After that you could throw a blanket over 10 guys imo.

Bryce Cotton holds some serious weight because the NBL standard is the best it’s ever been at present and it’s getting better each year.

Kendric Davis has rejected the 36ers offer:

The Adelaide 36ers' strong desire to re-sign star import, Kendric Davis, appears to have fallen through, according to ESPN reporter Olgun Uluc.

"They (Adelaide) put a pretty substantial offer in front of Kendric Davis," Uluc revealed on The Marketplace.

"I’m told that Kendric Davis rejected that offer ... at least for now."

Davis was arguably the best recruit in the league last season, finishing runner-up in the MVP voting and putting together one of the best statistical seasons of the 40-minute era.

"Now the 36ers haven’t lost complete hope that they might bring Kendric Davis back, but they have begun to gauge the import point guard market elsewhere," Uluc added.

Isn't that the Sixers way, though?

Spend a heap, don't think about team chemistry. Bomb out, rinse and repeat.

Harrell indicating he wants to return to the NBL, hearing he caused a bit of trouble off court and many are gun shy.

He's currently struggling in China. He did say upon leaving that he would like to be back in the NBL next season but at a different team. It was heavily rumoured that LK was paying a large chunk of his salary last season and Jack White has just opted out of his contract at Melbourne United to pursue overseas opportunities...

It will be interesting to see if he does get picked up. I know he loved his off court time in Australia

I’d be signing him up again.
Record crowds all last season were because of him and KD
And he can seriously play
