36ers recruits

[quote="Dissident"We literally looked at over a hundred options for this final position on our list" Head Coach Phil Smyth said. "Mike's credentials were at least on par with every other player in the same mould. What it came down to was the report's that we received about Mike's personality off the court. Everyone we spoke to gave him a glowing reference and stated he would be an asset to our club. In the end, that's what secured the deal for us".

Does this mean "He was the only one willing to sign for what we could offer"?

Glad Farley's gone, too much of a show pony last season.[/quote]

Id Say we really wouldnt have had much Cap space left, Newley would be on a few $$$ if he stays

Two issues with the 36ers last year

1. They were SOFT Defensively,
Dench and Davidson will add some bite to Adelaide defensively.

2. Lack of Scoring,
Chappell is a "Gun", he does not rely on set plays to score, you just need to get the ball in his hands.
Newby, will be the next big thing in Aust Basketball, while Adam Ballinger is strong defensively but is also a free scorer and is a good fit for the 36ers

My view, the 36ers have finally got the mix right, good blend of youth and experience and defence and offence capability, they are top 4

not yet don't second round picks only get the first option by that team?????

[Dissident]

I didn't think he'd get picked either. Surprised.
Will probably play summer league over there, doubt he'll see a court for a while.

yep not g'teed a contract, but considering the Rockets traded to get that pick Id say they are pretty keen on him, perfect age and timing for him to make it IMO...and going to a genuine contender in the next few years

Paid cash I think... no trade.
(apart from money!)
