Pelicans released him, interesting history if you bother too google. He is 6-6ish I was told, so pretty big SG by NBL standards.

No everyone thinks they are folding but the team us using Conklins money to stay competitive and hopefully continue to win games. They have a pretty nice run of home games to close the season and besides this round a lot of solo game rounds to leave it all on the court so to speak. You never do know, and until they are out, they will compete as though they are in!
yeah I guess you shouldn't listen to the general concensus on here most have no idea

This is the name i heard, not sure it's signed sealed and delivered but 100% the name I heard. Not sure if the anon who posted can clarify.
Should have told us earlier Kobe. No point mentioning it now.

I would believe Kobe24 on this one. If you'd prefer to wait for an official announcement, go read NBL.com.au instead of Hoops.

Cheers Isaac, I was told not to break it as it was not a guarantee, and low and behold I respect my sources more than a bunch of anon's. Anyways whoever started the thread is on to something is what I'm saying. Interestingly they have now disappeared.

LOL!
You should probably all know that Bryce Dejean Jones is a JOKE
I AM NOT SAYING THERE IS ANY CREDIBILITY TO THIS OPINION
Seriously why would he even come to this UNCOMPETITIVE LEAGUE
I heard it was his recently his birthday and when he saw the candles on his cake all he wanted to do was BLOWOUT all of them...LOL!
What if he is really good? The Crocs might win some games by a LARGE MARGIN which would be CRAP
I'm not going to reveal my sources for this post, my intentions are to give you a heads up on a signing. If you don't believe it that is totally up to you lol. Sit on your phone and watch nbl.com.au and wait til next week for the proof haha
Feel free to eat a big back of dicks if you are wrong Luuuc
I started the post kobe24, Crocs were chasing a big and looked at imports currently contracted to the SEABL but a team like the crocs would be crazy not to take the best Player currently on the market, which is exactly what they have done. The contract was signed earlier today.

OP/anon, Luuuc is just imitating some goon - don't take it seriously.

Well I appreciate the offer anyway.
Will be a nice treat compared to the snack size bags of dicks I usually limit myself to.
Guys a scoring points machine - so that makes sense for the crocs as they need scoring
Would play sf and perhaps some Sg in the Nbl splitting time with clint

Very good player. Questionable fit though.
Jett will be 6th man and Henry will have to cover 4 by the looks of it?
Norton/Maynard
DeJean Jones/Jett
Steindl/Djeric
Kay/Henry
Young/Schenscher

Hopefully not splitting too much time with Clint.
I like the sound of both at once.
Thanks kobe for the clarification. So you know how an anon has disappeared? Serious?
Big thin at the 4/5 spots unless schenscher gets healthy
I guess Harry froling gets some more burn also but at 6-6 jones could even play small lineup at Sf
Dennis subs like crazy so they will be a few minutes to go round
Crocs embracing small ball. Like it. Are crocs under new management this year? I like the boldness of the move to sack conk and move in this direction. Their offense is also very modern. Props to pat reidy(?) and co
Sounds good
I always thought they lacked a scoring, athletic swingman, so hopefully he can be that and also be an excitement machine to help draw the crowds.
Im keeen to see how he goes, sounds like the right type of player imo
I wish the 6ers went after guys like this
I spose Kay, Young will get plenty of mins at pf/c this season which im all for
Good to see some young talent getting some good court time
Seriously though, there is no confirmation whatsoever of this, so what are we getting pumped up about.

I'm getting pumped up because Kay and Young are getting court time, responsibility and being told to go out there and build on the respect they have earned around the league so far.
It's what Brandt was told to do with Sydney last year and whilst he was pretty good against Cairns tonight, he hasn't been good this season but the last time Khazzouh was in the NBL he had nobody backing him up.
What this does is give these players confidence to work on their game actually during the game and if Townsville do decide to go after a Markell Gladness for example again then we feel that due to what is happening right now that Townsville are deeper.
That's got me pumped... If we get to witness a stud import too then that is great but I hope Steindl doesn't go into his shell because his role changes, that boy is a star in the making and my favourite player to watch.

according to a player on the team this deal has fallen through at the last minute.
Crocs will continue looking
