Diamon Simpson wants Adelaide return?

Where as far as I can tell he never played a single game

My recollection is that Diamon had a competent short game, average to non-existent mid-range game (beyond about 8 feet), was good on the O boards and put-backs and certainly was a workhorse. He also got to the free throw line a LOT, but repeatedly killed us from there. His action was cringe-inducing. I was not too disappointed he was not retained, he was at best the 'best' of a very poor crop.

I am also not really sure about his reputed defensive prowess. The team's inside D leaked like a sieve that year, although to be honest that could be more on Adam Ballinger and Daniel Johnson (I don't think we played DS very much if at all in combo with Wade Helliwell).

Please bring him back!

He will be even better under a competent coach!

From memory his point and rebound per minute stats were great but there was a question on his fitness limiting his minutes. Yes his free throw shooting was poor and does not seem to have improved.

He shot 52% from the stripe while shooting 57% from the field for Estudiantes in the ACB last season.

I really liked his strength and rebounding around the basket when he played for us. That's something this team has lacked for a long time.

But as others have said, his poor free throw shooting was a real problem. If he has managed to improve that to 60% or so and has added a couple of post moves, I think he could worth another look.
