Cam Tovey is the most overrated player of all-time - can't believe these "experts" label him a star

Shhhhhhhhhhh pure silk

CJ only played more than 15 mins twice,

In those 2 games he averaged 11.5 pts, 0.5 assists, 3 rebounds, that is pretty damm good for around 17 mins court time, im certain that if he had played around 15 mins a game, which i thought he should have from day 1, he would have averaged those numbers and had a few big ones along the way. His shooting % would improve as he would gain more confidence/rythm.

He is also 4th in the 36ers in the Effieicency ranking, meaning he is playing well when on.

How could anyone say he isnt atleast good enough to come off an NBL bench as a 6th-8th man? If he were an Aussie no one would dispute it at all, I'd take him over most back up sg in the league, and over atleast Goulding who starts.

Not saying he is good enough to be the next Rob Rose, but he is definatly good enough to play atleast 15 mins per game off a NBL bench.

If you want more out of an import, well spend more, dont sign a cheap import, and sign a stud. You cant have it both ways, you dont get Cedric Jackson level for 37k.

If there are other isssues/personality, which no one has indicated, or the wrong style of player then fine, but dont say he isnt talented enough to be in the league or hasnt stepped up after a strong pre season as Clark did, as a star import he probably isnt, but as a back up, the role he was in at the 36ers he is definatly good enough.

I hope he gets naturalised and given another shot sometime soon, im sure he will do well if given a decent opportunity.

What a beat up.
This forum was loud and constant about how useless CJ was and now you're trolling through box scores to try and manipulate how efficient he was over two games.
He may well be good enough to play 15 mins per game but its not here, OK?

"If you want more out of an import you should spend more..." Are you the only person in SA who doesn't know the financial plight the clubs in? This isn't your fantasy basketball league.

Maybe you should start your your paragraphs with "Once upon a time..."
Dang, Maybe we should've brought in Allen Iverson.

Exactly,

I know we didnt have finances to get a star, but then dont sack him saying he wasnt up to standard after playing him on average less than 10 mins per game.

He probably isnt normal star import NBL standard, but i remember them saying at the start dont think of him as an import just think of him as a 9th man, thats what i did and he met my expectations of that 9th man role, to say he isnt good enough to be a 9th man in the NBL is crazy, he definatly is, he is definatly good enough to be a back up sg, probably the best back up sg in the league, who is better? if you put import status aside it wouldnt be an issue, i get that hes an import, but dont say hes a 9th man, dont expect too much than sack him, saying he wasnt upto scratch.

Thats the issue.

Well thanks for posting it for a 3rd time Anon. I hadn't seen it!

Boom!
