Lucas Walker is a former AIS graduate and former Tasmanian like the two coaches. I see he is currently playing SEABL in Victoria. Could he be a possible recruit for 36's?

I think a more likely recruit (mentioned previously and by Marty in an interview) would be Ben Allen the 6'11" senior from St Mary's who is also an AIS graduate. I would also be incredible if Allen was to convince Omar Samhan from St Mary's (who might end up in the NBA) to come to Adelaide with him. I know it's wishful thinking but would be a great pickup and make for an unbelievably strong front court with Balls and Burston.

How many points would players with that sort of background cost?

What about Carlin Hughes (graduated from St Mary's last year)? He was a good player. We could also look at Diamon Simpson, as an import, who graduated with Hughes. Currently plying his trade in the D-League for the aptly named D-Fenders.
Maaaaybe we could land Ben Allen, but Samhan will definitely be focusing on getting into the NBA after his tournament run - even though he has no chance of sticking, not unlike Schenscher (bless 'im, but it was never going to happen).
