Awaiting NBL approval at the moment, any ideas on who this is?

Daniel Eade seems to think it is Kevin Braswell. Very good signing if true IMO
Kevin Brasswell as a import or naturalised kiwi? smart signing imo even if a import as it seems he will be naturalised soon so could open up another import spot for a big guy in the near future.
Does this mean the 36ers are a chance for Gibson still? as rumours were Adelaide or Melbourne, and Anstey pretty much confirmed its not Gibson on twitter, hopefully he comes to the 36ers!

Braswell is a naturalised Kiwi. So's a "local"
cool.
So Tigers going for
C IMPORT/Burston
PF Ballinger/Walker
SF Rush/Greer
SG Dorsey/Lewis
PG Brasswell/Tomlinson
Looks ok to me especially if they get the right import.
Where does this leave the Wortho rumour, he going to be the 'import' big and share the starting front court spots with Ballinger?
Could work given the NBL isnt a huge league.
Dorsey will be under the pump after last season. No true shooting guard and the 2nd import needs to be strong for them to do good.

'Apples' Braswell! LOL, good luck getting the ball down the court with that roster!
Braswell tweeted today that he hasn't signed with anyone.
Has he tweeted that he's actually a kiwi yet?
Kevin Smith wants to know.

Breakers are only chasing Cedric Jacksons signature at this stage

Sorry,
I dont see how this line up will be contenders, Dorsey will be relied on heavily to be a consistant scorer which unfortunately he isn't.
It is a line up of 2nd tier NBL ballers.
Maybe I am wrong and come together as a good squad and share the load but I doubt it, they don't have a clear leader to run this team and win a ring....
Ballinger
Worthington
Rush
Dorsey
Braswell
Burston
Walker
Greer
Lewis
Tomlinson
A lot of talent there and will be a good team if Braswell and Tomlinson perform.
Tomlinson distributes the ball.. That right there will help the tigers

Braswell instantly made the Breakers better and they only just fell short of the play offs once he joined the squad and they went on to win with him the following season and he was named 6th man.

Was in Mildura on the weekend to catch up with family and watched Mildura Heat vs Cambelwell Dragons Big V-D1 (Chris Ansty), Mildura coached by former Adelaide boy James Madigan (They call him Mad-Dog up there)-Ansty approched Madigan after the game and asked if he could speak to import PG Kris Clark and have found out he his going to Melbourne to try- out very soon. Interesting!!!

Clark doesnt have what you would call the prototype PG body though http://www.clarkflex.com/
