Who is on the Lightning men's squad this year?

Another SBL post?

who cares if it another post- don't read it .
deena English to play for rockingham flames this season. bunbury get back kate fielding and tori duggan from college plus add a import post.
cougars going with 2 german girls I believe.

"cougars going with 2 german girls I believe."

How many cups?

Dena to Rockingham???????????????????????????

Who's the Slammers women import?

Whitcomb to tigers??

Who is on Lakeside men's team they haven't announced anything

Mostly the same minus Corey Martin. Two new imports.

Who are the imports? No Daniel Alexander?

Candace Williams isnt coming back and Doccy isnt playing

interesting that lakeside are going with another guard import - who are their talls other than ash grant. or is Mansfield going to play small ball.

Lakeside Women got smacked around last year in the Finals. They need to change a lot if they want a look in to anything. Lost Byrnes too.

Lakeside men have Krump and Morgan returning, add Andrew Ferguson from AIS, decent bench. If Seva sticks around then they have an above average point.

Lakeside women should be improved. Much better second import to go with theMVP and Ash Grant and recruited a good Aussie big. Lost Byrnes who has had a few down seasons

Who is Krump and is that Darrell Morgan?

Well they'll play finals I think, all those youngsters will take another step up also

They have Seva or did he go back to Cockburn? Vinci will be much improved with his Wildcats training

Slammers bugs are going to severely tested this season. Clive Weeden has lost interest for the game, Ben Smith is new and you can only hope he fits in while Chris Douglas is still raw and unproven in this league. Then I believe they only the young fella Durnin who is more of a 3/4. No other big men

Voelkel is back for them as well

Yeah he will play the 3 for majority of the game. Still think they are a big or 2 short with Worthington not playing

He will play a lot of minutes at the 4 I would think with some 3 guard lineups

Perry Lakes are the team to watch out for. Not much has been said about them. Waters, Smith, Adekponya,Purser, Carlwell plus another import, Hickert and a couple of guys switching from other teams. This team is going to be dangerous.

Even without Adekponya, that team is legit

Geraldton are gonna be good this season, Gero, Perry Lakes, Joondalup top 3 I think

Basically it means they have offered him a contract and are waiting for an answer. It may also that he has given them his answer and the negotiation part is them scrambling to make it better in hopes to persuade him to stay lol

Seva Chan has moved back to play under Nener at Cockburn.

Lakeside will have an import PG.

Do you know who the import is?

Apparently Mathiang Muo is back in the SBL in 2017

If Gero grab another import:

1- Hussey
2- Adekponya
3- Barrow
4- Cook
5-Wundenberg

6-Import
7-Ralph
8-10 who cares, can win a 40 min game with 7

Willo:

1.Armour
2.Scott
3.Bowie
4.Cody
5. Turner

6- Johnson
7- Evans
8-10 see above

Hawks:

1. Waters
2. Smith
3. Purser
4. ?
5. Carlwell

6 ?
7 ?
8 ?

Hawks don't have much of a bench tbh

Slammers we've already been through so I think the clear top 3 are Gero Willetton and Slammers. I don't think people should look past Stirling either, probably use an import spot on Ellis, but Lindeburg won't return. Add Rhys Vague who is on par with Lindeburg means they are an import better than last year.

in no order:
1-3: Gero, Willetton, Slammers
4-8: Hawks, Giants, Senators, Redbacks
9-11: Lakeside, Eagles, Flames,
12-14: Magic, Cockburn, Eastern Suns

This looks like a decent season, whole bunch of new imports and some returning ones:
Turner, Nichols, Voelkel, Bowie, Barrow, all familiar faces
New imports at Flames x2, Lightning x2, Cockburn x2, Waters, Giants import replacing Manigault.

and Redhage!

Lakeside women are definitely going to be playing small ball in the first third of the season.
Ash Grant apparently has to have a break after WNBL season which seems pretty ridiculous considering she only averages 5-6 min a game and the good Aussie big they have recruited has to finish the US college season.
No Lynx girls and the last season Lakeside second import at the Suns.

There is no way in hell the Slammers are top 3!!!!!!!! Unless they have signings I'm unaware of they won't make the playoffs unless 6 other teams are terrible. They will not finish higher than 7th, that is best case scenario with Tre Nichols winning MVP, and Brian Voelkel averaging a near triple double

The problem is, people from the outside look at these names and don't know anything aboutm. Clive Weeden has lost passion for the game and may not even be a starter next season, Michael Lay will be solid but has spent 3 years without touching a basketball. Brian Voelkel has not played a game since he was released from his contract in England in early 2016. Chris Douglas, Travis Durnin and Brody England are talented young players but all are unproven at the level and are between 7-10 in the rotation. Ben Smith is a big new addition to start at the 4, but he may struggle to get close to the numbers and efficiency he had last season in a new system and as he gets a year older. Tre Nichols is a flat out superstar in this league however he is not a pass first guy and doesn't run the team to the best of everyone else's ability. Teny Puot had a rather poor season in 2016 and always seemed to lack confidence playing second fiddle to Tre with the running of the offense. Wade Hitchcock is a shooter who shoots plenty and misses plenty, wins them 1 game a year (with a little help) and loses 5-6 games a year (with a little help) off the back of his shooting. To me he is a big key this season and must knock down the open looks. Even he was contemplating not playing this season.

The rotation looks like
PG. Nichols, Lay
SG. Hitchcock, Puot
SF. Voelkel, England
PF. Smith, Durnin
C. Weeden, Douglas

Still think they are a big veteran short of being a finals team, if Worthington was playing I'd have them scraping into the finals. Clive is foul prone and with only two youngsters backing him up I'd be worried. That team looks better on paper than what it will be in game I believe unfortunately.

I predict a 10th place finish for the Slammers.
