As a multi year deal could see him starting straight away. So 15ppg or more is possible.

A huge get for Sydney and the league.

Has a great bball resume coming thru the junior ranks and then really adapted well to the role he had at Miami.

I think you will see him do a lot more in the NBL then at college where he was purely a spot up shooter.

Athletic level is definitely higher at the Major D1 levels which didn't suit his game.

He may play a bit of PG which he has done well at the international level.

I look at a lot of the younger aussie talent that has done well in the NBL and Dejan has probably out performed them at the junior level so will now see how he translates his game going forward.

How about
Import/ Bruce
Vasilijevic/ Glover
Moller/ Newley
Cooks/ Kickert?
Mathiang or import/ Hunter.

Would they really want Casper back.
If Louzada returns then he start at SF backed up by Newley and Moller plays backup 4.
Kickert could play backup 4 and 5.
If Mathiang or another big name local doesn't sign use that spot on an import.

Moller would get time at both forward spots.

The rumours of Smith tightening the purse were way off....

It's weird, I was looking at this guys yesterday, almost bumped an old thread. Was going to ask "is this guy a chance for an NBL spot?"
Well I guess that answers that! LOL

Nice to see young turks coming home and getting contracts.
Honestly, my gut says predictions of him starting and getting 20ppg are probably off, but hopefully he adapts quickly.

Glovers deal is 'big'. Three years. Really hope he spurns them. It’s the 90’s all over again for the hawks.

Overtime "LIVE" just "broke the rumour" of Vasiljevic signing with the Kings!
Did they pre-record this yesterday?

It's not less.

How are the kings rebuilding? They could potentially bring back everyone other than Lisch - who they've covered for, and some.

First of all, he couldn't sign as it is not allowed. Second, the article says 'agreed in principle' which can go both ways.

I think the only reason he came back is due to uncertainty in Europe/NBA, so I don't think we will see him after first year if he signs formally.

First of all, he couldn't sign as it is not allowed.

Can't sign before July 15th, in case you didn't know.

Untrue.

You wanna bet?

The free agency date applies to players with other NBL teams, not to all players everywhere. SEM signed Creek during the 2018/19 season, for example.

KR, obviously we are not on the same page - I'm not talking about the rule book, I'm talking about the discussions and what has been agreed in principle. My 'sources' tell me that this info was leaked from the NBL office since the Kings sent a draft of the contract for clearance a few days ago. There are still a few things to iron out but it has not been fully agreed or signed. If all agreed it will be signed on or after the 15th, that's what I was told. Take it or leave it :) Too bad you didn't want to take the bet.

If it's an incomplete draft that hasn't been signed, why is it going to the NBL at all?

Ppl talking about Glover like he's the next Moller... :P

"If they agree to it tomorrow, why would they wait until the 15th to sign? That makes no sense."

Obviously you haven't done much of negotiations - you can agree anything in principle but only when you sign it, it becomes binding (some would say verbal agreement is as good). For whatever reason my understanding is this will not be signed before, and they are still in negotiations. Also the contract needs to be cleared by the league too. Hypothetically MU decides to come to the board and offers DJ more money today, he can accept that deal without any ramifications.

"If the rumours are correct I think Vasiljevic & Glover are good signings for the Kings Vasiljevic will probably play 2 / 1 & Glover anywhere from 1 / 3 but prominently 2
If Didi doesn't come back I think Glover will start ahead of Vasiljevic in the 2 as he is more athletic & a better defender"


For Weaver's style of play, Vasiljevic is a better fit+better shooter and will start. It also depends on imports. Will wait to see about defensive ability, but someone who spent 4 years chasing extreme athletes in ACC will definitely be up to the challenge in NBL.

Alpha = Full of Shit

I hate having to agree with KR ....

Glover has a great playing future ahead of him but wouldn't start him over Vasilijevic.
Down the track Vasilijevic will likely go to Europe and Glover will be a starter maybe.

"That isn't what you're saying though. You've gone from saying he isn't allowed to sign until the 15th, to even if they agree to terms they will just sign on the 15th for the hell of it. Now you're saying negotiations are still ongoing, which sounds like its the most likely case, but you had a few bites at the cherry to get to that point."

Well, the topic states that he signed, doesn't it, but he didn't. I'll have to go back to correspondence with my "source" to clarify why and who told him to hold on till the 15th. Whether he was dragging his feet waiting for United to come knocking is everyone's guess :) but certainly has nothing to do with the free agency.

The other anon, in the up-tempo game the preference is on transition 3s not taking it to the rack, ask Weaver what his preference is. Vasiljevic was I believe second in NCAA in this category two years in a row (attempts/makes). You want points, you must have a shooter/spacer on the floor, the more the better. With Glover they need to protect the lane, with Vasiljevic they won't know what to protect.

"Glover has already played against men, DJ hasn't proved that yet, college is a lot different to professional basketball."

Won't comment on men vs boys, a futile argument - just for the sake of argument, which of these two played against lottery picks every year? Every lottery pick that came out of ACC is by far better than any man in NBL (bar imports). How many they were in the past 4 years? Didn't Glover play behind Melo last year and Melo was 18!? There is another topic debating whether NBL1 teams would beat college teams - most likely all mid majors, not sure about high majors, some great talent at that level.

Personally I think Vasiljevic was underutilized in college, he is extremely good ball handler, a passer and a rebounder but was in a wrong system. It is my understanding that Sydney has gone in lengths to get him, which means they made some concessions and have a plan. If they want to retain him, they will make sure that the plan works.

Btw, I get paid to be full of shit :)
