Rate the NBL benches 2018/19
On paper Perth has a very good bench but in reality will these players be able to come in and KEEP UP with the tempo of Adelaide + the faster pace that NZ and Cairns say they will run.
In my opinion Perth doesn't have pacey players on the bench like a Mason Bragg type that looked visibly quicker out there than pretty much everyone on the court.
Really looking forward to seeing how Illawarra and their bench play as they are a great mix of veterans and unknown rookies

Melbourne don't have any local spots left. Therefore Dan dillon won't be back.
There lineup will be
Ware / Hooley
Goulding /
McCarron / Moller/ Barlow
Prather / Trist / Smith Milner
Boone / Pledger

Dillon will be Uniteds back up pg.
He was on the LTI last season got injured in pre season. United will have to see consistent scoring out of Hooley and Moller which is hot and cold.
Illawarras bench could catch teams by surprise if Andersen can last.

Melbourne still looking good, Pledger still good Barlow playing very well after a couple injury years and Moller must be close to starting depending on imports.

Perth by far IMO.
They have 3 guys who are starter-quality in the league - Norton, Wagstaff, Jervis. Plus another who has started before in the league (Steindl).


I can only hope Barbosa was a joke? Kings need backup Centre and backup SF
