Phil Smyth
36ers finalise squad
18/08/2006
The Adelaide 36ers have finalised their roster for the 2006/07 Philips Championship season after Forestville guard Matt Sutton and Sturt centre-forward Jordan Dodman joined the 10-man rotation.

Sutton, 22, is a 194cm point guard and Dodman, 19, a versatile 206cm big man.

"Matty has really developed into a good point guard," 36ers coach Phil Smyth told the Adelaide Advertisers Boti Nagy.

"He's even improved since the Port Lincoln camp but then training daily against Mahersy and Willie will do that for you.

"Jordy is still developing, is in the Australian youth team and training very well."
Star import Nick Horvath joined his new team earlier this week for his first training run and looked every bit the star that he is.

Horvath, 210cm and 25, only arrived in Adelaide from Minnesota on Wednesday but stayed up late last night "to get my body-clock right" and trained with his new team.

"He is a legitimate player," Sixers assistant Steve Breheny said.

The 36ers will be captained in 2006/07 by triple-Olympian Brett Maher.

The 36ers' two additional "development players" will be Marcus Ng (Sturt) and Erik Burdon (North Adelaide).

The squad is: Maher, Farley, Lanard Copeland, Horvath, Brett Wheeler, Brad Hill, Mark Nash, Darren Ng, Adrian Majstrovich, David Cooper, Sutton, Dodman. Development: Marcus Ng, Erik Burdon.
