Devondrick Walker to South East

Porque no los dos?

If White was to depart the wildcats I wouldn't mind Walker.

""Obviously SEM have no chance of making playoffs"
Not true."

Ok, let me rephrase: SEM have absolutely no chance in hell of making the play-offs.

Walker was brilliant on debut, and frankly I'm puzzled as to why it's taken this long, and SEM, to get him back to the NBL.
But this only makes sense as an audition for next season, and then only if other changes are in the wind.

It's good to have a game in Perth. He'll love the crowd and sign for Perth next season.

"He'll be suffering jet lag this weekend,"

A long air trip, certainly, but not much of a time difference problem. Perth is 7 hours ahead of Roanne in France. So the 9:30pm Perth tip-off will correspond to an early afternoon time slot in Roanne.

Note that the Perth-Auckland time difference is 5 hours, so it'd be only a couple of hours off of the time difference the Perth players have to deal with when playing in NZ.

If he hydrates and SEM shell out for first class or business class, he might not be too jet lagged on Friday night.

He’ll be suffering jet lag this weekend, no way he plays much if at all. He played in France on the 10/1/20. It’s all a bit late if the plan is to play finals.

Obviously SEM have no chance of making the play-offs. Maybe they just wnat to add some respectability to their season?
Or maybe they are looking further ahead? Saw Walker was available and decided to give him a go??

So yeah, another SG would appear to be the last thing they needed, but if they're looking to the future, who knows.
Or maybe they think he's athletic enough to hold down the SF role? That's what Perth was going to try..

This makes Friday's game actually worth watching.

It will be nice to see how good an outside threat this guy is.

If (when) Roberson fires, and if Madgen and Walker fires from outside, they can give the game a good shake in the Arena.

The Cats are not invincible at home and are prone to underestimating their opponents.

Terrible acquisition if they wanna make the playoffs. Do they have a big that can back up Pineau? If they think Trist is the answer they are in big trouble.

A three point shooter you say? Exactly what the Phoenix were lacking........

Look forward to seeing what he can do.
Absolute gun three point shooter.

"Broke his hand before he played a game for the Wildcats... replaced by Tokoto"

@Bill Scibilia

Nope, he broke his left foot.

He played for Roanne on the tenth January, was he cut or did Phoenix offer more money and he had an out clause. Strange signing imo. Could Wesley get more time in the 5 and Creek more time in the 4 with Walker starting in the 2 but playing more in the 3.

Interesting signing.
Will be nice to finally see what he can do in the NBL.

The Bandits have the rest of the league spooked!

The Bandits picking up Chumlee seems to have sparked a late season sprint for top 4 spots

Watched highlights, not sure what they saw in him, cannscore n occasion but certainly lay not the dogged defender I thought they would bring in.

What did he do at Perth?

Nice!

Honest question, how difficult would it be to get into the NBL?
physically wise and skill?
It would be so awesome to play in the NBL, and im just wondering how difficult it actually is to get to that level.
Thanks
