NBL 2018/19 Championship Odds

Why does everyone keep referencing Perth's spare import spot? They're unlikely to use it, unless they get hit with a major injury to create a roster spot, or unless they're really struggling. In either of those cases that would be a dent to their title chances to start with before using the third spot.

Agree that 3-5 are the value bets.

NZ are hard to guage but they have plenty going for them:

- Proven NBL experience (Webster, Abercrombie, Wesley)
- Imports who look quality on paper
Depth

Adelaide and Perth have solid Aussie groups and proven coaches. Adelaide has recent history of bringing in quality imports mid season (Randle, Childress) too.

Just reading about the Boomers playing Greece and I wondered if Greece had actually qualified.

Stumbled on to this website.

Seems like a fair draw for NZ too possibly facing Greece for a spot at the Olympics and then another chance if they lose.

Also I reckon it can't be a bad thing playing so many games close to the actual games. The perfect preparation I would have thought
