Even if he isn't signed somewhere at the start of the season he will only be 1 injury away from a spot.

Hoping he finds a spot in the league from the beginning though, as Isaac said - good athlete to have in the league.

No mention of TF......

I asked Boti about Terrance Ferguson today. He just said "patience".

By that I can surmise that the deal is either done, or still being worked out. Either way it is not dead in the water.

Cheers ME!

TF is currently at the Steph Curry Select Camp sponsored by Under Armour.

Is it a coincidence the Taipans have just released Trigger?

Boti: " To date the 36ers only have formally signed one import "

TF skeptics should think about those choice of words a bit. Could be made to look silly here, but you wouldnt think Boti would use the word " formally" if he wasn't aware of atleast one other uncomfirmed signing.

I can't see us signing this Alexander guy when we'll already be signing a cheapy in Ferguson.

The 3rd import needs to be an absolute superstar for us to even be a playoff contender.

KET, I meant I might be the one to seem silly.

Well there was skepticism. I just tried to ease it.

And of course it's sensible and wise not to jump the gun. Never said it wasn't.

Why do people think ferguson will be cheap? Id imagine he would get 100k at minimum, and probably closer to 150+

Here's an interesting article....this kid is going to come into a very physical league and try to 'show out'. No doubtingbhIs obvious talent but will be a roller coaster start as a pro given the current state of the sixers finances as joeys penchant for throwing under performing imports on the scrap heap without hesitation!

Hope it works out for him though! Could be a revelation that keeps the blue chip Aussie talent in the NBL instead of heading to the USA as a pathway to the NBA.

Yes, I wouldn't think Ferguson to be cheap.

Timing of these announcements is all around NBL contracts running until 30 June.

"Why do people think ferguson will be cheap? Id imagine he would get 100k at minimum, and probably closer to 150+"

He's a high school kid it's not like he could command big money in Europe. I would think $100k should be the absolute maximum.

haha, the kid is going to put bums in seats. Provide exposure for both the NBL & Adelaide in USA markets with sports news and online writers following him regularly.
Opposing team fans will come check him out (similar to James Ennis).
Not to mention this isn't a scrub teenage prospect. This is a 5 star recruit that was being courted by most the top colleges in the USA and projected top 10 draft pick. The money is obviously very good to have contributed in convincing him to pass up the collegiate career/pathway.

This is a very worthwhile investment by Adelaide.

"The money is obviously very good to have contributed in convincing him to pass up the collegiate career/pathway."

More like he couldn't handle college and this becomes plan B. I cant see Lisch/Martin etc just handing this kid the keys. He'll get chewed up and spat out,watch this space.

"Brandon Jennings was a high school kid. This guy appears to be in at least that vicinity, from my reading of it."

Jennings was a lottery pick and was projected to possibly be a Top 5 pick I've only heard Ferguson talked about as a potential first round pick. That is a big difference.

Jennings struggled badly in Italy too. I wouldn't be tying too much up in a high school kid when he's not likely to be a star here.

Thunder Jam, those elite defenders can only cover one of Randle or Ferguson at once.

He looks cocky as hell in the videos so it's going to be entertaining no matter what happens.
