the other way of looking at this is that last year everybody complained when mike Kelly brought in a load of has-beens rather than young talent. if they can get back to developing young talent again it might set them up for future years when they're recruiting. we may be shit but at least you're gonna get minutes.

Cairns first game against kings, they surprised bullets last year in opening fixture, you never know. Kings preseason a little short due to coach and Bogut being with the Australian squad.

Yes.


Noi is a 3 now.

Didn’t Noi play the 4 spot in college, I suppose a lot four is just another wing but it’s a big ask to start in the 3 in the nbl. White, Prather even Newley must be thinking how good is this. On the other side of coin though he has said he’s going to be as good as Inglis when he came into the league.

They need a top level sg and top level ns guy to even make things interesting.
The backup unit is barely nbl1 level.
Starters
Machado, ?(Import-SG), Noi, Oliver, Jawai
Bench
Kenny, Djeric, ?(NS-SF), Deng, ?(Acuil)
Limited minutes
Fisher, Krslovic, Blagojevic
(DP-Dufelmeier, Mayen)?

^^^
Blagojevic is a four and there going to make a three, we could all look like fools but not making a lot sense some of the selections, there hardly six deep.

Jurlina has had two very good years up there and still misses out, not certain what’s happening up there. Djeric has played point in Serbia the last few seasons and now he’s a two guard, Jurlina was a natural two- three and can defend. Interesting season ahead for Cairns, the imports and Jawai will really have to play well.


A struggling franchise and the roster goes maybe 4-5 deep at best. Last place and kelly will lose his job.

Have there been many successful conversions from a PF into a SF? I thought it typically went the other way?

He’s a four that the article says they are going to make into a three, good luck with all that. Cairns had better have some great imports or that side will struggle, qbl players.

Does anyone know if there are tickets available to attend this? If so, does anyone know where they are found?
