Wow. Very good shooter.

Remember watching him in the NCAA Tournament.

Special player.

Yeah, bloody good resume. NCAA Tournament regional MVP, SEC player of the year, SEC defensive first team. Known as a closer too.

Between the high Aussie dollar, NBA out-clauses and some great publicity from the Wildcats' efforts with Ennis our league seems to be in a great place right now.

Hoops Hype seems to be the website that breaks the news first.Well done GL>

Awesome college career it'll be interesting to see how he goes.
Also Cairns have got two guys fresh out of college this year.
Think it will be a dogfight for the four this year

Impressive signing for Cairns if he is the real deal I can realistically see them push for top 4.

Didn't Gliddon have a bee in his bonnet about staying with the Taipans to develop as a PG?

Now they have 4 PG's??

Great player will be very good in our league once he settles in.

Just got to keep him on the stright and narrow...had a bit of a party boy rep in college.

Gliddon should stick to shooting guard imo.

No way Gliddon plays Point Guard.

I'll think you'll find that all 4 of them will rotate between 1 and 2.

This is the one Cairns has been waiting for for years and years. Scrappy, hard, determined that kinda tough-guy swagger. If this guy is an indication of the whole team's character and attitude this season, Cairns fans have a lot to smile about.

They've been soft for far too long

Need to give this guy the keys. Everything about him epitomises what the Taipans franchise 'says' they are about.

I remember reading that Gliddon was only re-signing because Fearne promised him the starting PG role.

So is Wilbekin playing off the ball?

I think it was that he'll play more PG. Given most teams run a dual PG front I imagine that's how it will work.

No offence to Bruce, but 'pushed back to end of bench playing trash time?' is exactly his position description. Unless he can develop some swag.

Bruce's signing as a full-time player was a money saving technique.

He will probably get the same minutes as when he was DP, which is fair enough. Lucky to have a DP position in the first place IMHO.

And Gliddon at PG is just stupid. Is Gliddon gravitating to the PG position for future chances at Boomers (once Gibson moves on). Dare I say he will have the skill. Need SGs just as much as PGs in the Boomers.

That trend was happening in the NBL quite some time ago!

Interestingly, I think that trend is going to be less widespread in the NBL with tighter reffing. NZ, Perth, Melbourne and possibly Townsville look like they're going with only three small guards and will be using swingmen more in the two spot.

I think he'd be gravitating towards PG under pressure from his agent for international opportunities (boomers / Euro / etc). Good size for a PG but doesn't have good size for a 2, so on paper he already looks better, and hides his lack of shooting.

Same reason why Exum is being touted as a PG despite not having the skills to play the position.

NBL is BACK!

Shaun Bruce starts uni this year, Cairns Post today has him talking about life after basketball so I think he's being realistic about his chances of progressing beyond his fringe player position in a smaller team.

Wow I had no idea Wilbekin was that good.

I have been watching UConn games to see Daniels play and one game was The Gators Vs Huskies in the Final Four.

Wilbekin did not have a good game and looked out of sorts.

Of course I realise this was only one game.

Is Wilbekin under the marquee rule?

NBL just keeps getting better this year.

Marquee rule only applies above the salary cap, I dont think the Taipans will be close enough to hitting the cap to worry about it.

Marcus Camby - u got a link to that game??

RMQ I got it off torrents.
