Are the Boomers in trouble in the future?

^You don't know what your talking about... sorry

Landale is way more athletic than Humphries, more mobile, better hands, and a better shooter.
Not sure if youve been watching the games this year..

And jois is 6'8 230.

Oh don't forget about Venky Jois as well. NBL heavyweights were chasing after his signature but he wanted the higher NBA exposure of the euro league.

Its still possible Bogut and Baynes will contribute in 2019-20, but yes they will need some support. It's all going to depend on the development of Simmons, Maker and Exum and their availability for the Boomers. If those three are successful, then we can get away with just solid international bigs like Bairstow and perhaps Ogilvy and Humphries. I will be interested to see how Majok Deng is looking in 3 years as well. He has a lot of ability and should have gained the physique and experience by then to be a chance for the Boomers. Majok Majok and Matty Hodgson could also develop into players that could fill a role.

Overall though, when we could potentially put out a starting five of Maker, Simmons, Ingles, Exum and Delly and bring Mills, Bogut, Baynes, Broekhoff, Bairstow and Motum off the bench, I'd say the odds are we are in good shape in 2019-20!

Plenty of talented bigs around, you are forgetting Bairstow too.

I think a lot depends on how Simmons develops on the D end to guard the 4 spot. There is no doubt on offence that he can play positions 1-4 but if he can only guard the 3 on D and we have to find 2 bigs to play with him then it could present it's difficulties. If Simmons guards the international 4 man well then we'll be fine with 1 of Landale or Humphries at the 5 moving forward.

It may be old news ...but according to Manila Bulletin and several other news sites it looks like Freeman has been cut...

" PH Patriots management announced on Friday that former import, Gabe Freeman, will be back to further boost their title-retention bid in the AirAsia ASEAN Basketball League Season 2.

Freeman, according to team manager Erick Arejola, is arriving next week in time for their game against the Singapore Slingers on December 18 at the Ynares Sports Arena."
