Josh Childress re-signs with the Sydney Kings
Sorry wrong thread but anyway


Sorry Anon, if he was the same defensive player that he was when he won the team DPOTY, then I would agree with you, and did defend him (semi-pun intended) at the start of last season and the one before, but even at that end he was consistently losing his assignment and just didn't seem to have his head in the game... As a 9/10th spot player, he's done his dash and fresher talent needs to be looked at...

That's right White has not improved in 3 seasons with the Kings.
Let some other local talent have a go.

White even dropped off defensively this last season or two, after he won the team DPOTY award... He was a liability at both ends last season, I don't care if he dropped 50ppg in SEABL, he's had more than his fair amount of chances at NBL level and he's gone wanting... Even as a 10th spot player, a huge no thanks, as no doubt he will need to play more minutes than he should and all the other good recruiting will be for naught...


Need SG now - Rotnei Clarke would be nice.
Someone like YoungAbrecombie to back up JChill.
No White please - too many turn overs and can't shoot. All players stay off him and clog up the lanes.

I'd be happy with Muo or even U'u to back up Chill, if we can get a gun import SG (I agree that we shouldn't really need to go budget with that import) and a good local back up guard...


Why does it need to be a budget guard. Childress can be signed for marquee money, JK will cost a bit but everyone else on that roster are not big money earners I would think. Should be able to get a top class combo if they do their homework considering it is probably the most bang for your buck position out there.

I would expect a budget import at SG. Someone that can hit an open 3 would be nice.


More good news for the NBL, halleluiah brother! If only we can get something in the print media or the TV instead of all the footy all the time??
Sorry, I sometimes climb onto a soap box about our lack of media...

I can see a line up of Khazzouh, Hill and Childress at the 3 playing at times. I think Hill has the capacity to quickly move past Garlepp - only time will tell.


The J-chillin re-signing is massive for the kings and the league.
Teams often sign "superstar" imports but rarely retain them.
J-Chill is a legit superstar import that could play anywhere, so it's a great step forward that he's chosen to come back.
