With a fit and firing Alex Pledger, I think United will be fine but the question I ask is would they go twin towers and have Boone and the Pledgehammer playing together on court at the same time?

At worst, Vickerman has so many options so I think it will be a fun season ahead for him.

Would anyone have Bubbles coming off the bench behind McCarron?

Yeah not completely sold on Smith Millner yet. He provided a few good hustle minutes towards the end of last year but whether he's ready for 20 mins a game im not sure.

Wesley could be a much bigger blow than we think. He was the catalyst for the mid season serge last year and he's passing out of the post freed up plenty of 3's.

We havnt replaced him and will need to tweak our game style to probably more run and gun without an inside option.

Good as long as the shots are dropping...

Melbourne looks absolutely stacked from 1-3, but a bit light on in the frontcourt.

Moller can defend and rebound well enough to play at the 4, but the lack of low post options in this team is a worry- unless Trist is better than people seem to think?

Barlow far superior to Trist, Moller just played the whole seabl season as a four, could play three and four, looks like great team and coach is top shelf.

@paul - another signing?!

Gee whiz, I thought picking up Patterson was already impressive. Melbourne are going to be stacked !!

What's McCarron on? $400K?

MU may be looking at Lamar Patterson to give some offence off the bench.

I doubt with what theyre paying Mc Carron and the fact he left for a bigger role that he would be coming off the bench.

BTW Patterson is playing the Chinese 2nd league which someone averaged 60 points in last year, so the NBL will be a big step up.

Yeah I'm not sure McCarron leaves Cairns and other offers on the table to come to Melbourne to come off the bench. I think you can pencil him as a starter likely at SF.

Hogwash, your count is already at 11, counting Patterson, where's that other local spot fitting in?

It seems being named in the 1st team would imply top 5 in the NBL?

Love rehashing an old argument.....
