A massive mistake.

Haaaaaaaaaaaa. Finally we get the league's favourite spud back!

well... it would be better to have one less player then that

On my life I thought the SoJ claims were a joke.

At least I can finish off my DreamTeam with that spare $5 I have left.

For mine Joyce has been a victim of his genetics. In his last season when he took more than 5 FGA he averaged 10ppg at 44% He also once got off for 22 against the 36ers.

Averaged 8.7ppg and shot 37% from 3 in his last year with the Blaze. Shot 40% from the field

Herbert last year = 4.4ppg, 39 % field, 29 % from 3

D.Ng last year= 6.1ppg, 40 % field, 37 % from 3.


Joyce was never as bad as anyone made him out to be. He was only 22 years old when those stats were taken at the Blaze. Those stats are better than the Cedar brothers who are 26 and 24 now.

BFJ, the 22 was against Bruce. That was a dark day in Sixers history.

I was wondering why his father was being so biased towards the kings during commentating recently.

Unfortunately Stats don't tell you everything MACDUB - he was a talented kid who if allowed to develop naturally he could have become a good PG
his Dad however ruined all that by firstly selecting a squad that was designed to force Dan into heavy minutes and then blindly playing him when it was anvils to all and sundry that there were better options.

It's a shame as he is actually a really nice kid who worked hard, hopefully he can earn any mi utes he gets for the Kings and get some success off his own hard work rather tha preferential treatment from him father

How about we all wait and see what happens before we judge.
Children dont get to pick relatives.

Welcome back SoJ, good luck.

Hopefully it's just for this next round or two, as like Hurls said, it would have been 9 players... He's been training with them, knows the system, so for a couple of games shouldn't hurt TOO much, but if it's a long term solution, they're again getting a guard to fill a 3-spot let alone blindly ignoring the desperate help we need in the front court, and I will lose my frigging nut...

The entire Kings organisation is an absolute rabble. Crowds are way down, no one really cares in Sydney about the team other than the absolute diehards, and then you get this ridiculous decision about Joyce. Pathetic.

If the Kings go 0-2 on this trip i don't think you will have to worry about Joyce for too long, as well as a few others..

Can't see what need this fills. Already have Bruce and Madgen.

Isaac - I would suggest he is coming at next to nothing, already knows the system and can just play spot minutes.

I tweeted at Heal and he said that Madgen, White & Bruce will be playing most of the minutes that Harvey took up.

I would imagine a few lineups of Henry, Bruce, Madgen, Lazare & Garlepp/Crosswhite.

good luck to the guy.....i hope he kicks butt!

If Bruce was a strong enough point guard, I think they'd be starting him and probably not in need of a PG import as they have been so keen on since last year. Henry has shown enough to keep his spot in this sort of team.

Can see the benefits of SoJ (cheap, knows system) but it's like they're allergic to small forwards. Realistically, SoJ and White as inclusions seem like strong votes against guys like Iti, Gynes, etc.

I wonder if they sounded out Bose? Not sure how much you'd get in Kazakhstan?

Lots of people talking up Gynes for a while including Boti. Stats in Seabl horrible for a teams main guy
11.9 ppg (same as SOJ) 5 and 1.2 apg at 30.7% from the field. There are very few small forwards outside of the NBL who should be on a roster. Gynes good hustle guy not much more.
Nathan Herbert best available player.

Nathan Herbert best available player.

We tried to lure Toly Bose and Daniel dillon back from Europe over the weekend. They r both happy where they are. We move on.. Ready for fri

Who is the new college returned player with the Kings now

I have tried to think and think and offer up reasons as to why, but no matter what, I can't understand the deal with Martin Iti..

Why doesn't anyone want him? Kid isn't a scrub, did okay at NMSU.

Has he not been training since his college days..7 footers with his type of athleticism don't grow on trees.

Admire SOJ for surviving his days at Blaze.
Not everyone could keep playing under the intense, anonymous and sometime outright crucifying criticism. Let's hope it's pay back time for Daniel.
Good luck.Bit of a pity that Gleeson has moved on. The Joyce family could still do with some good news and luck after recent events.
Also, anyone notice that Joey picks up Brendan's old jobs? Firstly as the Blaze coach and now his job at Basketball Queensland after BJ moved to Basketball Vic Country.

I have tried to think and think and offer up reasons as to why, but no matter what, I can't understand the deal with Martin Iti..

SoJ = "Son of Joyce". It's a convention which has spanned multiple sites and for a number of years. Can't even remember where it started; maybe OzHoops?
