I'm not one to get carried away but the way this guy plays, he should fit in nicely. If he defends at an elite level and shoots at an elite level then it's over. In saying that, what has he been doing since getting cut by Washington? Wonder what his conditioning is like

"and may have issues picking up half-court plays quickly." ='s Athletic but a dumb Basketball IQ.

Not sure how Felix will turn out but what I heard from some knowledgeable folks are that he has significant offensive deficiencies for what United is currently running and may have issues picking up half-court plays quickly.

Even defensively, they reckon he may struggle with the physicality and 'speed' of the NBL, which doesn't sound too good for what he's being recruited for. They reckon United will be anxiously hoping Prather can come back in good shape and ahead of time.

He's signed as an injury replacement, so when Prather is healthy, it's bye-bye.
But who's to say when he's healthy?

Probably. He's under contract to them as long as they're still paying his contract what difference does it make if he's on the roster or not? Perth did that with Jaron Johnson last season.

Plus who says he will be healthy? The injury is considered at best 8 weeks but quite possibly season ending. Melb could say he's no good to come back, whilst still paying him and tell him to go spend some time in Tahiti. Who's going to protest that? Prather?

I guess my question is:

Would United be within its rights to keep a healthy Prather if Felix plays for them for the remainder of the season, playoffs included?

Why would they be forced to release Prather?

They could be forced to let Prather go, and he could sign with a rival club. Same goes with Felix actually. A rival may snap him up on the eve of playoffs for example

I don't know, but my question is whether Melbourne would be considered to have four imports if Prather is deemed fit to play and Felix stays. Because I want Felix to stay!

Satisfaction that one of their players might achieve something in the finals?

What would Melbourne get out of letting Prather go elsewhere in the league?

What is the rule regarding the 25 per cent? Is it 25 per cent of NBL played, or is it 25 per cent with one specific team.

Because I just had some crazy Prather theories rattle around in the ol' noggin. And it worries me if I'm a United fan.

Personally i think that Perth need to upgrade Cooke and Adelaide and Cairns could do with better point guards.
