Where is the Ellis rumour coming from?

damian heuir was putting up 27 pts per game in the qbl or thereabouts. 33pts in seabl means nothing.

wildcats are putting together a roster that's 3 reasonable imports away from being a playoff team again.

Bullets are throwing shit at a wall and hoping it sticks once the imports are in the mix.

Yep dont rate what Brisbane have done so far at all

Gliddon the only worthwhile signing they have made

Getting Bairstow back if healthy will be good 2

If they dont build around those 2 plus 3 good imports, and do stupid things like start Cadee, they will struggle again

Perth have been spot on, hopefully this will stop the Perth fans complaining about lack of signings

What would you rather be patient and get Kay or rush out and sign Cadee, Hodgson, Vukona??

This has to be the most pro-Perth post I've ever read, and it has some pretty good competition.

Perhaps you’ve forgotten how you lot were all frothing at the gash at the prospect of signing Gliddon just a couple of weeks back.

Vukona’s a better version of the Redhage you guys had for his last couple of seasons... who you all loved.

This is why nobody likes you...

Why are the Bullets random?

I see a distinct combination of deadeye shooting and physicality/toughness in those four guys

Vukona is an upgrade on the tough guy leader Petrie, Gliddon is an upgrade on Holt, Cadee is an upgrade on Shaun Bruce and probably Adam Gibson

As long as Cadee only plays the same role as Shaun Bruce, then yes its an upgrade.

If the talk of him starting is true, then its a big downgrade form Travis Trice

Time will tell as to how they use Cadee

Vukona brings a ton of leadership to Brisbane and will improve their culture.

Redhage was far superior offensively to vukona even in his final two years, both bring alot to a team. But vukona is really getting up there and going to a new team...

Manu

So does Cadee bring "deadeye shooting"? He's too streaky to be called a “deadeye” unless you mean he’s blind to his own shooting form at the time (ie he keeps jacking up 3s whether he’s hot or not).

Vukona brings some toughness/ physicality, but Hodgson just brings dumb fouls and butter fingers.

Does Cadee bring toughness because, you know, that 1 time he was so tough he took out a car with pure physicality and survived.

Haha, 43.3 per cent from 4.8 attempts per game last season. You ain't happy with that?

Shooting comes from the guards and toughness from the bigs

Gliddon was 43.2 per cent from 6.5 attempts

To see the problem with Cadee you need to look at game logs rather than final %s. He has a crazy shooting night and usually follows it up with a handful of duds. That's fine if he's first guard off the bench, but given how little he gives you down the other end of the court it's a problem if he's your starting guard. He finished last season strong though, I'll give him that - the Lisch/Randle/Cadee 3 guard lineup was surprisingly good.

the Lisch/Randle/Cadee 3 guard lineup was surprisingly good.

I hope Hodgson surprises a few of you next season and wins MIP. He is better than what we saw for most of last season and I suspect Brisbane will be a better fit.

OK, well...

Brissy got Cadee and Gliddon, we got Norton. I'd score that as a win to Brissy. But that said, how many local guards does Lemanis want crowding his bench?

Brissy got Hodgson and Vukona, we got Kay. Massive win for Perth.

Despite the streaky shooting, he's the kind of guy perfect for the bench spark plug role.

God help Brisbane if Cadee starts. The league has gone past that talent-wise

I think the Brisbane signings are decent but Kay and Norton are a great core to build around. That movement will set Perth up for years and leave the Hawks in a serious hole.
