Sixers options in the middle
Boti has a run through today (Big man high for Sixers) of potential replacements for Paul Rees. The names featured are Stiff (though he has an option with the Tigers), Hinder, Behrendorff, Moore and Rice.
He mentions that the 36ERS will probably look to retain Rychart, Holmes, Forman, Nash, Gower and Hambour of their current group.
And there's also Around the NBL for the week with the vital jokes aimed at Fisher, Stacker, Fisher again, and a nice bit about Willie Jennette:
SOUTHERN president Bill Hopkins was surprised on Monday when former clubman and one-time Gold Coast import Willie Jennette rang.And of course, a great paraphrasing of a classic line - Dealing with a sports administrator is like wrestling a pig in mud; after a couple of hours, you realise that you're both dirty, but the pig likes it.
Having read of the plight of former NBL forward Matt Alexander - who moved here on Saturday and had all his possessions stolen from his parked car the same day - Jennette rang asking what size Alexander is and supplied him with shoes, clothing and training gear. In one swoop he proved he didn't only have great range but also a big heart.

Of those big men, assuming no financial or points cap constraints, who would you pick? The options again: Stiff, Hinder, Behrendorff, Moore, Rice.
