he's got a nice shot but didn't get much court time with Melb Utd when a development player

Was he a cheap purchase ?

Was he the best player available.

Who remembers daddy's 3 pointer - for the opposition - when he tried a cross-court pass to Andrew @ Albert Park?

Sixers

Giddey, Dillon, Mudronja
Dech, Teys, Kendle.
Crocker, McVeigh
Pinder, Purchase
Johnson

36ers - where kids of former NBL players go when there's nowhere else.

Giddey, Purchase, Pinder ... who's next? LOL

I feel like Giddey had options

And how could I forget Harry Froling?

For the prima donna's in here, who are you getting instead of Jack Purchase? of those players who would be willing to give up their day job to play some games? of those players which would be willing to play for minimum money, unless you are willing to put in a several thousand which you will never get back?

Poor call Hoopie. Giddey is projected as a first round NBA draft pick. It's not like he sucks as a player and is only getting a job through nepotism.

Oh dear

" who's next? LOL"

Grace was a DP

Fair call, Jick - I was just being cynical.

I hope Giddey does get his draft call-up, end of story. BUT I don't think his current circumstances are helping his chances unless he takes control and shows some broader skills than what he's limited to right now.

Just has too much of a 'JVG jobs for sons of his mates' feel to it not that it matters really.

Perth fan. Kendle is gone as soon as our Brandon Paul comes in.

Terrific pick-up. Great shot. Difficult as a DP to get minutes at MU. All accounts of his training this year have been really good.

We move to title favourites with this JVG signing

We look forward to welcoming Jack Purchase to the Bullets family next season.

Can I return this Purchase for a full refund?

I'm basically a Sixers fan at this point. Gotta try to get to a game.

JVG does definitely go with what/who he knows though. He got Copeland and Bradtke up to the Bullets and Gaze/Copeland to coach the Kings.

Fair enough Hoopie. A reasonable exchange on the internet with someone with different views - what is this???

Is he a replacement for anyone or addition.

Don't imagine he was bought on to radically change their championship run

Humphries is injured.

To be fair, you can't bring in anyone (Aussie or import) from overseas intime to make any real difference before (hopefully) IH is back because of Covid, and a top Aussie player won't come back as injury replacement anyway (yes we could release other players when IH comes back, but will be tough for whoever will be cut to stay focussed until replacement starts when we are already down 2 players, which would probably make things worse in short term).

Also assume there is no Aussie available in the country that would be equivalent to IH, so any player will be a downgrade.

Jack is just a backup. It's unfortunate timing or luck we already have the same thing happening waiting for Branden Paul to start, but can't really control injuries

Hulland must be asking himself why he left college early for this.

Fair point bit will Hulland back up Purchase or Purchase back up Hulland? Time will tell I guess

Purchase on the full roster Hulland a DP probably means Purchase will play ahead of him but hopefully Hulland gets more court time now.

Or will they both backup Pinder.

^expert opinion? keyboard warrior. Give him some time to at least prove himself. He's a terrific shooter, had a good college career and continuing to develop. MU were high in praise re his talent, so let’s see.

Purchase is an injury replacement player.
People are overreacting.

When is Paul expected to play?

Paul said on twitter this morning that he had four more days in quarantine from memory. So I guess he will miss tomorrow's game, but may play the next one?
