Last year we saw an influx of younger talent into the NBL.
Who do we think - from this year's NBA draft pool - we'll see in the NBL?
I'm hoping for JP Tokoto or Norman Powell to the Wildcats - we need a legit SG to compliment Beal.
LeBryan Nash could be someone we will see here and maybe Joseph Young mainly just on where they are supposed to be getting drafted.

I know he's not a draftee. But why not pursue the likes of Seth Curry? Might be a long shot i know, but it would sure garner some media Attention. Especially with Bogut and Steph in the stands watching on!
The NBL needs to think marketing as well as talent. Seth is fringe NBA anyhow. Not followed his form too hard but ive seen him play the odd game he was solid.
Its all well and good to get a Draftee or two or more in the NBL, it lifts the level of the game for sure! However it doesn't really get that many new NBL fans involved.
A name like Curry is now know well beyond committed NBL/NBA fans. Why not cash in on it. The NBL needs NEW bums on seats.
I'm sure if he was willing any team would be happy to jump at him. He seems content at this stage to play D-League and wait for futher opportunities though. Its not like he needs to worry about money with his family.
I agree though it would be a great get, both talent wise and marketing value. As an undersized shooting combo guard he'd be a good fit at a lot of clubs

Seth has been receiving 10 day contracts here and there. I'm sure he wants to stay in the D-League and hope he can stick in someones roster at some point.
Would be very good in the NBL I imagine, when you see the success Rotnei Clark had as an undersized shooter

I wouldn't mind Josh Richardson who the Heat just drafted for the wildcats he looks like an exciting athlete and the Wildcats already have a connection with the Heat from the Ennis days.

With all the Cats $$$ why dont they go for a more proven talent at the import sf spot??
Someone like Childress, Ere, Donta Smith or a similar resume with some good NBA/Euro experience.
I just reckon for every James Ennis you get you will get 5-10 average players and you will see exactly why they are not in the NBA whilst Ennis is.
Daniels was ok, but nothing close to Ennis.
Just dont see why they take such a gamble.
Or are the proven guys I mentioned above just way too expensive for even the Wildcats to bring in???
