It's massive.

Imagine if last season didn't happen. And we went straight from Kevin Lisch to Daniels.

People would loose their shit and be over the moon.

We got lucky and were spoilt by Ennis last season. He was everything a fan could hope to see.

Now that we've seen that we look at Daniels and think "he's not as athletic. Not as flashy. Doesn't look as strong finishing in the lane etc".

We gotta rememebr out of all the NBL imports he's still going to be the one with most potential and credentials.

He's also playing along side Beal who finished 5th on All Star voting. With the top 3 no longer in the league I think.

Wildcats are still solid.

The main diff with Ennis to Daniels is how he fits in the rotation and affects redhag wags and knight. Daniels is a NBL 4. But the raptors want him to develop into a SF. So part of the deal is he'll play minutes at the three and work on his game as a 3 man.

This should be fine. But there maybe a risk that he just can't play the three spot and becomes too much of liability. I doubt that'll happen. But it may cause some problems for the team rotations as a whole.

I think the wildcats system will help him bulk and and get stronger. Playing against Martin everyday at training will also prepare him well.

Beal will also bring in a new component having played a season and now has more knowledge and experience about the league and australia under his belt.

Fan perception will be tough from casuals. They are gonna miss the entertainment and swagger of Ennis. But as long as we win and Daniels puts up big numbers and is a game changer the support will continue.

Daniels all round game is more polished than Ennis was when he arrived.

The 2014/15 wildcats are championship contenders. But they no longer have the pressure of needing to win a championship.

Can Perth do nothing wrong? Fantastic signing for the team, the NBL and hopefully for Daniels. Another step in the right direction.

Marquee signing?

Ughh. *Head in hands

great for perth.

Are these "one and done" stash guys good for the league though?

I think they are mick . even if he stays one year perth will just find someone as good

@ Statsheet,

You think he's a bad choice?

Daniels is a future raptors starting 5 member, great get imo

Haha no the opposite. I dislike Perth with a passion.

Could be even more effective than Ennis because he seems like he actually cares about D

Wrong, their utter dominance is making the league look like a joke.

Our utter dominance? ... wait, which team landed a three-peat, again?

The utter dominance that saw 5 of their 7 opponents beat them last season? Including Wilson Sting's mob twice?

Perth are the Man united of the nbl. Other nbl teams look like west bromwich albion and southhampton compared to them.

Perth own the league in terms of crowds, finance, player retention, import quality, extended staff, and media. Without perth wildcats, nbl is near irrelevant.

Utter dominance kind of went out the window in that post-Christmas period, season had to be rescued by some ironclad home finals performances.

Tall poppy syndrome

I think everyone knows what I mean when I say utter dominance. They are streets ahead of the rest of the league (consistent performance on and off the court) and I say it with respect and admiration. Just not sure what the rest of the league (including front office) can do to catch up.

....but what have the Romans ever done for us?

I don't think the Breakers would agree with you there Wilson, but certainly those two have been well ahead.
