Predict the biggest surprise this NBL season

Referees to be cheered more than boo'd

Seriously I'm gonna go for something different and say Steindl to torch someone for a 22 point quarter and finish the game with 25 points still!

Kevin White to be considered a good buy as the Hawks seal a playoff spot thanks to his hustle

And lastly... Fans turn up for a kings game after the Kingdome is no more... I think that is less likely than people enjoying the referees

I'm not sure if he qualifies (help me out Hoop.comers) but Nathan Sobey to win Rookie of the Year or Most Improved (if his games for Cairns last season render him ineligible for ROY)

TBH I don't know how much losing Greenwood hurt Perth. Their biggest weakness is outside shooting, which also aligns with Greenwood's biggest weakness... He WAS a promising young player, but I don't know that Perth was ever the best fit.

Perth and New Zealand keep up recent form and make the 4.
Hawks and kings make the 4, on the back of continuity plus good recruiting.
Hawks break some sort of 3 pt shooting record with Forman, Lisch and Penny.
Big Nate has a big year.

Perth could make it if Cairns, NZ, and Wollongong aren't as good as expected. Which could happen.

Cairns are losing a quality import, so a lot rides on his replacement. NZ lost Ibekwe and there's a chance they may lose Webster (probably slim). Wollongong will probably be pretty woeful defensively, but figure to score about a zillion points a night, so maybe it won't matter.

Sadly I think it could be Perth to end its 29 year playoff streak.

Perth and Cairns are the big ? marks for me. I expect Cairns to be top 4, and Perth to be 5th or 6th, but at the same time I wouldn't be shocked if they both made the top-4.

Melbourne will retain the same lack of cohesiveness after spending all that time off season to build it up again.

At least 2, two coaches will not survive the full length of the season.
