Cairns Taipans Roster 2013/14

"I'm not denying Hudson's ability to play PF but for team harmony I don't want him taking court time off Loughton or Trigger."

why because he may play some defense?

Burston was in fine form at the pointy of last season - himself and bubbles killed off the Taipans top 4 finish on our homecourt. He already has ship under his belt and brings experience and size to the middle which we lacked.

Getting a 7ft import is highly unlikely given their rarity and price tag. Stats go learn about Young - he is leading the emerging boomers team around the court. Cairns just lacked a consistent big body in the middle - get him under the eyes of the Taipans conditioner and reduce his injury risk and will be a perfect starting centre for this offensive laden roster. An impact 2/3 import with Bruce as wilson's backup and the club is on track for a top4 contention for the next couple of years with the core singed to multi-year deals.

I'd still prefer Hudson to join Cairns but Wollongong should chase him too

"I'm not sure why they would play Hudson at PF when the fully fit roster contains 3 legit PFs."

Injury cover and he can actually box out and rebound.

I really like the look of Steindl but if he can't guard the three then what chance will he have at 2?

I'm not sure why they would play Hudson at PF when the fully fit roster contains 3 legit PFs.

Good luck to Burston and trigger back together and hopefully we see a cairns side like the one that played my wildcats late in the season and not the boring Fearne team that weren't clutch at all for most of the season

great thing about Hudson is he doesn't mind rolling up his sleeves and doing the dirty work plus he can spend some time at the 4.

Nat. I had thought Townsville may have picked him up but Cairns would prob be a good fit (for Leon Henry).

Leon Henry is still in talks with at least 1 NBL club and can play SF and some PF and is a versatile defender so maybe the Taipans.
Will Hudson is still available and may suit Fearnes plans.
