How good is Kersten anyway?

How wpould he compare to the likes of Newley, Ingles, Ng and Sutton?

Jury appears to be out at this stage. Some rate him highly, some aren't convinced - will be interesting to see how he does.

If he goes to the breakers are they still going to sign a import PG or are they gonna have Kirsten and Henare split the minutes. If Kirsten is as good as some say they may get away without having the import PG, but i guess we will have to see how he performs, as isaac said the jury is still out on him. Pity the 36ers missed out on him but i guess they have chosen to sign Davidson and Sutton, along with Maher in the PG position instead, i hope the 36ers made the right choice!

So lets all rush out an d sign Kersten dont think he is such a big deal if he was so good and college just finished why out of shape so badly.Second point if we have Maher,Davidson and Sutton as POINT MEN then he isnt getting any time ahead of them cos he isnt better than them saw him play at college and he struggled there.So are you suggesting 36ers sign him because he went to college big deal.Good work 36ers wait and see if he can play before he is given a spot

Great kid who has been lighting up the court in the US.
Perhaps we may see how good he is on FOXTEL , as another SA Junior heads out of SA to show what he can do.
Gee , when will it all stop and the 36ers start to get homegrown talent for us to cheer at the ABC Learning Centre !!!

Annon, he hasn't been lighting up the courts over there, I think I posted in other thread his stats of 5ppg and 2apg or something. He was only a decent role player judging by that.

Even though I would've liked the Sixers to wait and see him in a couple of games before making a decision on who they were going to sign at the back-up point, I don't blame them for not just signing him as soon as it became apparent that he wanted to play in the NBL.

How can you say that? he showed the poise, quickness and skill that an elite level point guard needs. He will be one we regret not signing.

Gee Annonymous you seem to blame Phil for everything guess its his fault Kersten got benched at college his fault also he isnt going back to college lets wait and see i heard they offered him a try out spot in the team so what more could they do. Give him a contract becausr he got average stats came back out of shape at the end of the college season oh yea that would be Phils fault.Eric Burton did and still does have better game than Kersten just go watch a practice session its obvious or ask the guys that practice and play with them none pick Kersten ahead of Eric but Phil probably tells them all to say that and at practice tells Kersten to let him look the better player get real he aint going to do anything special in the N.B.L cant even do it here in local league and didnt do it at college aint going to happen.

sutton showed poise and control beyond his years for the 36ers last year, give the kid a break, definetly a positive move keeping him in a sixers uniform

Jammer,

Kersten has just came back from the US. Playing in the US is gonna be a great deal quicker and higher standard than playing here. People bag his stats in college, yet some say college standard is simular to NBA. Each kid in college is playing for their lives. In the NBA all the players have already made it and get big bucks to boot. Think before you write such silly comments. I've played with both Ryan, Darren Ng, Marcus Ng and Erik before and they all are extremely talented. Playing guard next to Ryan was such a breeze. Cos he must be crap to get picked from the AIS to play college....

Should have:
At the point - Mahersy
Backup to him - R.Kersten

Off guard - Import
Backup - M. Sutton
