what is there to be a fan of? his stats are abysmal and he doesnt get any court time.... why bother signing someone if they dont bring anything but "a positive attitude" to the changeroom.

if he was 10 years younger hed be 18 or 19 and he was pretty bad then, nothing has changed.

johns has been tried and tested at high levels and been left in the weeds.

if im not mistaken he was a development player for a while and never eventuated into anything.

there are plenty of players in the abl who have played professionally or have consistently put up good numbers but for some reason they are being overlooked.

"there are plenty of players in the abl who have played professionally or have consistently put up good numbers but for some reason they are being overlooked."

who are these plenty of players?

"It's plainly obvious that there are players out performing Teys in the abl right now all you need to do is open your eyes moron."

Like who? Please don't tell me Johns. The poster said there is plenty. It should be easy for them to list then

Signing him for 2 years seems completely unnecessary...

what is teys role? cheerleader?

U Adelaide supporters are a disgrace!!

Turn on your own at the blink of an eye.

Think Joey might see his upside which is more than his career averages.

Go Joey & Teysy!!

Ah yes, the good ole "there's plenty of better players in the {Insert Random Bush League Here}" argument.

People forget that the big killer in the NBL is lack of continuity and stability. It takes players and coaches playing together over a number of seasons to build a core, and you need to strike a balance between rolling in the new talent, and keeping your culture alive.
Adelaide have lost key players in recent years, and will already have new faces in addition to those with only a season under their belt.

So yes, you could probably replace Teys' output with a young kid, but unless that kid is a LOT better then you also need to factor in his experience and maturity.

Keeping it real. Brendon Teys is a pretty good PL player but a very average NBL player who's relationship with joey has seen him carve out a long career. "He plays defence and does a lot of important stuff off the court" WTF everyone at the NBL should play defence, as for the off court stuff that's credited to those who cant really contribute on court. Watched him play v mount gambier probably the 5th best guard on court Horrible offensive night ad four turnovers. Similar v Norwood and just revisit last years GF to note how well he does against decent quality PL players. Tough competitor at NBL level. Average handle, poor shot selection and shooter. But obviously very good in the locker room. Why another 2 years??????

Forget Teys. If I was a Sixer fan, I'd be more concerned about the club thinking it fine to sign White for two seasons.

teys and white are basically the same person

I like the Teys signing, White also but then I'm not an Adelaide supporter.

He comes on the court and does F# all.

At the same time, their point guard goes from 1 foul to 3 fouls because Teys draws 1 charge and then 1 hack because their PG is still pissed off about the charge.

Anyone needs a spell, Teys can come on, get the job done and keep the team doing the right thing. I think Teys with white against most teams 2nd back court are going to cause trouble with ball handling. Is they there to pick on the young kids? I hope so.

Occasionally when the whole team can't hit a hula hoop, Teys has put away a couple of baskets. He is a backdoor cutting shit stirrer. But hey 3.5 pts a game is some people focus, so be it.

that is such a super pitiful reason to sign him for 2 years...

LMAO at Joey saying Australian basketball fans want everyone to be Andrew Gaze or Brett Maher to justify signing Teys and White.

I understand people being underwhelmed and I agree with FM's post.

I think that when you have a player that has been around players that make the NBA then imparting your wisdom and being an on court coach works for Teys right now.

Thinking about him being selected for Australia when he was still playing for Townsville, he's had a really decent career and is if anything a tenacious bugger.

can someone explain why he was offered 2 years?

The risk of losing him to a rival next year? lol

Adelaide beat Perth, Sydney and Melbourne in a bidding war.

Harris does have a famous father. Played hard for the Tangas some time back.
Regular scorer from memory. Most noted for getting out of a trap then immediately engaging in the next play.
RAW.
