Have the Crocs re-signed Holmes?

can anyone confirm if the crocs have resigned Jacob Holmes?
Would be very happy if they have, his strength under the basket and his rebounding would be a huge advantage for the team.

No.

Only Norton, Blanchfield and Hinder are currently signed.

Also, I did notice it was weird that Michael Cedar was doing community appearances for the Crocs despite not being under contract.

The problem with Holmes is that he is a terribly inefficient offensive player so you sacrifice lots of easy baskets while he is on the floor, despite obviously being a great, great rebounder. He can't score at the rim in any capacity, which is a bit of a question mark to have hanging over a power forward who wants starters' money.

Mick it has been interesting to see how you have changed your mind about Holmes from two seasons ago:

"Holmes is a competent offensive player and a great rebounder:"

"Seriously though, thank you Adelaide so much for Jacob Holmes."

You don't seem so thankful anymore :)

Absolutely. He was taking dumb shots back then too, you just get a bit blind as a fan when the dumb shots are dropping. It's just so frustrating that a guy who is so good at effort plays, scrapping for the ball and positioning for rebounds on defense would be so bad at getting easy buckets (ie. the ones you get from effort, scrapping and good positioning) on offense.

He is great as long as he is playing alongside older, veteran guys, and as long as there is plenty of inside scoring elsewhere on the roster. He's not the sort of guy that is going to really add value to a struggling team though, which came out last season.

The Crocs roster from last season was a bit short in the leadership department, and the inside scoring department, which just emphasised Holmes' deficiencies. I honestly hope he returns (at the right price) and we put a roster together that can complement his talents.

Roll Player, not Starter.
