AFL: AFL players that used to be b-ballers

I'm pulling together my AFL Fantasy team this year picking only those players who were basketballers.

There are a few obvious names that come to mind:

Dean Brogan - Power - 36ers
Scott Pendlebury - Pies - AIS
Kurt Tippett - Crows - QLD state
Jarred Redden - Power - SAC state
Danyle Pearce - Power - South Adel / Southern Tigers

but i'm concerned i'll struggle to fill the 30 odd required possie's.

Could you all help me out by listing any other AFL players you know of who played decent level basketball. State teams would be obviously good, but even if they just tore up at district level, ie Danyle Pearce.

On the topic, if you had to put together a starting line-up for a Basketball game, who would be in?

C - Aaron Sandilands
PF - Kurt Tippett
SF - Dean Brogan
SG - Scott Pendlebury
PG - Danyle Pearce

I struggled to name the 2 bigs, so put Sandilands in for a bit of a laugh. Anyone know if he's played before? Luke McEntee from the Hawks used to be pretty decent back here, he could possibly take Sandi's place.
