Official NBL 2014/15 Season Thread

I wonder who the Cats will sign as there last spot. I heard Luke Martin was training with the team i wouldn't mind U'U back if we can reduce his points down

Both of them would need their points reduced by 1. It will be interesting to see who is signed.

I can't wait until the season starts!

Adelaide has signed Tom Daly as their final player.

Perth has released Mathiang Muo, so now have 2 spots to fill.

any news Dave on who they want the wildcats that is? I heard something about Hugh Greenwood ?

 

[BruzDB]

I have no idea mate. I havent heard the Hugh Greenwood rumour. That would be awesome but I doubt it will happen.

Yeah very strange for the Wildcats to do that so close to the season

 

[BruzDB]

They surely must have another player lined up. I doubt they would releae someone so close to the season without having someone else ready to sign. Very interesting!

There is rumours this afternoon that the Melbourne Tigers will be changing their name. 1 report suggested they will now be called Melbourne United. Apparently more news to come tomorrow.

Edit: here's one story already - http://www.theage.com.au/sport/basketball/melbourne-tigers-change-name-to-united-20140519-38jxh.html

I think this season will be great and i would go out on a limb and say this season will have the best imports we have ever had here in Aus!

Childress
Gladness
Daniels
Mcrae
Ervin
Carson
Jackson
Ross
Beal

Etc...

Crazy!

 

[BruzDB]

Yeah I agree Jay. Awesome crop of imports this season!

I can't wait for the season to start!

 

[BruzDB]

Got bored, so here's a few facts about this year's group of imports.....

Imports by primary position:
PG: 6
SG: 3
SF: 3
PF: 2
C: 2

NZ is the only team who has an import who is not expected to be in their starting 5 (Ekene Ibekwe)

Imports with NBA experience: 3 (Cedric Jackson, Josh Childress, Mickell Gladness)

Imports drafted by NBA teams: 3 (Jordan McRae, Deandre Daniels, Josh Childress)

Imports who played NBL last season: 4 (Jamar Wilson, Jermaine Beal, Brian Conklin, Gary Ervin) (plus Cedric Jackson who is returning after 1 season out of the NBL)

 

[IfIcouldbelikeChauncey]

I can't believe that the announcement by the NBL CEO that Brisbane will have a team back in the NBL next season doesn't get a mention on the leagues' website! Will ONEHD still be broadcasting games?

[GarnettFan4Life]

Hawks signed Luke Nevill - nice finally some decent size at C

 

[BruzDB]

That will certainly help! If I was Gordie, I would sit Davidson out for the whole season and keep Luke Nevill.
