Had to look Craig Winder up..

Has played the last three season in the NBA D-League with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, who are alinged with the Houston Rockets. The Vipers won the Championship last year, so at least he brings a winning mentality to the Sixers.
Last season was his best with averages of
22 mpg
.503 FG%
.371 3pt FG%
.780 FT%
3.6 rpg
2.2 apg
1.2 spg
2.0 topg
14.3 ppg

He improved these numbers in the playoffs to 16 ppg, 5.4 rpg

[Gozu]

I think he hit the game winning shot in the Grand Final too.

The 36ers have signed their second import former Razorbacks guard Troy DeVries.

The 36ers have signed Sam Harris (tallest player in NBL history at 7'3" some say 7'4") as a squad member. Squad members can't suit up to play unless replacing an injured/unavaliable player on the roster. Here is a clip of him throwing down a dunk at 36ers training:

The Breakers Kirk Penney has left the team after being granted a tryout with the San Antonio Spurs after his dominant performance at World Championships. If he fails to make the Spurs it's expected he will come back to the Breakers. The rumour is that the Breakers are looking to sign Mark Worthington as his replacement.
