Hoops

Possible Third Imports

is Jerome Randle finished in the nbl? On SEM Instagram there were asking fans if they wanted Jerome Randle

Mollers defence kept huskies alive, even on the last play. As for locals Vandenburg has actually performed quite well and is a genuine 7 foot, maybe likes stewie coaching. He’s a local that could maybe have some use in a good system.

Jerry Evans looked out of his depth a couple of seasons ago with the Taipans.

Surely Cairns pick up Jordair Jett?

Too many imports are playing for themselves (& their stats) in the NZNBL.

Is Tokoto on anyone's radar for a return or Mackay?

I think Egwu is a serviceable & potentially possible budget 3rd import option some teams may dabble & dice with the idea of too... At least he seems to play 'team first's ball.

Jones is classed as a local but not alot of local spots (other than Cairns) remain.

Any SBL guys good enough?

Jones is 33, maybe but can’t see it at this late stage. Recruiters are very savvy now days so the don’t only look at stats.

his not import but does Marcel jones have a chance to get a nbl contact

Bilups putting big numbers offensively, but today was getting owned by Jois at both ends till Jois got hurt in the second quarter and never returned. No way will he get an import spot. Not convinced Quartermen a chance either, got defended very well early till huskies got into foul trouble and then Bragg did a good job as well. Good league the nznbl but not the nbl.

I reckon there should be a free agents team at the NBL blitz? imports and free agents

Yes. Tim Quartermen deserves an NBL contract. He is currently dominating the NZNBL averaging 30 points. Jalen Billups is also putting up big numbers for the Huskies.

nznbl

Tim quartermen

Evans maybe a very slim possibility, the rest I doubt it.

Out of all the guys mentioned, Jerry Evans is probably the only guy who may pick up an NBL contract. Bozeman potentially but is a long shot.

Preseason Form: The 36ers have had a solid preseason on the court that Coach Clarke should be happy with but Adelaide’s best preseason form has been in their recruiting although you could be forgiven if you thought they were the Adelaide Blaze. Let’s face it, the team is stacked.....
