Mirko is retained from last season. Maynard has moved over from Cairns.
As per a couple of sources on Twitter.
Crocs have one roster spot left.

norton Maynard
(Import) Djeric
Steindl Henry
Conklin Young
Schensch Kay
So an import 2/3 remaining with Steindl to start at two or 3. Very young backcourt, but exciting to see Dennis building a talented young team. Will definately need an import guard who can be a good scorer and create their own shot imo.
I'm excited to see the bigs play in this Crocs team, the most depth we have had for a long time.

Well done those two, but a shame not to see Mitch McCarron in this line-up.

The average age of that team is 24.6 years and 21 without Luke Schenscher.
Import guard needs to be a gun. Young team will struggle but have no money. Dennis a good coach who will have them playing hard.

Mckenzie moore could be the perfect fit for this team if the rumours are true. Good length, can create his own shot and seems like a good finisher.

Here's a tip, might not be an import in last position. Maybe a talented Australian guard who's deciding whether to go to europe or stay? Mekenzie Moore second option.

That would be courageous.
Kay/Schenscher
Conklin/Young
Steindl/Henry
McCarron/Djeric
Norton/Maynard
Young, young, young! But talented. Would be inconsistent but fun to watch when firing.

So I guess this spells the end of Jacob Holmes career in the NBL?

Love to see a team have a crack with a young line up like this, even if it is more through necessity than plan.
Worst case, you could add an import (even a SEABL level one or not much more) at some point to the mix at the biggest area or weakness. I'm guessing that team would be nowhere near the points cap so they'd be able to add an import as an 11th player.

Anon - those average ages can;t be right. Schenscher would have to be 53 years old!
9 players @ 24.6 = 221 years
8 players @ 21 = 168 years
Maynard played well in the recent uni games -
Moore would be a really good pickup at guard - crocs need someone who can create off the dribble to get those shooters open - also a really good defender and shot blocker in those nz highlights

must be that points cap stopping him from getting a gig......
