Can you make a viable team with remaining free agents?

^^ surely it is not that hard to use google to find the answers to you question?

Venky Jois - 25yo from Victoria, played in Vic Metro U18 & U20 teams. A SF/PF who won the Bob Staunton Medal in 2012 at the Aus U20 Junior Championships.

Venky played NCAA Div 1 at Eastern Washington, leaving with the programs most rebounds & blocks records, I think. Very athletic & loves to dunk and can do so at will. Had a try out with the NBA Spurs. Played last year in Estonia (Tartu Ulikool Rock), the current season in Croatia (Osijek) before being transferred/sold to a Japanese club (Shiga Lakestars). IMO NBL teams would think he is too small to play as a 4 and does not have a great 3 pt shot (some would say he has no 3pt shot at all), so he can't stretch teams offenses & is also not great from the charity stripe.

von Hofe 23yo also from Victoria. Played in Vic Metro U16, U18 & maybe U20 state teams. At NBL level he is a SG, but could play as a SF in SEABL. His strength is he is a catch & shoot 3 pt shooter. Represented Australia in FIBA U17 in 2012. Also played NCAA Div 1 at Eastern Washington (3yrs with Venky), leaving with the most 3 ptrs made in program history. Played last year with Dandenong in SEABL. This year - SEABL with Kilsyth and was a Development Player with Melbourne United in their Championship winning season.

Naar will replace Norton and Jois May replace Kay. Both solid options, and more money to spend on imports. Replace Foreman with Von Hofe and you’re good to go.

So is this an exercise in picking a team from available FAs, or am exercising in “proving” that the NBL can’t expand with expansion team/s having viable playing roster/s.

There are plenty of players who are on their final year of their contract this year to fuel expansion

So how will all these proposed teams recruit a side in another season when all the good players are by then locked into longer term contracts?

I think a decent team could be formed from the free agents as of right now with decent (mid tier, not super expensive) imports.

Trice / R Martin
Dillon / DKD
Perrin Buford / Barlow
Perry Ellis / Cody Ellis
Tom Jervis / Majok Majok

11th player would be Naar to offset Dillon and Martin's ages.

Majok Majok Most likely with NZ (typo)

One thing to consider are Rookies signing, and returnees from Europe. I think you will fin that Dan Trist will sign, Venky Jois will sign, Emmett Naar will sign.

Majok Majok will most likely be with Melb
Rhys Martin will sign with Illawarra
Mitch Young to retire i'm told
Cody Ellis will sign will Illawarra
Jervis Perth
Barlow Melb
Dillon maybe back to Euro deals
Felix VonHofe (Small market teams to look closely)
Emmanuel Malou (Small market teams to look closely)
Dexter, well that is in interesting one, as I haven't heard anything on his signing.
