Isn't he the same size as Mika Vukona at 6.6" ?
Sure he's only young and no where near being the undersized beast on the block that Mika is but maybe he has done enough in training and the recent NZNBL season to prove to the Coaching staff that he deserves a full-time spot on the team. I'm happy for him and hopefully he can step up to the challenge.

decent signing for the bench, 6 4" with handles and speed and ability to play some PG, SG & SF.
Stud Import PG / ?
Corey Webster / Daniel Dillon
Tom Abercrombie / Reuban TeRangi or Ritchie Edwards
Mika Vukona / Duane Bailey
Alex Pledger / Rob Loe or NZNBL Import
I'm still holding out hope that the Breakers snag Rob Loe which would allow them to run a cheaper import as the back up PG & with TeRangi awaiting sentencing on serious charges Edwards could be a decent replacement at SF.
If Rob Loe is unattainable then Vickerman has been looking at a couple of NZNBL Imports to play some minutes at PF and back up Pledger at Centre which will allow them to spend decent $ on the PG spot.
Corey Webster has earned his spot in the starting 5 and Bailey can play some SF if needed and play minutes at PF when Vukona gets in foul trouble.
Options for backup PG? Tait, Kenney? Bloxham hasn't really shown enough to suggest he can play at NBL level. At least Dillon & Webster have handles.
Not a ton of experience on the bench but pretty long and athletic team.




Will be interesting to see how he goes as he starred for grand finalists Oradea in the Romanian league last season.

If ABL clubs could make trades what would be some potential deals that clubs would make.
For example what would Forestville or North want in exchange for a Hoban or Burdon?
Could Norwood offer Thompson and Krause in exchange for Hoban?
Or would North accept McKenzie and Daniel Kosmiders Expiring Contract (sorry Lloyd I couldn't resist) for Burdon?
What if Eastern held the "rights" to Brad Hill? Who could they get in return if he wants to go elsewhere?
