I think Corletto was asked to attend a camp while the playoffs were on and couldnt for obvious reasons. That probably killed any chance he might have had.

Having watched Andrew Sullivan from the Leicester Riders live this season, would be very surprised if he makes the team. He would have struggled to get into Norwood's starting lineup last season.

Leven has retired from serious Basketball, now raising a family and doing the 9 to 5er.
Paul Sturgess (7 foot 8 globetrotter) actually has very little basketball talent. No way is he up to this teams standard.
