Blaze to sign Adris Deleon

AKA 2Hard2Guard, streetballer.

There are a few congratulatory tweets directed at him, e.g.

Chilling with the homie @2hard2guard10 before he leaves tmrw to Australia. Nice deal. #Sheesh
I think that leaves the Hawks as the only ones left looking.

why are the Blaze always looking for an import point. They have a boomers point guard and a boomer point guard in waiting on their roster.

Agreed ^

But there weren't too many holes to plug up anyway.

Hudson, Wortho, Harvey, Goulding, Gibbo.

i guess you might wanna get a 3 man import?

3-man for mine. But they need a creator so maybe this guy is ok. Hawks now just need to sign Williams before the Blaze-Hawks tv game next week!

So they have Deleon, Gibson and Cadee among their PG ranks.

Why do they even need Cadee?

I thought they should have gone out and got an import 3 man.

They are loaded at PG with Gibson and Cadee, have great SG's in Goulding and Harvey (who should return very soon, possibly this week), have depth at the 4 spot with Worthington, Hoare and Petrie and have Hudson at the 5 spot(and Petrie can also be used here).

Gibson/Cadee
Goulding/Harvey
Import/Harvey or Wortho
Worthington/Hoare
Hudson/Petrie

That is one hell of a lineup. Put Goulding ahead of Harvey simply because Harvey is coming back from injury.

Now it's going to be

Gibson/Cadee
import/Goulding
Harvey/Hoare
Worthington/Garlepp
Hudson/Petrie

If Harvey hits shots that can be a good team.

honestly i don't think Cadee is ready yet. he still needs more season under his belt. let's be honest, he's a talented ball player but he's not like an Ingles type that comes in and just clicks.

by getting Adris that means he can put Gibbo at the 2? Harvey/Goulding at 3, Wortho, Hudson. Or Adris, Gibbo, Wortho, Hoare, Hudson.

some pretty good variations right there. think it's a good signing

Strange choice. Thought that another 3 man was what they would go after. I would read a few things into this selection. Joey has decided that Wortho will play some reasonable time in the 3 spot and he needs to heavily reduce the minutes of one or both of Cadee and Bubbles.

Wonder if Goulding is beyond coming off the bench? Harvey could play the three?

the guy can flat out shoot/score though ... I just wonder how he will go with some real defense on him
I suspect cadee is still affected by the hip injury

I think you guys are over-rating Goulding!

Possibly right that some are overating Goulding, he has shown glimpses of what he can do but at times has failed to back it up with consistancy.
I still believe we will see him explode this season with some very big games and sure up his 'off' nights by putting up solid numbers. Last week for example he had a poor game but still scored at 57% which showed he didnt get frustrated and force the offence. Hopefully Im right and he can prove his critics wrong.

With the new import coming into the squad I think we will see Joey look to up the tempo and post some big scores. Gibbo and Deleon to share the guard duties with Goulding/Harvey at 3 and Wortho/Hudson/Peach taking up the 4/5 minutes should see some really fast paced play.

This style of play should really suit the team we have as they are not renowned for lock down defense so with a green light to score the ball it should be fun to watch (or a train wreck!)

if petrie can get healthy and find the form he had last year i think it's a good choice for the import
and creates good matchup problems for the big teams as they will be quick and gives them the ability to break the press of teams like perth - good move joey ..

A lot of teams do well in the NBL (and in other comps too lately ie Dallas) with two ball handlers in the backcourt. This guy is a scorer and Gibson can guard a lot of SGs so it could work, but I would have gone for a 6'5-6'6 2-3 myself.
