Thoughts on Everard Bartlett now?
NZ won't chase Bartlett, Breakers Academy will provide replacement players for Bruton and Boucher when they are ready to retire.

Yep Bartlett won the dunk comp in NZ. I've seen him in shoot arounds, he can really get up.

I think after this year Everard Bartlett will be chased by most teams.. He's kiwi so it wouldn't surprise me if signs in NZ


could you go with a line up of say
(approx salaries based on 1 mil cap and a max salary of 175k, (assuming salary cap is stuck to))
C Johnson (175k)/Helliwell(40 k)
PF Simpson (175 k)/ ?? Motum (65 k) or other young college returnee
SF Weigh (125 k)/Creek (100 k)
SG Warren (135 k)/Herbert (65 k)
PG Crosswell (65 k)/Bartlett (55 K)
I reckon that would be fairly solid and should be able to fit in under salary and points caps.
With rotations of
C Johnson (30)/Motum (5)/Helliwell (5)
PF Simpson (30)/Motum (10)
SF Weigh (25)/Creek (15)
SG Warren (20)/Creek (10)/Herbert (10)
PG Crosswell (15)/Bartlett (15)/Warren (10)
Well rounded line up with good athleticism, shooting/scoring, weakness will still be defense, but with Simpson, Creek, Crosswell, Herbert and guys like Johnson improving should improve and not be totally terrible.

I reckon Balls has played his last game. Out for the season and he will find it hard to come back.
