Biggest fallers I reckon Cairns. Without a Newbill level import can't see them make the playoffs. Sixers and Hawks will improve. Breakers I reckon will be the ones to beat.

SEM look dismal as do Brisbane...

They couldn't afford Roberson so what makes you think they can get Machado? Pineau isn't being paid peanuts nor is Gliddon.

Why would Moore start at Centre? They didn't pay Pineau decent cash to come off the bench all of a sudden...

Mitchell clearly said 5/4 for Moore.
'We need another post and an import 1.
After a NS too.

If Pineau starts they will end up in same position as last season.

Perth look weaker this year too.
Although there's talk Travers will play bigger minutes as a point forward as an unofficial next star.

Are teams really relying that much on next stars? Not going to get 5 star recruits like Hampton and Ball. If they are they're in a lot of trouble.

Giddey and king are high school next stars.
Louzada and Jessup are nba drafted/stashed next stars.

No doubt a few from this draft will come to nbl.

To the Guy who thinks SEM they couldn't afford John Roberson. Your wrong they could he just got a better offer in Europe. and some of the money is there because Tai Wesley contact has been removed ( he was on a lengthy contract ) so shush your mouth.

36ERS
PG SG SF PF C
J.Giddey (NS) D.Sloan (I) S.Dech (L) D.Johnson (L) I.Humphries(L)
B.Teys (L) D. Dillon (L) J.McVeigh (L) K.Pinder (L)
A.Mudronja (L) M.Harris (DP) N.Marshall (DP) L.Diing (DP) O.Hulland (DP)
DP's aren't confirmed look likely though and probably need another import 4 or local 4 to back up DJ
Bullets
PG SG SF PF C
N.Sobey (L) A.Drmic (L) O.Johnson (I) W.Magnay (L)(NBA) M.Hodgson (L)
T.Wigness (L) J.Cadee (L) T.Krebs (L) C.Dalton (DP) H.Froling (L)
K.Dennis (DP) B.Jones (DP) T.Harrison (L)
Will get an Import 4 and a local 4. When Magnay get his NBA out clause.
TAIPANS
PG SG SF PF C
M.Djeric (L) K.Noi (L) M.Deng (L) C.Oliver (I)
J.Kenny (L) M.King (NS) G.Blagojevic (L) F.Krslovic (L) N.Jawai (L)

Will Probably sign Machado back at the 1.
HAWKS
PG SG SF PF C
T.Harvey (I) J.Simon(I) D.Adel (L) C.Bairstow (L) S.Froling (L)
E.Naar (L) I.White (L) J.Jessup (NS) M.Darling (L) A.Ogilvy (IR) (L)
D.Grida (INJ) (L) D.Deng (L) A.Gak (DP)

Grida will most likely all of the season.
MU
PG SG SF PF C
M.McCarron (L) C.Goulding (L) D.Barlow (L)
S.Illi (L) Y.Baba (SRP) S.McDaniel (L) J.White (L) J.Lual-Acuil (L)
S.Short (DP) M.Peatilng (DP)
Waiting to hear Landale NBA situation till they target imports. Jack White may eventually start over Barlow.
BREAKERS
PG SG SF PF C
T.Webster (L) L.Patterson (I) T.Abercrombie (L) F.Delaney (L) C.Iverson (I)
J.Weeks (L) C.Webster (L) D.Trist (L) R.Loe (L)
T.Li (DP) T.Murray (DP) K.Galloway (DP)
Breakers looking strong last local 3 spot up for grabs Isaac Davidson or Ethan Rusbatch get that spot.
WILDCATS
PG SG SF PF C
M.Norton (L) B.Cotton (I) T.Blanchfield (L) J.Mooney (I)
K.White (L) W.Swaka Lo Buluk (L)C.Steindl (L)J.Wagstaff (L)
T.Britt (DP) L.Travers (DP) M.Majok (INJ) (L)
A.Ferguson (DP)

Need the 5 but could start Mooney at the 5 and have Wagstaff at the 4.
If Cotton Citenze before Jan Plumlee at the 5. Linked to Bolden ( Unlikely) Pledger or Andersen more likely
SEMP
PG SG SF PF C
C.Gliddon (L) R.Te Rangi (L) M.Creek (L) B.Moore (I)
K.Adnam (L) A.Gibson (L) K.Stephens (L) Y.Wetzell (L) D.Pineau (L)
I.Mauriohhooho-Le'afa (DP)
High Level Point Guard according to Liam Santamaria if they get a next star probably a SF would be good.
KINGS

C.Ware Jr (I) D.Vasiljevic (L) D.Louzada (NS) X.Cooks (L)
S.Bruce (L) A.Glover (L) B.Newley (L) C.Moller (L) D.Kickert (L)

36ers have stated they are looking for a import SF in the mould of Hopson or Torrey Craig to complete the roster

So they will end up with a starting 5 of

Sloan
Giddey or Dech
Import SF
Johnson
Humphries

Lack of quality fives in the competition could makes sides attempt small ball.
Humphries and Johnson at 4/5 isn't defensively very good, offensively they could be great, choose your poison.
Pineau in the five is small.
Oliver fantastic but not your monster.
Hodgson foul prone , Harrison, Froling, meh.
Other sides not that good or roster not finished in five spot as well.
I could see a lot of run and gun being played.

Samson.
Don't see Harry making finals.

With that said it's unlikely Hawks make it either

Kings look solid in the 2/3/4 spots, point guard as well. Could they see how they start before bringing in another import, go with Kickett and Cooks at five.

Cooks is overrated. Playing him at the 5 would be suicide for the Kings.

It was suicide playing him at the 3 last season and Newley came back into the starting five. Kay made him Tate look average in GF series. Cooks played 4/5 in college and his one season in Germany.

Doubt old man Andersen would come to Perth at age 40. Pledger seems more likely.

If any team needs a next star big it's Perth .

King will start over Djeric.
