Well first, I'd doubt that Newley will be in the NBL next year, he'll probably get drafted and if not I'm sure there will be plenty of money waiting for him in Europe.

Unless Farley can average 25ppg, then I think it's time to bring in a new import. I would love to see a true three-man as our import.

I agree with getting rid of Copeland, maybe Nash, I think that Mark can contribute well if he was given a lesser role, maybe coming off the bench for 10-15 mins a game.

I would like to see Hill start at the two, I think he could really shine there, getting to the line alot and hopefully knocking down jumpers.

I would have a team like this:
C - Wheeler
F - Horvath
F - (Import)
G - Hill
G - Maher
Ng
Majstro
Nash
Cooper
Sutton

i agree with 24, also does anyone know when aaron olson and peter crawford become free-agents, neither is getting the minutes they deserve and both would slot into the sixers starting5 nicely, if i was a guy as talented as olson or PC i'd wanna go to a place where i'm at least a starter straight away

next year:
C-??? (i dont think cooper or wheeler are starting materiel, geordie cullen would be nice here)
PF-Horvath (more effective at PF than C)
SF-??? (Cullen/Crawford/Olson/Ingles)
SG-Farley (i think he will bounce back from a slow start and finish the year at about 21ppg, which should justify another year, if not, an import F like powell would be veeeeery nice.)
PG- Maher (of course -best PG in the nbl)
bench:(in order of minutes)
Ng
Majstro
Cooper
Hill
Nash(defense)
Wheeler
Sutton (development player)

heres mine

for of all i think its time that Symthe moves on as i feel that hes not the right person for the job anymore.

STARTING 5

C:Luke Shenshk( hes an adelaide boy and i might not get an nba contract.

PF:new import( i rekon we go for someone new like carlos powell no disrespect to Horvath)

SF:Bouncher( excellent defender and doesnt need to score that much to be effective)

SG: new import( some who is a scoring machine and can keep players like Cortez groves down)

PG:Brett(hes there as the leader the captain and to keep the team together with ruduced court time and salary)

BENCH

C: Cooper( hes there for defense and to grab boards)

PF: Cullen( there for boards and for a little spark of scoring off the bench.

SF: Mastro ( there to score and help out on boards)

SG: Hill( there to help control the game when Maher is not in. also to score and dish)

PG: Sutton( comes into the game when winning not really part of the 9 man rotation ive got in mind)

I reckon bring in Scotty has the new head coach.

just my thoughts

wolly - schenscher would be fantastic but i wouldnt ditch monsta and where the hell are Ng and Hill, surely you wouldnt have sutton as the backup PG if those two are available.

How about we wait fo the 4-6 week waiting period is over before starting on about NEXT season? Only feels like yesterday I was reading 3000 threads about potential rosters for THIS season.

the only reason why i drop Horvath was because him and Shenscher are to simila. we only have space for 1 big white guy lol. but seriously if we got shenscher as our centre our would rather a young explosive PF who can put on a show and still get the job done. Horvath gets the job done but theres plenty more exciting players than him.

Hill is on my list as a back up SG and i didnt pick ng as he wouldnt be fully commited to the team with all his studys. also i thought we would need more of a pure point gaurd like sutton. because if we had that team we wouldnt need Ng scoring because uve got heaps scoring options anyway.

Olson is having a dodgy season in NZ so far it seems, and I reckon Crawford is too unpredictable. Best bet is to load up on two quality imports in positions that are hard to fill with Australians. Then go after one of the young Kings that deserves more minutes (Luke Martin is doing well up North for example). Try and poach a young prospect like Vukona from NZ or Brown from Perth and keep the best performing roleplayers from the current side.

sorry wolly i didn't see hill ther, i was looking at PG.

And isaac i know olson's having a dodgy season thats why i want him coz he might wanna get outta NZ and go to a team where he's an automatic starter.
with so many teams playin small-ball these days i think we could get away with playin him at SF easy.

what the hell are you talking about! Ng is a fantastic backup PG and Hill has been spending 95% of his time at SG this year
