This pissant league will be nothing to him

He may well be in MVP contention. We will see.

Your comment shows you know nothing about the NBL though and trolling is for people with no lives

Shouldn't the MVP go to a player in an undefeated team?

Not necessarily. Rob Rose won it in 1993 :-)

Uhh it's still a pissant league when your soft cap is $1.1mil Australian and 350K is considered highly paid. The talent pool here is so shallow.

Most Euroleagues have a much greater pool of talent and can obviously afford players that are either ex-NBA or fringe NBA.

Those players that are fringe Euroleague end up here... next stars see this league as a place they can be noticed and get away from the clutter of European leagues.

Sloan was a decent backup in the NBA, age doesn't take away skill or basketball IQ and Sloan never relied on athleticism in the NBA.

Big-bodied guard who can score and facilitate, any clown who visits this page knows if he wants to he could average 20+ points a night. He obviously won't face anywhere near the calibre of defenders he had guard him in the NBA.

Lol

Haters are going to hate. Watch Euroleague then. It's on NBL.tv

Other guys on NBL teams who have played in the NBA before include: Bryce Cotton, Miles Plumlee, Isaac Humphries, Nathan Jawai, Scott Machado, Casper Ware, Deng Adel, David Andersen, Scotty Hopson, Mitch Creek and Lamar Patterson. Andrew Bogut only just retired too.

I dont think anyone is arguing that Euroleague isnt better than the NBL.

But the NBL is clearly a highly talented league, rated in the top 10 domestic leagues by most experts.

Look at how guys like Ennis, Wilbekin, Ingles, Tate have gone in the NBA and Euroleague after playing in the NBL, which indicates that NBL players averaging around 15-20 PPG are around as good/better than some players playing in the NBA or Euroleague, but may just not be as big, as athletic or have the specific skill sets that NBA/Euroleague clubs are looking for.

Guys like Cotton, Sloan, Moore, J Martin, Machado, Landale, have all had stints in the NBA and/or Euroleague and some of them may be able to get back their after a strong NBL season. So the NBL does have some world class talents.

So yes Euroleague and NBA are better, but the NBL is no joke league either

Those names. Do you think they'd be playing here if they got an offer elsewhere. No. China's B-League can pay triple what we pay.

They play here because the game style is closer to the NBA format. Euroleague offers a much more physical style.

It's the school holidays still. NBL is a fantastic league full of talented players. I hope Sloan has an MVP caliber season, he will have to for the 6ers to be competitive!

Not sure who said the NBL was better than NBA or Euroleague like... ever...

And I am not sure why it matters. But no, Donald Sloan wont be MVP.

I don't think the 36ers record will help his MVP chances.

When was the last time the Sixers had an MVP?

Randle in like 2017, 2018 or whatever right?
before that Mark Davis?

It was love at first sight. What a sight!

Another great anon post. Sloan has already shown more in one pre-season game than Blake did in his entire time with the Kings lol

Best NBL import since Nate Driggers and Matt Nover

Thanks Mo, I needed a Good laugh.

Certainly didn't look like an MVP candidate tonight. Surprised he has played in the NBA based on that performance. Looks a bit overweight, slow with poor decision making and skills.

Could be he has mentally retired, and thought this league would be a doddle

Definitely was not impressed by Adelaide at all tonight, especially in the second half.

I thought that Adelaide had the worst roster the past few seasons but my expectations of them this season much much higher. Dech needs to find his role ASAP because he deserves minutes but looked lost. DJ was by far the only offensive threat tonight and Humphries looks like he's missed a lot of basketball...

But Sloan for NBL MVP sure isn't happening going on that performance.

I think Perth and Adelaide play in round 2 (unless it's been changed) and that will be a big game as the loser will be under increased pressure from the media, especially in Adelaide with their imports (Perth you feel are delighted with Cotton and Mooney).

Sloan is terrible

Sloan had to be benched in OT in favour of the likes of Teys and Dillon.

Yep, when Teysie owns you like a biatch, you know you need to improve

It's been said, but if Teys is getting played ahead of you in an overtime situation, you have a lot of improving to do.

(Teys played well in the bits I saw. Always underrated.)

Teys played a whole lot better than Sloan, this game.
( Humphries very good, much better than I expected he could be)

This thread aged about as well as a Trump tweet

"I reckon he will dominate and take out the MVP.

Experienced NBA vet, this pissant league will be nothing to him."




It's fun reading this and pondering over how Sloan is actually probably going to be the first import shown the door .... hahahaha.
Come back, Mo and tell us more!
