Will Magnay signs 3 year deal with Bullets

DJ Rod, do you see him as a future possible Australian Boomer?

Does he have that kind of potential?

6'10" (208cm) and 235lbs (106kgs). He's a big body, and should help Brisbane's forward stocks in the short term, with Jervis carrying a finger injury and Young out with glandular fever.
He signed a three year deal the first as a DP, then will move to the full roster.
To replace Peach?

Left college a few years early to sign this deal so either they were big on him or he was homesick and looking for an option in Australia.

Thanks DJ Rod, yes I wasn't sure but I know it was just a freak accident, he was a huge kid in a young body, he will be a very strong young man and obviously the family is very talented.

So many great stories out there of kids who come back from serious injury, adversity and coaches that give up on them to make good with determination and high character, which he must have in spades.

He was touted as a promising junior a few years ago, big body and very strong, I saw him at 2015 u/18 Nationals I think it was, he slipped and lost his balance going for a lay up and did his knee right in front of me the poor kid.

Since then he has had a US College scholarship offer at Tulsa and had some time at the AIS, but I don't know much of the details there.

It's great for him and I wish the kid luck, if his body holds up he will be a decent power forward in the NBL, potentially.

Just thinking to myself about the NBL and if it should expand or not. Thought i would throw it on here to see what other people thought.

I am a strong believer that the NBL will collapse if it expands past 11 or 12 teams as Australian Basketball just doesnt have the support for this to happen.

I think that an 11 team league conisting of Adelaide, New Zealand, Perth, Townsville, Cairns, Gold Coast, Sydney, Wollongong and Melbourne plus an additional Melbourne or Victorian Team and a Brisbane team would be the perfect number. If a twelth team must be included to even out the numbers possibly a second New Zealand Team could be included if the crowd numbers keep increasing.

If the league goes past twelve teams i can see a watered down talent pool filled with Semi Professional Players at best filling the lower ends of the Rosters and being back where the league was in 2008/9. This will then lead to teams shutting down and the demise of the NBL.
