With the Blake signing, Khazzouh back soon & Brewster only an injury cover player, who do the Kings snap up for their last spot? Looks like they have all the pieces in place...
A hustle player or energy player (like a Kev White style, but maybe bigger) may be the best bet?

Yep! Or maybe someone like Andrew Bogut LOL... they'd find the money : )

I'm am unfamiliar with the injury replacement spot, but is it possible for them to effectively sign Prewster for the rest of the season? Did a similar thing happen last year with Jarrad Weekes joining on with the Hawks (although was that to do with Demos being ruled out for the remainder of the season?)?
Moller did really well against Brisbane and was at the away games so far, can play in various positions to, probably out him and Prewster, though I don't know how the injury replacement rule works.

I like both those guys. Moller has more potential. Brewster could cover the back court spots a little better, but don't think there's much need there. : )
Where'd Stiendl end up?

@Air Delay - it's Prewster, not Brewster. With Prewster though, it's an 11-man roster. Prewster wasn't signed as an injury replacement for Khazzouh - no one was! When Khazzouh comes back, no one needs to move out for him. So to answer the question: Prewster can be the 11th man.
Steindl is playing in Belgium

Bo Liu is a development player... it's been stated in every single article about him... Same as Moller, although the latter got a lot of playing time in the pre-season...
I suspect with Prewster already on the team, and having to fit five players under $400,000 (I thought it was 4, but apparently not) would have to get someone super cheap like Dion to make the numbers work...

So who are the Kings contracted 5 under that mark? What's an NBL min wage?

Khazzouh??? Their 11th man????
They are already deep enough, talented enough, good enough without throwing in a 7 footer to swallow up rebounds and block anything in the lane.
Wire up that Andrew Gaze so that we can at least pretend they are not doing it easy or about to do it easy

Commentators last night called Prewster an injury replacement for kazzu, still one spot available.

Yeah, but commentators in NZ were wondering who is getting cut when Jules comes back, some have also said that Whittington has come straight from college and the ones IN Perth were wondering when Greg Hire's wife was having their baby when it had already been born, so let's not take what commentators say as gospel, yeah?
All that we know so far is that Jules is to come back, Blake is replacing Bryson and Prewster is playing on the team... After his performance Monday night and the fact that he's been with the team all pre-season and that he'd be cheap, that is enough to no doubt lock him in permanently...
Theorising about which players are in the bottom $500,000 is pretty pointless as with most other teams, as we don't know what they're being paid or worth until/if the NBL becomes suddenly transparent like they said they'd be...
My GUESS would be Prewster, Hill (rookie deal?), Bryson (at the time), Garlepp/Cadee and Whittington, seeing as how much a decent wage her would be as a step up from the D-League... Getting Blake in for Bryson sort of mucks that maths up...
