Kendle is better than those guys its that simple

Kendle is brutally over rated and now coming off the back of a serious injury.

i tend to agree with the original poster. May have paid to look in your own backyard to see what you have.

Yup, but the people making the decisions have no idea what is local cos they're not South Australian. There was a local import who did alright a few years back, what was his name......ummm.......oh yeah, Mark Davis.

Isn't JVG familiar with Kendle from a previous Sydney cameo?

Kendle probably willing to do for cheap also until replacement arrives.

Good guy to have around the team, def won't upset anyone that's for sure.

It's going to take realistically 3-4 weeks to get a replacement import this season, depending on if they started the search before "releasing" Sloan. I would guess that Kendle is just a known quantity giving a bit of depth while a replacement is brought in. PG is not exactly looking like their position of need either, I wouldn't be surprised if they looked at depth at the 3/4 spot.

There's a huge leap between NBL1 and NBL. Teys averaged how many points the last few years?
Also the players mentioned that are here aren't what the sixers need. Contradicting myself from the above statement, but if Oldham was here I think he might have been a chance to fill in.

Should have brought in a few of those that are SA and trained them so you could pick who you thought performed the best. Kendle is not very young and has had a lot injuries of late. They might have an nba club already wanting Giddey so it might be a good decision to play Giddey maximum to get good nba buy out.

Any of those mentions in OP would do it for the minimum. You know what Kendle will give and it won't change the 36ers chances at all. Give those minutes to Mudronja. Try Turnage or Mays they are young enough and you just never know whose game transfers.

Yeah cause Mays is going to play so much behind DJ and Hump. smh

Is it silly to think he could play Pinders role better than Pinder? It might only be 10-15 but at least it would be an upgrade in my opinion

If they drug test him before he plays

"Bugger I've just been notified on Hoops I should have signed someone in state first. Sorry Jeremy, I forgot there were players here I could sign, I totally didn't remember there was basketball played here and I should have researched the guys available here. All the best"

Kendle was just easy, not the best.

#834 whack. On the money.

We are talking basketball. Just putting in an SA person because they are in or from SA makes zero sense in professional sport if they are not up to it. Issac White will be available next season so you can chase him. But Mudronja is not NBL calibre. And professional coaches do not give a toss about your narrow minded SA focused mentality. They are only worried about wins and losses.

I know everyone thinks SEABL is amazing and the SA comp is no where near it but Mays averaged more in SEABL than in Adelaide.

He would be fine in the NBL

You don't want an import to be fine in NBL. My lord SA basketball people are stupid

Mt Gambier rolled in with Kentral Barkley from memory, straight from the G league into Adelaides PL.
Those aforementioned imports were just as good as him.
They maybe a little better than being given credit for here by the armchair critics.

Of course you don't want an import to be just fine but are we really expect Kendle will be more than fine?

I just think he’s redundant at his position and they have other guys of similar standard that could play those minutes. I think Pinder has been poor & they could upgrade him with any of the SA imports for different reasons.

6ers owner has his ball and chain and he will dictate who comes in...there is plenty of talent in SA. I agree Starling, Mays or Turnage would be great to see hit the court.

If you drug tested quite a few of these young ones, they wouldn't pass. 6ers on a losing game over the last few season are out in the streets partying hard...real hard.

Henry should attend some NBL1/Reserves games and he might see what he has in the palm of his hand. Get them out training - what hurt could it do? But as if Henry is reading these posts for advise LOL

No one in NBL1 Reserves should ever be looked at for NBL. What an absurd comment.

Turnage would avg 25 in NBL1 South easily. There is no one in 2nd tier comps in Aus that can guard him. He should get a chance. I think he is only 25 or 26 too.

Hahahaha

Turnage should play in NBL 1 South and earn some better money over the pittance paid by Norwood

Norwood pay more than almost any NBL1 South club.
