The kid has already won three gold medals playing for the USA in junior comps. Talks that this might end up, all going well, a permanent development thing. Reckon Randles brother might end up here at some stage.

Can't ask for 2 better recruits than Newley and Maric. Really not liking how this season is shaping up.

“Obviously (coach) Joey (Wright) has had to make that call but with three imports, Anthony Drmic and Majok Deng, we couldn’t fit Lucas in,” 36ers chief executive officer Guy Hedderwick said.
“We really loved having him as part of the 36ers family and are sorry to lose him.”
To date. the 36ers only formally have signed one import, 2015-16 pocket dynamo Jerome Randle.
Daniel Johnson, Mitch Creek, Brendan Teys, Nathan Sobey, Matt Hodgson and Adam Doyle all have deals for 2016-17.
That only leaves two spots in the expanded 11-man roster and those will go to the two imports alongside Randle.

He is supposedly projected to be a first-round pick in next years NBA draft but I can't see him having a big impact coming straight out of high school. Stephen Jackson came out here and played for the Kings right out of high school and struggled got cut but then went on to become a borderline NBA all-star.
I just have concerns about the physicality and maturity to play at this level but at the same time he's not going to want to act up because it will effect where he gets drafted next year. At least he's not going to be relied upon to carry us like a traditional import might we've got Randle & DJ to do the heavy lifting so this import SF spot was probably always going to be taking a flyer on a project but I do hope if we sign this kid we sign a veteran big bodied PF with the other import spot.
