line-up brewing. Feels like its lost something from last season, although there are still slots to fill so I guess that is unavoidable.

kobe24, Diamon's FT shooting at the Sixers was woeful. Too flat and teams worked out you just foul him and send him to the line. For him to be considered as an import, I think he would have to prove an 80% FT shooting record.

Steven, I agree that a Dunigan type would fit nicely into the Sixers. The biggest complaint around here has been a lack of aggression on boards with the Sixers giving up too many OR's. A Dunigan type to crash the boards to fit in with a running game.

schenscher scored freely over simpson (and weigh) didn't score on helliwell. neither did nevill.
anyways, joey looking for a tall athletic guy to replace triple mvp wineer, daniel johnson

joey in usa looking for djs replacement, story on tennews,last nite

Please chase Diamon Simpson.
He really would keep us up with the Joneses.
Best undercoached import we have had.
Pleeeeaaaase.

Wilson (9)/
Gibson (10)/Teys (1)
Crawford (6)/Creek (6)
Petrie (8)/ Anthony (5)
Johnson (8) or Import (10)/Schenscher (9)

Would bring back Carter or go Daniel Dillon for the last spot

..wilson very good at times. only moderate others.
joey should get more outa him. I said;"Talalovich was crazy , Joe."

yeah, i'm not sold on Creek or Gibson.

I'd be happy to have Jamar in my team, a quality player and person and should be thinking about citizenship soon enough. Could be a huge signing when you think of the loyalty of imports in the league and the potential of 4/5 new teams next season (when he could be an Aussie citizen).

My concern with the 36ers is still the reliance on Gibson... Face it the guys a dud and takes court time away from others that could develop into better players than he is.

Not impressed with either the Crawford or Wilson signing, at least in part because they are both well on the way to being past their peak in my opinion.

People seem to think Creek will step up and become the 'X-factor', but I wouldn't be banking on it.

At this stage I'm trying to contain the disappointment and waiting for the excitement - and the hope - because at the moment it feels like the 36ERS have found themselves in a 400m freestyle event in which they are at best dog-paddling.

And yes, I have paid for tickets, plus booking fee, plus parking.

I'd be pretty happy to have Wilson and Crawford coming off my bench !!

Wouldn't be jumping for joy if I was a 36ers supporter.

He is a solid import.

I think a lot of other teams are making big changes to their teams and will be vastly improved e.g Melbourne, Breakers, Kings.

Adelaide will have to keep up - not convinced the signings of Crawford and Wilson help that.

Jamar is such a talented basketballer....depends how coach plans to use him.
