According to this article he is expected to sign with an NBL team.

Mentions Perth and Sydney are keen.

Hearing its Perth.

Would be a huge upgrade on Doyle but Doyle is very very cheap and has another year.

Tom Wilson has signed with Sydney so it could be suggested that they are out of the race for Naar.

Perth not excercising option on Kenny would suggest they have someone lined up.....smart money says that is Naar.

Brandt/Import
Kay/Walker/Pinder
Import/Wagstaff
Import/Steindl
Martin/Naar

Looks okay to me

Wouldn't mind seeing something like this:

Martin, Naar
Import combo guard, Steindl
Import, ?
Kay, Wagstaff, L.Walker
Brandt, Import.

Find another young player for bench.

Cairns or Illawarra should snap him up

Tom Wilson has signed with Sydney so it could be suggested that they are out of the race for Naar.

Hopefully that's still the case, as would hate to lose yet another promising Sydney talent for the sake of Tigers friends & family...

happy to be 4th fiddle in Perth ? Import, Martin. Norton
happy to be 4th fiddle in Melb ?
happy to be 5th fiddle in Brisbane? Gliddon, Cadee, Gibson + import
happy to be 4th fiddle in Syd - Randle, Lisch,Tom Wilson
happy NZ just picked up weeks to be 3/4 rd fiddle ?

thats 5/8th of the league gone


just leaves
Illawarra
Adelaide
Cairns

unsigned
Shaun Bruce

possibly in that order ?

For Perth, it really depends where they see Steindl playing? Is he better suited to backing up the 2 or 3?
In Perth's game, I suspect 3, which means there is some opportunity for another young guard. Also gives him plenty of time to develop without too much pressure.

You'd have to figure that Damo will see less and less court time, which means Norton should see real minutes.

How good is Narr? Could he step straight in and play serious minutes in the NBL?
Or is he more likely to spend a year as a DP?

Steindl's best games for Perth last season was when he was riding the pine.

Fro all the shit he cops, and claims he doesn't develop players, Gleeson has a skill for spotting talent others don't. He must have plans for Steindl.

Clint made his name as an outside shooter, a skill that seemed to desert him last season. With Vague coming in, Trev must have plans for Clint to be something more than the 11th man who plays 2 minutes and hits a couple of bombs.
If he's going to be the backup SG, then the only place for Naar would be as a DP.
Then they need to go out and find another 3 or 3/4.

Has even said he's coming home?

"Naar has a much better record than Stiendl did at St Marys, not a super scorer but beat Dellavedova's assist record then so he may be better than a DP in nbl"
That's the Rub isn't it.
Being a DP for a year wouldn't be a bad gig. They can be paid equivalent to the League minimum (plus benefits?)
And can play all the home games and half the away games (and that rule may have been relaxed when allowed a DP to travel.)

@SammyWSIG

Big news to share - @smcgaels & now @illawarrahawks PG Emmett Naar is off to the NBA Summer League, joining the Phoenix Suns!

The WCC is worse now than when Delly/Patty played in it so its great to have the assist record but the team.conference dynamic is different.

Good luck to Naar hopefully he goes well at summer league
