I've been saying this since the pre-season.
Kings needs 2 more imports, the likes of Prather and Wesley.
Jeff Wrong Again thinks the Kings can win with 1 import - in Randle.

Kings don't need an import, they need Mitch Creek

Yeah Mitch Creek isn't coming back to the NBL anytime soon... they'd have more chance getting him next year to replace Newley. Wear is only part of the problem, he isn't being used properly, anyone can see this team has no structure and Gaze has no idea how to utilize any of his players. They're just a bunch of stars with big egos who don't work well together.
Thanks again EYW for another meaningless post. BTW Realise has an s in it a Zee.

Yeah wear just is not a good basketball player. He needs to go, he is as described a poor mans kickert, starting before kickert....

Agreed, maybe a high flying 4 with a nose for the ball and a bit of mongrel
Bowen should be getting all of wear's minutes so he plays near 30 a game

JVG was so sure he thought Wear was going to be a star that he signed him to a 2 year deal, second year a team option.
I'm predicting Wear will be one of the best on court tomorrow. Terrico White had a thread preseason and has bounced back since, Deleon had one last week and lit it up last night.
Wear to have 15 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists tomorrow lol

Zodiac, regardless of how bad Wear is, that's not a dumb decision.
If he works out to be good then great you exercise your team option on him. If not see you later.
At least would have Locked him into the club for year 2 and prevent him going to another club if he turned out to be good.
JVG and Kings have made some bad decisions but no point referring to decisions which have in fact been sensible.

And if you're critical of the Kings for taking him on in the first place, then you may have more grounds of argument.
But hindsight is a wonderful thing and on his resume it wasn't a bad signing.
Can't pin that on Sydney for mine. Pin it on Wear.

Yeah but wear is white ha ha
Macdub, Wear sucks. He always sucked. If Sydney didn't know that, I think you can pin it on them. His resume is average so why pluck him out of all the available imports? If they weren't capable of watching him and evaluating him correctly, yes they're to blame.
Fair call that a team option for year 2 isn't a bad decision though.

Someone please tell me Wear is not an import? I thought he was some seabl hot shot that is clearly out of his depth from his two games.
I think Wear will come good once the team has time to gel. No need to freak out 2 weeks in.
Like I said. People are too impatient and too quick to panic.

Not really Wear has played a good 10-12 games with the Kings now, I've seen all bar one I think and this was by far his best game.
His defence still sucked. Wesley took him to school. Let's not get carried away.
