Fotu an excellent pickup.
Le’afa probably didn’t deliver what the Phoenix wanted this past season with almost double the minutes from last season.
Gliddon is very streaky.
Rupert is not dissimilar to Dieng - long arms, athletic, likes to take guys off the dribble in isolations.
Saw a few of Rupert’s games when he played at Northwestern, he’s a good rebounder and will provide a bit of rim protection with his huge reach.
We need a slasher / someone that can create their own shot in one of those open spots.

In the local NBL I read that Kirk Penney will be an injury replacement for the Auckland Tuatara for the rest of the season.

@mariner4life 41.
There is an article here too, which explains the reasoning for signing Penney.

41, turning 42 later this year. Good luck KP!
He’s always been the consummate pro in taking care of his body ever since his Wisconsin days.
One of my favourite ballers ever.

Not NBL, but the Tall Blacks are in action in the Asian Cup.
Won our first game easy against India but in a tight one right now against Lebanon. Down 36-39 at HT.
It’s a very young side. Young Flynn Cameron is a starter.
-
No good. We lose by 14. Couldn’t contain their good guard Arakji. And we just turned the ball over way too much - 15 turnovers to 3. Plus our foul shooting sucked as well.
-
We are hanging around in this semi-final. Can’t hit shots though.

Is the game on in NZ?
-
On ESPN in Oz.
Tall Blacks read my post, they’ve gone on a great little run. We were down 14 when I posted and now only down 6
-
Jordie Hunt is playing huge for us. Need one of our guards to start firing.
-
Maker with a poster. Oz go on a run and it’s back to 10 point lead.
-
Far out we are looking like a rec league team in the last 2 minutes - turnovers and missing wide open shots.
-
We’ve started the 4th very well. Just over 7 minutes to go and we are only down 5. Passing is miles better and we are making shots.
-
Timmons is having a big quarter so far. Doing everything for us.
Although Oz killing us on the offensive boards.
-
Our half court offence has gotten far too stagnant. Flynn is dancing with the ball too much and putting pressure on other guys late in the shot clock.
75-69 OZ with 3:40 to go.
-
Perot-Hunt yeah baby. 4 point play.
-
Maker with a huge 3 and Oz back up by 5
-
Now McDowell-White hits a sweet one from the corner.
Oz up 81-73. 2:33 to go.
