I'll take a pass on Tokoto thanks. Didn't like much of what I saw from him last season.

That would be a nice lineup

Teys?
Doubt they would have three imports and Motum.

Trice has both summer league & training camp invites from the Bucks too so I would imagine he probably won't be signing anywhere until after October.

Tokoto placed 5th in the MVP voting, not a bad effort considering Cotton would have stolen most of the votes.

He was good from mid-range, but yes if you want your SF to be a solid contributor to your perimeter shooting, then he's not it.

I liked what he brought, but understand Gleeson wants somebody more like Walker.
Still, the league seems to be able to attract some very good quality import SFs. Chill, Conger, Prather, Craig.
Perhaps these are mostly guys who just a bit small to play that role in the bigger European leagues, although of course Chill was ex-NBA.
Anyway, should be able to find somebody decent.

To the very uneducated Anon who claims those imports are too expensive... the Sixers owner Kelley is a multi-millionaire who is hell bent on getting them a championship. Do you think Sobey came cheap? What about DJ? Even Childress last year cost them bigtime... This team has the money to easily pull that lineup. No they don't have the money of Sydney or Melbourne, but they have the cash to go over the softcap....easily. They'll easily spend 1.5 or more on the team this year.

Tokoto does not need to be defended until the ft line, really was a liability by the end. I am sure 36ers know thi and won't sign him. He got his mvp votes early, no doubt

Locke, lower your expectations a long long way

Motum was the highest paid player in Lithunia, was on AUD400k per season- so what, Motum is going to come here for less and you think you will get Trice, who is fringe nba level and would command big Euro dollars and add Tokoto?? Lol... ok

Doyle,Moore,Drmic,Deng & Froling?

That bench is getting smacked!

Can't see the starters being anywhere near as good as OP suggests, but if you're running an eight-player rotation for crucial passages, then Moore, Drmic and Deng are fine.

The bench last year was basically that plus Hodgson and Teys in for Froling and McVeigh. And Hodgson didn't do much and Teys played 8 MPG. Yet they were a solid team.

Creek is the real loss though.

36ers back to the pack for mine. Unless they can replace Creek with a Motum type (highly unlikely) and/or spend on 2 stud imports (again, highly unlikely).

Cash is probably the issue

Is Sobey really PG material? I wouldn't be comfortable with him as the 'go to' player in that role, based on what I have seen in recent years. Lack of ball security when dribbling, particularly under close defensive pressure, and I'd question his passing ability. Seems to put the ball in the opposition's hands too frequently for me.

Of course, if he has been working conscientiously on addressing those issues over the NBL off-season things could be different this year, I suspect that might not be the case.

Anon #692262 rumour has it the 36ers are going to go with 2 imports...1 of which is Ramone Moore.

It has also been well rumoured since early in the off season that Sobey and Moore will share PG duties.

What this means is the 36ers are a solid player short on last years team.

Anon...I think they always planned on Creek leaving - that was loosely communicated in the latter part of the season and early pre-season.

Am I the only one who thinks Creek would go to another NBL team if he ever came back to NBL?

I'd say it's a likely scenario - perhaps Perth
