with the NBL Vegas Summer League happening this year most clubs will prob be shopping around on their Imports looking for that stud that'll be able to carry their team over the line. Some teams may not want to gamble on a rookie but I don't see Wilson in the same league as Ervin/Jackson/Ennis/Beale/Clark so don't rate his chances of staying in the league unless Cairns want to keep him on in much the same role as he had this season as a 6th man off the bench.

I'm not sure there will be many studs in the NBL Summer League, and it will be tough to get someone above the level of Wilson to compete in a tourny like that.

I am not sure about NBL Summer League itself but the NBL scouts WILL get a better look at NBA Summer League. With Marquee rule coming in etc etc.. I would like to think we could get better imports in the league then Jamar Wilson. No hate on the guy, hes a good player.. But I feel like we should be aiming for the league of players Mystro mentioned at least.. and certainly nothing lower. As a second import he might find a spot.. But I don't like the idea of he is going to be some teams GUN guy. We should be looking above that level for the Marquee or even better import on every team

I think we're underestimating the abundance of those kind of guys mentioned above. They are special players on any stage in the world. Mo' money don't mean mo' buckets

Overestimating*

That should be the quality of import we are chasing though and not just settling for someone because they are ok not terrible.

"I would like to think we could get better imports in the league then Jamar Wilson."

You are talking about a guy who was NCAA Mid-Major Team of the Decade, leading scorer in the VTB United League (third best in Europe) and runner-up MVP here.

Marquee money won't really get better guards than Wilson, the guards in the NBL are already world class, but it might enable more frontcourt players of a similar standard who command more.

I agree with anons comment and I am one of them.

36ers will probably bring back Ervin.

Wilson is a great basketball player,his handle on the ball is world class but his decision making at times is woeful.
Fact is he no longer fits the on court style of team that the Taipans are putting together/can afford
(i.e aging aussie/over achieving rookie)

Wilsons on court determination is one of his biggest strengths......it actually turned into his biggest weakness on this roster.

I think with Adelaide potentially being squeezed by the points cap, a 9pt import like Wilson who is happy to defer to others but act as a finisher down the stretch is a very good fit for them. He's also a good character off the court which might well be on the 36ers' shopping list by the sounds of it.

The minute Wilson started on the bench he was never coming back to Cairns. I'm sure he would do well at another team.

The Wilson/McCamey combo never worked and I think that had a great deal to do with Wilson's relatively poor season. No one seemed to know who the go-to guy was in Cairns, with their current guard signings Wilson wouldn't be a bad fit as it would be pretty clear that he would be the man again. But it's not like Fearne to swallow his pride.

Wilson should be a no no for the Sixers, this guy is ruuning away from the sun rather than to it. He is on the downward slope now and you could only expect he would not start to get better, but rather start to decline in ability and skill.

He had a baby last year, I think that'll play a major part in where he ends up. I heard his wife loving Cairns was one of the main reasons he stayed so long up here, but I think they both want to be closer to family.

Great guy though.
