Hoops

This is how your team responded

Blanchfield has made consecutive contract decisions that were probably good for his bank balance, but not his career... Melbourne he was camped outside the arc waiting for the ball in a stagnant offense, and in Sydney he is playing out of position at the 4 spot. He's a good player and would probably be scoring 12-16 a night on a team like the Hawks.

Shawn Dennis is great at polishing a turd. He's your man

Great players aren't playing well, and you expect rookies like Pineau and Humphries to? Any team needs some rookies to develop, butbthe Kings problem is they have Singh and Thoseby and Daly on top of the rookies. Jeremy Kendle is trash, and the signing was never going to be good.

I haven't seen Blanchfield play well in 3 years!

Do we know who selected the team this season? Not even Popovich could make this roster succeed. They have one decent big man and he's too short to protect the basket. Leslie, Newley, Garlepp and Lisch are fine, but they've got no help. Cadee cannot defend and doesn't do enough offensively to be worth it. Everyone else is not even NBL material. If they couldn't find anyone better, at least keep guys like Maric and Jeromie Hill. Did they try to keep Brandt or Kevin White? Or did those guys run away from the organisation?

I'd go for Shawn Dennis over Gordie as head coach. Both are outstanding coaches with extensive experience, but in this situation where a lot of the players are inexperienced and the team lacks a culture of hard work, Shawn would be perfect.

If you could lure Gordie as assistant to Dennis, even better. It would accelerate the process of turning around this mess. Most likely won't make the finals, but they might just avoid the wooden spoon.

Something has to change doesn't it. I told a mate I would be surprised if Andrew is still the head coach next round.

It's sad to see the Kings in such a bad place, geez I wanted to cheer Tommy when he hit both free throws. I didn't.

Gordie would be good, an ex-King.

Gordie

If they cut Gaze loose they will just do something stupid like sign an unqualified ex-Kings player or a Demopoulos 'NBA' type to replace him.

Gazes body language is that of a dead man walking , will be amazed if he is still there by the end of the week. His reputation as a player should not save him.

Lisch should have stayed in Wollongong with Bevo, sucks to see him apart of this basket case Kings organisation

This isn't good for him.

“Joevan brings something different to the table for us and he will be there to compliment our current crop of bigs.”

“He’s excited about the opportunity to be playing in Australia and we’re looking forward to him representing Wollongong this season.” McLeod added.

Joevan Catron just recently finished his college career with the Oregon Ducks, averaging 15.9 points & 6.7 rebounds per game in his senior year.
