Breakers: Import Roulette

The NZ Breakers, having broken their 11-game losing streak with a home win over Wollongong, have a tough choice ahead. With three imports now injury-free, one must get the boot.

Brant Bailey: 18.3 PPG @ 41%, 6.1 RPG, 1.9 APG.
Rich Melzer: 14.0 PPG @
40%, 5.5 RPG, 1.9 APG.
Brian Green: 14.0 PPG @ 40%, 3.2 RPG, 2 APG.

Who goes? Green is averaging 22 PPG over the last two games after not getting much of a run in his first two games.

Well if it was me....
Just going on thise stats i would probably get rid of Brian Green. Only because Melzer is averaging(?) more rebounds

I reckon they will cut Bailey, he's the least logical one to cut.

Bailey was pretty turnover prone. Are they expecting Majstrovich back anytime soon as that would have impacted the decision.

They have no chance of making the finals so they probably axed the most expensive of the three you would think!

I guess he's out of the All Star game then ?

The Hunter Pirates should sign Brant Bailey.

I thought he had already withdrew from the All-Star game (due to injury) and thus Tucker was taking his place.

They have to keep Melzer, he has massive hops. He should be in the dunk contest.

The imports arent the problem, its that guard Hanare? who runs around with the ball in his hands like a headless chook. Surely NZ could find a better point guard than him.
