[quote]The Melbourne Tigers have completed their 2010/11 NBL roster with the official signing of American import TJ Campbell. Campbell, who last year graduated from US college University of Portland, is a pure point guard.
Standing at 5' 9" Campbell may be the smallest player on a huge[/quote]

"We did our homework with this position as we feel it is very crucial to our success this season."
So the position (PG) was not that crucial before ! What an .diot.

PG requires no homework, it IS crucial in every team, every season. Someone saying "this season" puts him in the idiot category for sure.

Atleast we know who'll be sent home first this season. Patty mills is about as small as a point guard should be. He'll be exposed defensively!
he'l tear the NBL apart!!!.... you got no idea how good these short U.S PGs actually are..

We shall see. Hopefully for Tigers fans he is the real deal, or else thinhs could get ugly with those big blokes not getting much of the ball near the hoop.
defensively he'll be fine because he's quite strong for his size. athletic freak who should be able to push the break along with devendorf and stretch the floor in the half court setting to open up the isolations for tragardh who is unguardable down in the low block. as for his height, i don't see why people care about height so much? nate robinson is 5'9, earl boykins is 5'6. Ben Wallace was considered tiny for the centre position at just 206cm and look at him. Height don't matter. Great pickup for the tigers, one of the best backcourts in the league at the moment.
