NBL Rookie of the Year Isaac Humphries has signed with FMP Belgrade - the same club that helped launch Jonah Bolden's career.
Mitch McCarron heads to Slovenia, Isaac Humphries signs in Serbia
They'll be happy with his defence, he was dunked on a lot in the top 10 dunks.
I reckon Bryon Mullens would be a great centre for the Kings ?

Byron would be a poor fit. Athletic & mobile but too trigger happy with questionable shot selections. Good shotblocker but below par halfcourt D.
I think Manu suggested someone like Akil before & even with his bad FT, he is more the type the Kings need. Not rocket science really, they just need to add 2 import bigs & 1 local vet big who would be happy to play a role, bring energy & hustle on D & rebounding. You have ~6 months to look, more than enough time if you know what you're doing.

So not enough time, is what you're saying, Steve? :)

Bryon Mullens would be a textbook Kings signing. I can already see the email from the Kings hit my inbox with the subject "Sydney Kings sign NBA Veteran Bryon Mullens", with the entire body of the write up detailing his NBA career, in particular the double digit scoring average (leaving out the sub-.400 shooting) he had one season, and not mentioning where he's been playing lately. From what I remember of him in the NBA, he'd make Blanchfield blush with some of the horribly inefficient shots he threw up.

There's a reason BJ Mullens was playing Iran last season and the UAE the year before that.

LOL Wookiee, quite plausible that's what I was saying...
You'd think AngusH was being sarcastic, but with this mob... the likelihood is higher than what it should be. Although I did hear Gaze on the Splash podcast a few hours ago saying he's hoping they can get someone like Josh Boone for next season.
At least sounded like he has a basic idea of what they need, but whether that brief inkling can translate into reality without getting sidetracked by silly ideas of 'perfect shuffle offense', NBL GSW or some other rubbish thought bubble about 'exciting brand of basketball', who knows...
Curious question, how do people randomly select former NBA players and say they'd be good in nbl. How the hell do you pick Mullins? Why not Hilton Armstrong, Charlie Villenuava, Patrick Ewing Jr. Why pick that one player, there's plenty, why not just say a veteran centre with NBA experience that's either a banger inside or is a perimeter player. Again, just curious

Yeah that was straight out of the blue suggestion, its a bit odd & really why does it have to be ex-NBA talent? Plenty out there without that can do just as well or even better. Speaking of which, just read that Jameel McKay just got released by his Japanese club Shimane. There you go, someone without NBA talent that could've helped more than Tyler.
