Possible imports for next season.
Thought id start a thread on possible imports for the upcoming season, maybe give the SOS a few options from fans perspectives. I feel we need a PG and a SG/SF.
My suggestions.
Sean Lampley SF: Is only 30 years old and I thought a very good player for the Tigers a few years back. Can score inside and out and the type of personality Sixers fans would like. He has played NBA for Golden State in 04, and said last season he would like to go back to the Tigers who then signed Hodge instead.
David Noel SG/SF: heard this name mentioned as a possible import a few seasons ago. He is 26 and is a human dunking machine. He played NBA for Milwaukee and is currently playing in France. Reminds me a lot of Trimmingham, but at 6'6 is has more outside game. Scouting reports say he is not great at creating his own shot, I saw him play in college a few years back and he seemed he could still score easily. Would definitely become a crowd favourite in the Dome.
Luke Jackson SG/SF: Heard this name mentioned same time as David Noel’s. He is currently 28 and playing in Italy on a 1 year deal. Can shoot the lights out, and in college left Oregon as the only player in school history to place in the top ten in nine different statistical categories. Played for a number of NBA teams and has a career NBA high of 30 pts.
Nik Caner Medley SF: College teammate of Gilchrist at Maryland. Nik is 6’8 and 26 years old with an all around game and long arms. Was picked up by Detriot as a free agent in 2006 but suffered a stress fracture in his foot. Nik was one of only five Maryland players (Walt Williams, Johnny Rhodes, Laron Profit and Terence Morris) to score over 1500 points, grab 500+ rebounds, record more than 200 assists, 100 steals, 100 3s and 50 blocks during his career at Maryland. Currently playing in Madrid.
Feel free to mention others, these are just a couple I can think of. My preference is Lampley, thinking he will be the cheapest and easiest to get.
