Illawarra Hawks' Kirk Penney signing now official

This season will be even better than last season with all this returning talent. Hopefully the gulf between the best & the worst has narrowed and the playoff spots are decided in the final two rounds.

Maybe the best example for the import would be a young Vukona before he developed his offensive game.

Agree Paul. Was about to post similar.

No. Not Walker either. Would prefer a player with some basketball IQ.

I can't place a player to use as an example because most NBL imports have to be scorers of some note. Ideally this guy could defend the post and the bigger NBL wings.

In my opinion they need the import to be a bit bigger than a Dorsey/Craig type and a better defender and rebounder. BUT. They don't need to have the offensive talents of either of those you mentioned.

I think the type of player they need should be easy to get out off college. Athletic defender with a limited offensive game who is a little undersized for the NBA.

"Is Penney at SF a liability defensively?"

Against the likes of Childress, Abercrombie, Blanchfield, and a few other imports he may be.

Forman at 4 is also poor in that area.

That is why the Hawks will be even better if they can get a budget role playing import who is limited offensively but can defend at the 4 and 3 spots and rebound. Think along the lines of a very poor man's Rodman type.
