Kickert/Macmillan
Worthington/Walker
Barlow/Odigie
McRae/Corletto
Dennis/Tomlinson

Impressive. One of the most talented line-ups in NBL history. Only potential weakness is injury to Kickert.

They were close to landing Tom Jervis as well Luckily they didn't

How is it that every week another good import is announced from the summer league etc but we signed a local seabl player AGAIN!!!

Great season of basketball approaching, I will def be going to check out United when they come to Auckland to play.

Wow. This years import class has to be the best ever? (On paper before seeing how they turn out obviously).

Everyone of these talented import signings lifts the standard of the league. The real test will be to see how many play a second and third year. This is even more important for the guys straight from college because as we have seen with our own Lucas Walker they are still young and will improve each year. What is it going to take to keep them here rather than a one and done season? Would have been great to see Rotnei Clarke go round again.

Yeah, but Chris Anstey is not a great coach; this team projects to underachieve especially when their veteran leader is Mark Worthington. I predict chemistry problems.

That said, yep, the sixers offseason keeps getting worse, comparatively.

Not bad! Not bad at all, this season is going to be something else.

Aussiepride. We actually need these signings to head to NBA after the first season, the reason they come here is they use it as a springboard. if it continues to prove a good spring board more and more will come. I have a feeling this is only the beginning! provided that some of these guys make an NBA splash at years end.

It would be nice if we could get a mix, some heading back and making the NBA but some that don't returning.

GWb. I agree if they head to the NBA it is a win for us. It is when they head to some obscure league in Finland or Switzerland I have a problem with. Is it just the money or there something we are missing in keeping them here? It is not that bad in this country is it?

I have more than enough confidence in Anstey to be comfortable that United will underachieve.

Nah, Anstey will do alright I would think here.

Some serious big signings! Exciting times ahead...

Melbourne would have to have the most versatile roster in the league wouldn't they? Dennis, Barlow, Worthington, Walker and now McRae can all play multiple positions.

Wortho well behind Walker. Time for him to accept he is now a role player.

I agree that Walker will start ahead of Worthington.

Great lineup...if Anstey can't get them to the grand final, he's got no excuse but his lack of coaching talent.

Wortho is a bench player in this team, Sluggish at best last season and starting to show his age.

Holy Crap...

There are no glaring weaknesses on the court for the United.

Melbourne must be favourites...I can imagine the word Tigers being forgotten quickly with this team.

Certainly helps when you have the full cap to spend up front. New owners have done well. Good to see, wish all cities had the same!

United is absolutely loaded.

This is why I don't like the marquee rule...creates disparity and an uneven playing field.

Another Sixers fan that also watched this guy look very good in the Summer league and suprised he isn't playing for the Sixers (Philadelphia) this season. Don't know how they can fit him in though?
