Deba George (technically not a rookie as he has played some minutes for the Taipans many years ago) will get plenty of game time and is the Taipans most promising new talent.
As above, Bose and Gynes. Also Mitch Norton once he recovers from injuries. Greg Hire could get some good minutes, but he already played games for Perth last season.
Would Bose or Gynes be the best option for Dream Team? I've heard a lot about Bose, however, looking at the box scores Gynes seems to produce more.

I think Alex Gynes is going to surprise a lot of people this season. He was a signing that went under the radar but performed just as well as Bose during the pre-season tournament.
Anatoly Bose
Averaged 23 minutes a game (over 2 games, missed 1 through injury) for per game stats of:
8 points, 8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1 steal, 0.5 blocks
13.3 points, 5 rebounds and 0.6 steals
how old is deba george? i remeber him from the 2005 dunk comp in townsville! had no idea he was still in the league? dunno if he left and came back or hung around the whole time but either way, hows that for hangin in there!

Deba's 24/25ish I think? Incredible talent, won the MVP of the QBL last season.

Deba's 26. And yes, it's been a long road for him to get into the Taipans.
Tom, quite right. He is a most promising player. Anyone who saw him play against the Blaze last week would have left wondering why he wasnt selected sooner.
