New Import for Sixers?

You'd think he'd get it right!

Boti says Randall but seems Randle, to be precise.

Could be Randle?

Thanks.

Jerome Randell

isaac,i dont sulk,as long as he can play i be happy.

Gibbo with more responsibility seems to as well.

If we were only relying on Gibbo I think that would be a real concern based on his lack of consistency and inability to make end of game plays.

Do you have a little clue on new import Isaac?

Hope Sixers find a star import so they can rise and play in finals again.There has only been one name risen on this hoops,so hopefully Joey finds a star shooter.

Wilson.Clarke,or an import who can run and stun under Joeys system.

Plus, a proven record by Wright with those imports still to make the finals.

More than just keeping it in perspective, some posters need to pull their heads in.

36'ers ALL-TIME WORST IMPORTS

Feel free to continue this list boys........ :0

From one of Boti's articles in 2013, for those who want to reminisce...

ALL-TIME FIVE SCORERS

PG - Robert Rose. Could go over, under and through the defence and was so spectacular, teammates often stood back to just watch his wizardry.
SG - Willie Farley. On a roll, Farley was freakish with his Michael Jordan-mimicked turnaround baseline fadeaway jumper, three-point swish or down-the-lane dunk.
SF - Reg Biddings. You cannot hold a league scoring record, lead the scoring and not be included, Sir Reg a quality shooter who believed "defence" meant outscoring your direct opponent.
PF - Mark Davis. History views Pud as a rebounder first (which he was) so it is easy to forget how often he scored putbacks, dunks, jumpshots before developing a three to boot. He averaged more than 27 points per game in 1985 and 1990.
C - Dan Clausen. The 1984 All Star Five selection also is mainly seen as a rebounder but was a quality scorer with putbacks, mid-range, hooks and dunks.

ALL-TIME FIVE BEST NAMES

PG - Julius Hodge
SG - Jo Jo English
SF - Paris McCurdy
PF - Diamon Simpson
C - Orlando Phillips
Bench: Butch Hays, Troy DeVries, Cortez Groves, Dusty Rychart, Leon Trimmingham.

ALL-TIME FIVE BEST IMPORTS

PG - Darnell Mee. Dual championship winner, multiple Best Defensive Player.
SG - Willie Farley. Championship winner, MVP runner-up 2005.
SF - Robert Rose. All Star. Superstar. Could do it all and be played from 1-to-4.
SF/PF - Kevin Brooks. Dual championship winner, championship series MVP 1998.
PF/C - Mark Davis. Club's only league MVP (1987) and the championship series MVP 1986.

ALL-TIME FIVE WORST IMPORTS

1. Scott Christopherson. What the heck was the coaching staff even thinking?
2. Jeff Brown. Big and cumbersome, totally wrong for our league. Cut in-season.
3. Mike Chappell. Previously a great player but came in injured and never fired. Cut.
4. Mark Tyndale. Young man in a strange land, never figured it out. Cut.
5. Brian Devincenzi. Cut after six games, carried an injury, never showed his best.

^Not an overly inspiring list is it?

Im actually just glad we are getting all these NBA guys in our league. The Ennis experiment really put the blowtorch to recruiting around the league.. and I think Ill say a little further that the NBL was just going through the motions for years and then Ennis hit and suddenly teams had to decide whether to compete or take their bat and fold.

Well Ere has obviously chewed everything else by the look of it Kobe 24.
What a massive boost if we could get a real outside shooter that can defend.
Oh well can dream as they don't cost.

Change of ownership since last year when the former owners (the ones Kobe thinks had the cash) needed to be bailed out.

Motum was signed to a back ended deal. So he would have been on big bucks if he played for a second season

Someone above mentioned Ben Gordon who is a former NBA sixth man of the year. That would be an incredible signing but 36ers would not have the money I would think.

Might be Milos Teodosic

exactly what championship teams from interstate are coming / have registered over Easter?

whilst the other tourney seems to be in direct oppostion at the championship grade - A grade at the Norowood tourney will be still be ok and i am keen to get our team in A grade.

A right out there concept is maybe Norowood needs to shake hands with Timms and Gaze and call it the "great SE Challenge" or similar and one year melbourne gets the championship grade and Adelaide the A grade and reverse it the next year. That way everyone gets in on the action.

champioship grade would be VC, metro 1 and SA Div 1 and any top 3 Div 2 team.

A grade could be and lower Vic metro 1, any met 3, 3 teams, regional teams. Any bottom SA Div 1 teams, Div 2 and any top 3 Div 3 teams etc.

that would put some fresh teams in the mix and help keep some of the attractions of the norwood tourney.

Unfortunately trying to run a championship Div in the Norwood tourney whilst the other is on in Melb will be pushing uphill.

however A grade should remain untouched and a good trip for Vic metro 1,2,3 and regional (ie mildura) teams.

If i was the norwood president I would be giving Timms and Gaze a call re combining with the alternative idea.

can you please tell me who from interstate is coming here this easter
