Heal: Kings need flashy, import PG
Shane Heal has come out saying that Robilliard's trio of Cooper, Bruce and Martin aren't cutting it in running the Kings team and a flashy, American point guard is needed.
FORMER Kings great Shane Heal says Sydney's season is doomed to fail unless they are able to recruit a flashy American point guard immediately.Here's the article
Heal's blunt assessment follows a warning from Kings co-owner Max Schroder that the under-performing players are on notice.
Even if the players lift Heal believes it won't resolve their underlying problem."They need an American. Someone who can score a bit, who can run the offence, distribute the ball. Give them some balance," Heal said yesterday ahead of the Kings' tough road double starting against the Tigers in Melbourne tomorrow night before they take on Perth on Sunday.
Tough to put the squad under pressure going into a difficult road trip where they'll hardly be favourites.
The insistence that the roster adjustment needs to involve an "American" irks me, but realistically an import is going to give them the best flexibility as Australian stocks aren't high. Problem is they already have three point guards.
What do you think they should do?
