Great for the league. Not so much for my boy AJ Ogilvy...

source?

Rumblings of Wilbekin to Perth...

Thoughts?

What were Prather's stats average for the Mavs at Summer League?

Wilbekin is supposed to go back to Turkey..

Wilbekin only has an NBA out clause in his contract

Aussie, not sure on his averages but i do remember he had one big game with 20 or so.

Prather has only played one game for the Mavs in the Vegas SL and scored 23 maybe he's injured? He hasn't played for them since.

He did play 4 earlier SL games with them in total he's averaging 11.6ppg 4.2rpg 1.6spg shooting 47% fg, 40% 3pts.

@Zodiac Prather was on the Mavs' Orlando Summer League team, July 2-8 http://www.nba.com/summerleague/2016/players/sl_casey_prather/

Need a boss center and a point guard, then its Lob City..

Another guard is fine.. not just a point i spose. Just someone with offensive firepower at the guard position.

For chemistry sake, would like to keep Beal in the hopes of him being better with consistency.

But two new imports along with Prather would be exciting..

Prather has had his first season NBL adjustment, he comes back and takes off I reckon, possible league MVP candidate next season all going well!

Great News for us, just hope he's happy and not too disappointed with being unable to secure his NBA dream.
He's always struck me as somebody well suited to his role in the NBL, but who would struggle in bigger leagues.
Great to have him back, without the adjustment period he should be firing from the start.

Any gun centres hanging around the Summer-League?

Looks like he has re-signed. Good news for Wildcats

http://www.wildcats.com.au/featured-news/casey-prather-coming-back/

Cats could be looking at 7'2 Liam Mc Morrow as centre

They were looking at McMorrow at the same time they signed Dunigan.

It's possible he's still on their radar. 7'2 but now 28 years old or there abouts. Played with NO in this summer league. Wouldn't be a bad signing.

Ahh yeah he is playing with the Pelicans in summer league

Can we claim Canada as part of Oceania?

Not only was he our best player, he was a brilliant fit for the SF role in that squad and in the modern game.
Assuming we get another big centre, and Knight stays at PF, he will be again. Only without the learning curve.

Also not sure why you'd think he & Beal should be mutually exclusive?

How can anyone not be excited about this signing. He is an amazing talent.

If the cats do part with beal Vander Blue or Darius Adams would be a nice fit, played with Prather at summer league

Is it safe to say Redhage is done?

He actually isnt noted in any roster reports.

What happened to the Clarence Tysons, Ricky Jones and the David Van Dykes of the world.. oh yeah, Europe, China and D-League.

Redhage has verbally agreed, he will be officially signed once the cats have signed everyone else.

Prather is definitely NOT B-List.
Lets not forget that after a slow start, he won MVP in the champion team.

I do agree that the league has stepped up a notch for this coming season.
That's why the Cats are still searching, not content with Beal, they'll sign somebody better if they can.
And they'll be looking for a high class centre.
We have Wagstaff on the bench to back up Knight, so I'm still happy with that.
Brandt and an import Centre will give us plenty of front-court presence.
Hire will provide good role minutes off the bench. He's a good rebounder, a good defender, and can sometime get hot. He'll benefit from not being played out of position. Time will tell whether that's enough.

Yes, Redhage is not far off retirement, but his experience on the bench, as the 11th man, will be invaluable. The expanded roster has probably extended his career.

As RMQ said, the Cats will be waiting to see what they have left in the bag, before inking his contract.

I'm assuming that DKD is inline for the bench 2 spot, but again it looks like they're waiting to see who the starter will be.

Happy with Prather coming back. Not fazed if Beal comes back or not more interested in that import big they are chasing.

Redhage will be back but must be getting close to the end?

I assume DKD is all but announced.

Wildcats pre-season officially begins in two weeks. Our imports should be in town soon right?

"What happened to the Clarence Tysons, Ricky Jones and the David Van Dykes of the world.."

The first two were centres in their day because the league was so short back then but would be PFs today, while the third was so soft he would be eaten alive. I don't think you picked the best examples!

You can't really use 6'6'-6'8 Americans as your centre today unless they are pretty damn good because most centres are 6'10+ and can play.

Oh he could block shots alright!
