Wow, Breakers could have used him! What about Brisbane or SEM?
If the NBL doesnt at least attempt to get him theyre eeeedyots
One team has already publicly expressed its interest and its a good fit too.
The team with the best looking jerseys and are the current reigning champions. It would make a lot of sense for him to sign with the Perth Bandits.

Yes. The Perth Wildcats are looking to sign him on the roster as it doesn't interfere with the 3 imports they already have. Perth have conceeded the championship goes through Sydney. This signing will improve the Wildcats chances. Expect an announcement before Christmas.
Reason he's ineligible is Penny Hardaway paid for move to Memphis, how dumb do you have to be with FBI sniffing around college basketball already, especially with such a high profile recruit.

Isn't the next stars program for those eligible for the draft?
Perth - Hunt and Majok
Cairns - Oliver and Jawai
Adelaide - Johnson and Froling
Cairns seems the best fit as Oliver can play the 4.
Perth have vague also, Adelaide has also played Griffin at 5.
And also those who have already been drafted, but need to learn how to speak English
Bit of a shame that probably his 2 best fits are SEM/Hawks who already have Next Stars. He would have been a great fit in Perth if this had all happened before the season started. Not really needed now with Hunt/Majok/Vague though. Cairns is probably his most likely destination if he did come down under.
Heck just let the Hawks sign him. Him and lamelo would be fun to watch together. Even if they just cut Boone and signed Wiseman as an 'import'.
He could fit at Brisbane but apparently he can speak mandarin so maybe China will get him with some big bucks.
Brisbane already have 3 centres that get minutes.
Penny paid for his family to move when the kid was 7! Not recently.
Because he so rated money to the school in 2008 the NCAA classify him as a booster. He didn't move the guys family recently and while the head coach.
"Penny paid for his family to move when the kid was 7! Not recently."
It was 2017 lol, not when he was 7 years old

More like a tongue-in-cheek old school reference.

Hope he plays for cairns and they go with a 7 man black rotation plus djeric.
What is not cool? The more people of colour in this league the better.
Is it to late to bring in a new next star this season?
