If having 4 "talls" is the way to go, then watching the Tigers play makes me a bit more comfortable with the 36ers mix of players. Not to say that a decent 3 man would be nice but the Tigers are so bad at the moment that ex-players like Gaze, Copeland, Bradke etc must cringe every time they see this rabble hit the floor in Tigers uniforms. Certainly Gaze didnt seem too impressed in commentary last game.

Melbourne's experiment with 4 bigs is definitely not working, or will it, especially with the quality they have.

I like Nevill, and Burston is a great backup centre in the NBL, as he works so hard. But playing Wade Helliwell is just silly. He has no real upside in our game, too slow, and no real skill. Would prefer them to play Tragardh at the 4 spot, like he truly is, and play Nevill at the 5, and bring Burston's energy and work ethic of the bench for some quality minutes.

In saying that, their's are 2 imports that have gotta go... Neither looked interested at all, and the Tigers got better production from the lean bench they have.

Replace Campbell, and Devendorff with a PG, and scoring SF, and start corletto at the 2. In a few weeks or so they will have Greer back also to fill the void left at the 3 spot.

Maybe easier said than done, but I think that is the need for Melbourne to avoid the bomb shelter this season.
