How high is Craig Moller's ceiling?

Not sure what he can deliver. NBL form is flukey. When I see him in SEABL I will post.

Spot on @midrange!

@SteveK2 Bryson...... LOL

Kerron Johnson actually wasn't too bad. That Breakers stint was his first professional gig and had too much expectation placed on him stepping into Cedric's shoes. He got better near the end of the season, but by then the damage was done. There were certainly worse imports than him. Bryson? Christopherson?

I'm assuming he will be playing as the backup SF now that we have returned our bigs.

Will balance our team out with inside scoring which will be much appreciatied. Also cover a potential Andersen body break down.

What actually happened to him @lovebroker?

I wasn't paying much attention to the NBL back then.

His ceiling is the roof!

"Vickerman knows how to pick a man!"

I see....you mean like Kerron Johnson?

Good article, who knows how far this kid can go, don't think he's been back playing basketball for that long. I don't think Vickerman would of chased him if they didn't see up side and Gazey was very disappointed to loose him.

I wish I had 10ft' ceilings?! : )

Red hot because they'll have Goulding + Ware or some other highly paid similar style import guard.

Vickerman knows how to pick a man! : )

Most likely 8 feet, or maybe 10 feet if it's an older house.

In saying that, I've lived in 2 nice houses with cathedral ceilings. That would be a variable ceiling.

Can you please explain how UTD's backcourt as it is right now is 'red hot'?

Yes I will be putting money on Mollar for NBL MIP. Problem is do bookies have MIP market or just for MVP? From memory only MVP has a market ;/

Jai Bednall writing in the Sunday Mail has outlined his thoughts on the 36ers off-season to come.

Main thrust seems to be to add Gibson this year, then another top free agent next year.

Adelaide should stay committed to its three-year plan by adding one quality starter this season and then another for 2013/14.

I do think one FA and better import picks could be enough, but why stop there? Newley is raised as a target, so why not aim for that level of FA this coming season rather than next?

His keepers:

Ballinger: "Clearly the team's best player, which says a lot. Must eventually become the second or third option on offence."
Carter: toss up with Bruce, but slight edge.
Creek
Daly: as a development player.
Herbert
Hill: "Would ideally be an offensive sparkplug off the bench in a title contender. Had an up-and-down season."
Holmes: "Was the team's best rebounder and on-court leader. Another who should shift to the bench next season."
Johnson: "Blossomed late in Ballinger's absence. A potential go-to guy on offence with a little more work."
Ng

Proposed farewells:

Bruce: crowded backcourt.
Dowdell: good option, but hard to keep him AND Holmes unless no other backup Cs.
Shannon: we need more.

Jai's roster keeps eight (plus Daly as DP) and adds Gibson, so would force someone to 11th man or means one import. I just can't see how keeping Hill, Ng, Herbert and Creek can work - none of them should be playing PG or PF so two are forced to start at SG and SF and I don't think it makes for a strong enough setup. Creek has to be in that bench SF role, we can start one of the others (say Herbert), but I don't see room for Ng and Hill.
