"Definitely we think we picked up a pretty good player," Fearne said.
"Obviously a few years ago when he played in New Zealand he put up pretty impressive numbers (18.6 points, 7.4 rebounds per game).

They're planning a three-man frontcourt rotation of Melzer, Rychart and Crosswhite and Fearne talks of signing one remaining Australian player.
Not sure if that means that trial PG Skip Mills is out of the equation or already signed? I imagine that Joe Werner is out of consideration. Not sure what happened to the Graeme Dann rumours.
If they go with Mills:
Mills/Williams
Jones/Vale
Grabau/Boodnikoff
Melzer/Rychart
Crosswhite/Smith? (who is training with them)
