Hoops

Hawks sign Max Darling to three-year deal

NZion.

They are after newbill at the 2.

Ns also + import

Considering hawks started behind the eight ball, they have done well, one more import and there done. Don’t see wooden spoon here.

He also went to Croatia when he was 17. I think that says something about his character and he's probably experienced some tough coaching. Under Goorj, he will thrive.

Marfan man.

The aba league has a few good sides playing, but the individual leagues are not that good. They were great years ago but lack of money curtailed it. Serbia the best of the old leagues.

how good is the Croatian league? Seems like the games are played in front of a few hundred people

They will get a ns big no doubt.

Will need to be able to hit outside jumpers to be an effective 4 man in the NBL playing alongside Bairstow. Unless Goorj plans on Darling as the back up 5?

Moneke is an import where Darling is classed as a local. Even if Darling is on minimum in his first season it’s still more than he’d earn in Croatia.

I hope the Hawks are going to score 90 plus points a game because I think defense is going to be a problem for them

For the Blackadder fans out there I can hear Gorj yelling out "Get me a rebound darling!"

Pity no Moneke, similar player

Deng Adel, Bairstow, Harvey aren't bench guys I imagine. If Naar is starting, then they're just looking for their second import and they're set starting 5 wise.

Benchies, if you've got Froling, Deng, Grida, Darling then you're mostly set bench wise too, they're all young (and Grida injured), so they just need a couple of vets to round it off.

How do you take players from other clubs that are contracted, unless there is mutual agreement on both sides.

well, it's been dispelled multiple times now, and so has the random Machado to United one. Let's just say I'm in the know on these and leave it at that. My source is as solid as it gets on these two deals.

For someone so adamant, you don’t know where the rumour came from - Liam Santamaria is as credible as it gets. If Santamaria discusses it, it’s worth discussing here for sure

Think he’ll be a 4 in nbl. Strong kid.

At 6’6” he’s a three man. It’s a signing for the future, did ok in Croatia, 10 and 5 in 28 minutes. It’s not a very strong league though.

Can’t be Kyei now.


Can only be ns and import or local.

KET, for the last time, Kyei isn't leaving the 36ers! that was a random rumor started by some people on Facebook, or bored basketball fans ran with it, just like they did with the Machado to United deal.

Move on, nothing to see here

If Kyei left Adelaide, bring Andersen in?

Possibly, they need a 5th big.

Looks to be.

Hawks-Goorjan
(I)/6’1 E.Naar/6’0 L.Dent(DP)
6’4 T.Harvey(I)/6’2 I.White/6’6 D.Grida
6’7 D.Adel/6’8 D.Deng
PF/6’6 M.Darling
6’9 C.Bairstow/6’11 S.Froling


Import 1 + ns pf I reckon.

I find myself in a bit of a pickle, my best player doesn't show up to enough trainings, rolls up to games late and at times doesn't even show.
We have a grudge game coming up this week that I really want to win, but I also want to set an example and drop him.

HELP would be much appreciated!!
