I had been wondering why no team had signed him yet. I know he quickly fell out of the rotation despite having some good pre-season games but the Kings really hyped up his signing last season.

Deng Deng looks like he has the tools to succeed in the league. He has athleticism, a reasonable shot and ability to create off the dribble. But I feel the Breakers need more size at the 5. Is this to also cover for injuries to Delaney and Vodanovic?
Strange signing, though not many true five men around. He'll struggle against any of the fives with size.

Could be anything. Gaze never got the best out of his players.

Ashley & Majok will cover the 5 and he will play at the 4 I would imagine
They have ashley and majok at the 5.
Vodanovich and Delaney at the 4. Plus Hopson.
Could get a dp Centre from somewhere cheap.

They would do well to replace Ater Majok if possible he's the worst player I've seen in the NBL in years. Can't bend down, slow, poor co-ordination, hands like bricks etc I can only imagine he must've been a buddy of Obekpa's from the Lebanese league because he's no where near NBL standard anymore.
SEK Henry was visibly upset with Major a couple of plays against Melbourne. Leo's injury could be problematic if Ashley’s foul trouble continues.
