Already looking at the culture and players for United Vickerman is at the helm already.
Talk already of Adnam being promoted, why I don't know.
3 local spots to be filled and he's hoping to retain the current 2 Assts.

Why isn't Nate Tomlinson working on his game in a local state league ? Surely he should be playing for a Melbourne seabl club.. his game needs work. Or is he happy to be pushed out of the league
Tomlinson is in Colorado with his wife and daughter
Interesting article. Hadn't really considered the effect the expanded rosters will have on international leagues. An extra few roster spots for d league players may increase the number of players looking to move up through the d league.
Great point about Tomlinson. Guy acts as if he is an elite player but he is a scrub who should be toiling in state league to improve his defencies. Surely he is outed soon.

Heard rumour that Tomlinson could end up at Mckinnon after he finishes his holiday, only a 2nd hand rumour
I always respect someone that talks about someone's defencies. Surely you have spell check and a brain?
A spelling mistake doesn't invalidate the point being made.
So the point being is exactly what? Spell it out
Tommo is a floor general and isn't in the category of a Cotton etc nor money being paid. Hell Kyle Adnam is going to be promoted according to Vickerman. No way I would want a flash in the pan player like Adnam over Tomlinson. Adnam cant defend jack shit at NBL level let alone seabl level. A streaky 3 point shooter at best.
Tomlinson has a great college pedigree and Adnam is now on his 3rd? NBL club.

Can understand Adnam moving up over Tomlinson. Youth, coachable, and is a pass first point. There is potential for more to come from him, although it'd obvious an experienced and reliable starting point is always required in Melbourne.
Fingers crossed for the return of Boone even more so than Ware. Humble and expressed his enjoyment in the league. Ware still has NBA aspirations and can seem a little cocky, but would have him back for familiarity and also as he's shown to be ice cold when it matters.
Existed about Vickerman's movements already. Cannot wait for next season.

Tomlinson is straight trash. I always hate when he's on the floor as I'm just waiting for his airball 3s flashy passes to be turned over and for him to throw his hands up like the Monstar Squad stole his powers. Time to send him back to the Maccas drive thru, visor cap and all.
Don't think McD's would accept all of those dreadul tatts.
Also the anon above defending him - hi Billy T!
Yeah good thing Boone doesn't have that terrible tats issue.
Boone, unlike Tomlinson, will be in the game for far longer. No McD's for him.

I'm not Billy Tomlinson, so I'll put a plug in for Nate.
I can't seem to understand all the hate?
He's a team player, controls the tempo, solid on D, talks, & makes those around him better. As a back up PG he's a pretty good dam deal.
