Been reading a rumor that Derrick Walton Jnr is in discussions with the 36ers.
There could be something to this with him being mates with DJV from sydney days. And with DJV having a lot of pull with who we sign, it could be a real possibility.
Thoughts?

Certainly remember the name, but I don't recall how good or bad he was?

Spinner, in NBL23 for the kings he averaged 16pts, 4 rebs and 6 asts a game in 26 games. Had similar numbers across the playoffs and went on to be named Grand Final MVP and was on the All-NBL first team. He's also played 45 NBA games for the Heat, Pistons and Clippers.

Really can't fault this signing if it does happen.

A special mention should also go to his 45 point game against SEM which went to double OT. Went just over 50% from the field but knocked down 12/13 free throws.

As a Kings fan I'd happily take him back. He was frustratingly careless with the ball at times, but after a bit of a dip midseason he finished strong and was probably our best overall player down the stretch.

Be good if Sixers got him over the line.
If Sixers go 3 imports should go one proven experienced guy in the league who is high character and the other 2 new to the league as can get cheaper if scout well.
Need to get the right pf next to Humphries has been an issue the last few years - Wiley and Franks were good players just poor fits next to Humphries and DJ.

Walton would be the best import guard the 36ers have had in years if we got him, it would be an amazing signing

If they can the right pieces to compliment Humphries and DJV they have the potential to be a really good team

Gun but very top end of the payment bracket, plays D when it's need to win as well, came a across as a good team man as well looking from the outside.

Get him to Brisbane.
Then the Sixers can have 'son of an NBA player' point guard Shannon Scott. I promise he's really great guys, almost averaging a triple double in Taiwan.

A a breakers fan I don't want to see him back unless he's for us. Killed us in the finals series along with glover!!

Looks like the Sixers missed out on Walton, looks like Sem are starting to put together a good roster.

Just add him to the list. Sixers cannot land anyone bar Mayen who is an SA kid.

Shame the 36ers missed out on him, he'd help improve any team in this league

He would have played with DJV in one of the kings titles, probably gets down to money. SEM really opening the purse strings.

DJV is kidding himself thinking he's the key figure to putting together a quality roster like he commented. Reckons all signings are going through him. Even if true that's not the good thing he thinks it is! I'd put money on him throwing his toys and leaving reasonably soon. He still thinks he should be in the nba anyway

If Justin Simon or Cleveland end up at the 36ers then that's on part to DJV. He advocated for Humphries and Cleveland. Cleveland might be out of reach so he’s gone to his old teammate who plays exactly the same Justin Simon.
