    Tankathon currently has us taking Alex Toohey in the 2nd round (pick 40 overall).

    He has moved up to be the 3rd rated prospect in this bunch I mentioned.

    If all of Toohey, Trenton Flowers and Hukporti are available with our 2nd rounders, they are well worth a look.
    Toohey and Flowers as long wings with great shooting.
    Hukporti as that bouncy rim rolling big.

    Put them all on 2ways!

    I know Ime probably doesn't want to see any more rookies until we consolidate much of what we have now. I'm betting he'd rather get some vets in some spots.

    I'd agree with you there!!

    But (and correct me if I'm wrong), 2nd rounders can be signed to the three 2way contracts, and therefore not count towards the teams roster?
    I realise this comes with its own drawbacks in terms of longevity though....

    Good stretch of games for him, defense looks good too.

    Highlights only show his good plays. Now show me his bad plays. Don't make me show you Daishen Nix highlights. :D
    I think Anthony Lamb is the 2nd leading scorer in the NBL, and Matthew Dellavadova is near the top in assists - that kind of stuff scares me to death. lol.

    But, who knows - maybe this kid'll turn out great. *shrug*

    Sarr projecting #1 in multiple mocks now

    NBL next program projecting to have its highest ever draft pick, and most number of players drafted in 2024.

    Rubstavicius should be thought of in the context of being a late 1st or a 2nd round pick. He could become a good value pick in that zone as a potential role player. I mean I hope he can one day become a rotation player in the NBA. He's not a lottery pick talent though.

    I like how instead of reacting to Holland, you can clearly see he's anticipating his every move in advance and moves accordingly.

    I love that AJ Johnson could be playing 25+MPG at UT but is instead playing 8 MPG in some ****off Aussie League

    How's Ron Holland also doing, you ask? He's only lost a couple of million dollars by doing this G-Ignite crap.
