You are welcome - I did a text search for Thornton on the main page and found nothing. So while it may be discussed in other threads, there isn't another thread on him.

Thorton or Thornton? Maybe your text search was misspelt

So anyways, how do people think this guy is going to go? Kings look pretty decent too me. This guy has to be a upgrade on last years point guard

Looks like a good signing. The James Ennis effect continues in the NBL. With some great imports coming in, I cant help but worry what bargain basement dropkick the 6ers will hitch their hopes on.

Probably one who'll help them to the playoffs, if the past two years are anything to go by.
Big signing from Sydney. Be interesting to see how the chemistry fits with Childress and Khazzouh.
Sydney are looking good so far!

Apparently the 36ers are looking at Kyle Fogg as their import according to some rumours on twitter

Sydney looks good on paper, I reckon if they can sign R carter and D corletto Kings will be the team to look for.

Corletto has signed in the UK. Carter would be a decent pick up, but he would kind of negate the need for Jason Cadee.

I certainly don't think they need BOTH of them... Carter is ok, I just, dunno...
Whoever they sign to back Childress up, HOPEFULLY *knocks on wood* won't need to play much, and with Jules and the Thornton signing, hopefully some of the scoring responsibility will be relieved from Chill's shoulders so we can get another role player that might just go out and attack the boards (something that was a huge negative when Chill was off the court last season) and/or a defensive stopper I think would be a big boost to our depth...

Cadee is inconsistent maybe more court time, with a good the outside game that can open the door for inside game.
