Motum Jawai

Great team, perhaps lacks guard depth.
Add Ecum/Simmons to Vic line up. They the best state?

NSW:
Damo
Markovic
Bose
Ogilvy
Khazzouh
Nielsen
Petrie
Cadee

So not overly balanced, but wouldn't go over the points cap by TOO much (4-5pts?)

I'm sorry but why is Tyson Demos being mentioned in this thread?
Well said Situation & especially being described as a gun. The only time you'd use "gun" & "Demos" in the same sentence is if you were suggesting somebody shoot him.
Some WA players I can think of,
Worthington,Ellis,Gliddon,Nevill,J Harvey,Loughton,Hire,CJ Bruton (born USA but played Perth in his teens),Burston,DJohnson,Armour?,Field,Purser,Keanu Pinder.
South Australia;
T Daly,ingles,newly,schenscher,madgen,Forman,Holmes,Maynard,

That would actually be a bloody good tournament. Those teams are better then NBL and would be very interesting. Say as a warm up event for worlds or something play a tourney between SA, NSW, WA, VIC, QLD and TAS/Territories.
Have 2 pools of 3 so each play 2 games and then top 2 of each pool play knockout rounds.
Could be a big event if done properly and the higher level players playing! Obviously wouldn't be a yearly thing but possibly every 2 or 4 years
They should definitely explore this idea - different from an All Star game - it takes them back to playing with team-mates from juniors.
It's a great idea - but Basketball Australia wouldn't do it. The NBL should run with it.
