36ers new/old signings

[sog35]

For those with an eye on the NBL still Adelaide is set to sign Willie Farley, Paul Rees and Brad Williams to flesh out the roster after Cattalini's departure.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

How old would Paul Rees be these days?

 

[Portmanteau]

35.

Yes, everyone's favourite NBL franchise is heading back to the top next year... get on.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

When will be see the signing of Larry Sengstock and Ray Borner announced?

I believe the paperwork to have the $2,000 MLE split between either player is currently being processed...

Rees > Sengstock + Borner.

When the big man puts the high tops away expect the Rees Medal for best cheap shot in finals.

Willie Farley back in the NBL. I want Mosley.

Or Fred Cofield.

Ray Owes! Ray Owes!

I'm biased, but that man was the best import this league has ever seen.

If he was 3 inches taller, he'd have had a 10-year NBA career.

Damn straight he was, although Darnell Mee at his best with Adelaide took some beating.

Looks like it will be an exciting NBL season over here. With Farley, you can nearly guarantee it!

Stevie Woodberry was a gun, though, as was Isaac Burton.

Does that mean the 36ers have a backcourt of Thomas/Farley?...or has Thomas been sacked at long last?

The signing of Rees sort of makes sense...the 36ers need all the big men they can get.

Oh, and the best import is/was Derek Rucker.

I think Thomas' contract ran out, and isn't being renewed. The backcourt of farley and Maher will hopefully be as lethal as it was when Farley first played.

Oh, and the best import is/was Derek Rucker.

I put him in the same category as guys like Ricky Grace, D-Mac, Lanard, Mark Davis, James Crawford, Leroy Loggins and Rob Rose: played so long here I consider then Aussies and not imports - although I think Grace, Copeland and McDonald are all citizens.

Ricky Grace IS the best import the League has ever seen

Mark Davis, Al Green, James Crawford, Rob Rose, Darryl McDonald and Cal Bruton could all argue this point.

Could? Al would!

Thomas was not resigned. Farley suits our system a hell of a lot better and it sounds like he can't wait to get back.

Certainly were the dark days. With him and Rick Brunson running the show.

Neither were as good as JoJo English though.

I don't blame him, with the adulation he used to get from the Adelaide crowd.

Maher/Ng
Farley
Holmes/Nash
Rychart/Williams
Rees/Forman

If we don't go close to the championship with that line-up, I'll be very surprised.

Which always baffled me as English played for the Bulls and Brunson is now in the NBA.

And had as many turnovers as assists.

At least Rick Brunson was capable of a 2:1 Assist To Turnover Ratio

It certainly is better balanced, with a more consistent inside/outside game.

Farley and Maher will have to play a lot of minutes though.

That team will struggle for boards. After Nash, will any of those guys average six per game?
