With the pool of free agents that played NBL last season drying up (the Jack Jumpers effect), you would think the teams will have either dip into returning Aussie college players or NBL1 players.
Who would be ready to contribute?

Forwards

Kian Dennis
Chier Maker
Bigs
Emmanuel Malou
Jack purchase
Oliver Hayes brown
I'm sure there’s guys I’ve missed but with plenty of roster spots up for grabs will be interesting to see what guys get a chance at the next level. They will all be chomping at the bit.

I'd say Taran Armstrong as well but don’t think teams will be able to pry him away from the NCAA

NBL1 West Development Contract Candidates
Mitch Clarke (PLH)
Riley Parker (MM)
Ethan Elliott (WS)
Zac Gattorna (PR)
Callum Beard (RF)
Clarke, Elliott & Beard have trained with the Cats previously / currently
Parker has been strongly linked to a move to Cairns at both NBL & NBL1 level
Beard also a former CoE athlete
Dufelmeier is Ilis backup at United bybreports.
None of the west guys will make it, quite a few in north will.
is Matt Kenyon on anyone's radar
is Jock Perry locked in as a DP

Jack Purshase may sign with Jackjumpers considering he plays basketball for the Hobart Chargers.

Jack Purchase sorry and Dufelmeier is linked to the Jackjumpers too.
Dufelmeir is absolutely killing everyone in the NBL1 South since his return to Tas. NO one anywhere near him. His game Vs Supercats on friday night was simply stellar.
Thoughts on Peter Hooley as a backup PG at NBL level?
Hooley to good on the commentary, his days best behind him on the court.
Correct. Hooley and Moller were unstoppable at Ballarat.
232 Hooley will be 30 next year.
His NBL playing career is done.
Judging by his stats his NBL1 career might be done too but luckily I think he has a genuine career in the media ahead of him.
Daniel, no team is going to take a 30 year old as an end of benchie. Be realistic.
