Heck of a starting 5.
Always liked Holt at St Mary's. Will be good to see what he can do here.

I still reckon they should have basically kept the core of the Tigers team that made the semis against the 36ers a couple of seasons ago.

Taking out say Wortho, Corletto

A team of

Holt or Dennis/Tomlinson
Goulding/Odigie
Blanchfield/Walker
Kickert/Barlow
Morrison or similar/Patton

Looks a little better rounded, Morrison gives them that big body under the rim that they have lacked the last year and dont seem to have with Conklin filling the import spot, even though Conklin is the better individual player.

There is also only 1 ball, so may be better to have the roll playing import big with genuine size who will play under the rim and work hard at both ends.

Some times teams go too crazy stacking talent together and miss those important factors imo, last year for Melbourne was an example of this, they should have just bought the Tigers guys back, added Barlow and/or Kickert for Goulding and whoever,

Could have had a team of say

Dennis/Tomlinson
Corletto/??
Barlow/Odigie
Worthington/Walker
Morrison/MacMillan

would have been a playoff team imo, as is very similar to the previous playoff team, less star studded but better rounded.

Great starting 5, I still reckon they could have similar issues to last year with rim protection though, Conklin is of similar size to Wortho and is he a huge upgrade to Wortho in this area?

Goulding - don't know, probably 9 or 10
Holt - don't know, probably 9 or 10

Imports are a 10 by default, Aussies returning from Europe are a 9 by default.

Not sure whether that applies to Goulding given he played NBL only two years ago, though.

Word is that Gibson, Creek and Sobey to be soon announced as 36ers signings.

Also, Mitch McCarron's partner in crime at Metro State, Nicholas Kay, is set to ink a deal with Townsville.
