08/09 NBL Points List Released

Sutts on a 3 seems hard....

would we?? how can we make it better?? What type of line up are the tigers going to have??
Say they get Aaron Bruce or Daniel Dillon to replace D-Mac and 2 new imports what would there team look like

C Anstey/Stiff
PF IMPORT/Hoare
SF Barlow/Greer
SG IMPORT/Corletto
PG Bruce or Dillon/Crosswell

Not sure if they would eb able to fit Hoare in off the bench as a 9 also?? unless he has a lower internal rating or something
I agree that line up would be a bit deeper than my suggested 36ers roster, but are Greer and Corletto and Crosswell really much better than say Hill, Burdon and Dodman, id only give the tigers a slight edge and Maher or Davidson off the bench would be better than any of the tigers bench players.
Plus if Hodge returns i cant see the Tigers getting a import better than him and they would be lucky to get someone who is equal to him which could give us an edge also.
I think my suggested line up using a main 7 man rotation would do quite well against the tigers line up above, assuming Schenscher plays to the standard of a 8-10 point player and the rest of the starters are injury free and in good form.

C Schenscher (10)/Cooper (8)
PF Ballinger (10)/Dodman (3)
SF Holmes (8)/Hill (2)
SG Hodge (10)/Burdon (3)
PG Davidson (8)/Maher (7)

= 69 points,
if Maher is a 5 and/or they can get Schenscher or Cooper downgraded by a point that line up would fit, and looks like a decent line up to me.
Would people be happy with that line up???
I put Hill in instead of Tovey at SF because he is cheaper, he is from SA and his dad is the assistant coach so guessed it could be a good chance of him returning to the 36ers.
If they cant get someone downgraded id change Dodman, Burdon or Hill with a un tried 1 point rookie, maybe a michael Zorich or someone like that would be worth a 1 and be worth a shot to make it fit.
Not the deepest bench but id use Cooper off the bench to back up both big man spots for 20-30 mins and Maher off the bench to back up both guard spots for 20-30 mins and slide Hodge to SF when Holmes goes off so would have that as my main 7 man rotation, which i think is decent and Hill, Burdon and Dodman will get minutes here and there around 5-10 mins and if they show good form could force a 15min per game role for themselves.
It also has a good SA content with 6/10 being SA born, which would please many fans

yea i think the only guys worth a 10 are Hodge, Ere, Anstey, Rickert, Worthington, Franklin, Ballinger, Penney and Bruton, the rest should be 9's or 8's i think maybe guys like Harvey and one or 2 names i may have missed could be 10's but id still have him as a 9
Guys like Peters, Muursepp and Chappell should be 8's at the highest, i guess it wont matter though as i dont think those guys will be returning.
I also think guys like Ng and Caporn and guys like that are a tad high also. Will be interesting to see if more appeals occur

some interesting ones, how is Mike Chappell a 10 and Jason Crowe a 8??? id say Crowe had a much better season than Chappell, a few others similar to this, what are others thoughts. I think some are rated a bit highly eg Chappell, Alston and Muursep not too many too low though. Overall its ok i guess but yea a few interesting ones in there.
