Melbourne United signs ex-NBA player Hakim Warrick

But they have a ton of talent in Kickert, Goulding, Blanchfield and Warrick.
NZ haven't had their whole team on the court yet either and will be taking two development players to the blitz to make up numbers and I'm sure other teams have had niggles keeping players from training and playing pre-season.
Some guys aren't probably match fit either and will improve as their fitness improves (looks at Nate J).

There is certainly some talent going around.

Ego's and chemistry will have a big say in how United's season pans out but they have the horses to challenge any of the other contenders who will be battling the same issues trying to work in new players.

Generally speaking, too much zone in the NBL to run effective P&Rs... Might be a problem to play that against Melb next season though, Hawks too.

He's an athletic scorer - face-up, attacking the basket with his speed type, more than a back to the basket guy - who didn't do much else in the NBA, but figures to be a strong rebounder/shot blocker at this level too.

Regrettably released because Melbourne feared they weren't a top-4 team and needed a Childress-esque level import?

While there's been no official announcement, it does certainly seem like one of those "everyone knows it's coming it just has to be finalised" sort of things...

So now the conspiracy theories about why Ibekwe was "regrettably released" can start :)
