Just like last year's PSM team, why do they come out a couple of weeks before the season starts? I think only 1 of the PSM players' got picked up last year.

Was that Jenkins who the Bandits only picked up after they dumped their original import?

Chris Warren has brought out the Eurobasket Team as he looks after guys like Kevin Lisch, Shaun Redhage and Eric Gaff.Has a very good reputation here as an agent and brings out quality players.

Not saying the quality isn't there, just bad timing with season about to start and given how long it can take to get paperwork sorted along with negotiations etc. I spoke to cpl PSM players last year while out here and they weren't too happy with how it went.

Have a look at the box scores in the links I posted earlier & you will see the players & how they performed.

You can see their match reports in the news listings here:

If your looking for a big that can shoot the 3 look at Jack Houpt.Slightly built 6-7 more of a 3 with a bit of 4.

I heard they have a bunch of solid guards (more Big V standard than SEABL, but can play)and a 6'8 big named Lewis who doesn't see the ball much given their shooters and 2 white 6'7 kids who are both SF's with one or both maybe going to a Waratah team. Beleive Bandits ran all of their junior CBL kids more minutes than their import and other senior guys, so result was probably inevitable and as such irrelevant.

Eurobasket report on the game against Albury:
http://www.eurobasketsummerleague.com/?NewsID=353656

Yes, you can't read anything into pre-season results but I was surprised how well Hills especially went against the touring team when they were missing some of their key players & are a middle of the pack team in Waratah.
