Joey: No import changes for 36ers this season

An interesting bit down the bottom of the article about Joey calling for Kickert's suspension:

Fellow import Terrance Ferguson was even worse, playing 20 scoreless minutes and failing to even register a shot attempt - but he is in no danger of being replaced.

Wright said a lack of funding and corporate backing were hampering the bottom-ranked 36ers which won't be making any import changes, even if they wanted to.

"We don't have the finances to do that. It's not even an option for us," he said.

"That's something we have to accept.

"We're sticking to the guys we've got who have to step up and get the job done."

Kickert will be fine.
Both players instigated the contact IMO.

Joey should worry about his own troops and their body language.

The fact he wasn't even able to completely rule out the idea even if the money was available must make the current imports feel real great. so sad to see a once proud club run by incompetence down to the coach. They aren't broke they have just spent the money the wrong way. And yes there is a difference.

Coach Wright,

At the beginning of the pre-season you noted that defence was something the Sixers needed to improve, and that you were going to recruit accordingly.

Can you show us where the improvement in defence is and how your recruitment has made inroads to being the worst defensive team last season?

Calm down people, any of us, if we were coaching would also mention Kickert's indiscretion.
Joey will be fine, he'll get it together.

Calm down? Thanks for the calming words bud, but no he won't. They are a laughing stock within the league. Joey has no impact on that team whatsoever.

No money no imports, case closed. They are too young. Being a very young team will not get it done in the nbl.

Not much he is a hustle guy that is developing but not a game changer.

I've been disappointed with Ferg. His movement when the ball is out of his hands is poor so far. He needs to be more aggresive and push hard to get in good spots to create opportunity. He seems hesitant to drive into the lane. He would be used to playing against guys in his own weight division. Taking a bump from someone that is 60-65kg is different to someone that is 95-100kg. He needs to overcome this fear because his draft stocks would be under constant review.
Jacobson has been ok. He can bang the boards and is ok in the post.
Randle was rattled against Brisbane. He has taken too much on and needs help from others around him.
Hopeful the last game against the Bullets was just a bad game. We all have bad moments but there is no excuse for no effort.

I still don't know what it is he is meant to bring to the table? Odd choice, save the gambling for Vegas next time Joey.
