Hawks re-sign Kevin White for one year

Kevin White is another one of those players who's value doesn't show on the stat sheet.

No I am not suggesting he is a Damien Martin type player but he holds his own, can hit the occassional outside shot and has the confidence of the coach.

If he is at the right price (somewhere in the 5 for $400k rule range) I think it is decent value for what he brings experience and leadership wise.

Do you mean take Demos when he was playing or Demos now?
I think Demos is doing Indigenous Case work, so I'd say he might not be NBL ready.

Martin much better than White and i wouldn't take neither Demos or White as i'l play one player short in the roster

That resigning just F****ked my day up.I just hope he starts the first five minutes of games and then he sits on the end of the bench and we hardly see him for the rest of the game.

Who on here would take Tyson Demos over Kevin White?

I'm curious as to those posting on here, as Hawkheads didn't seem happy that Tyson didn't get a contract last season and now he is all but forgotten

"That "such a long free agency period" line could suggest any number of things, few of them overly positive for the Hawks?"

Exactly. Reading between the lines Hawks held out looking for an alternative to him until they realised there's nothing better out there as his replacement relative to cost.

He's been anything but conservative so far, Ogilvy was unfortunately already contracted, and he's only re-signed 2 bench players so far. Blanchfield and Naar are both new and project to be starters or at least heavy rotation players.

Guys like White and Coneraad are essential role players who sit 9-11 on the roster, it's the top 8 who play the bulk of minutes that make you a contender, the import signings will be key. Players 9-11 just need to be hard working role players who compete.
