Guard Talent in the NBL this season

NBL this year has probably the best guard talent we have ever seen in this league. We are really spoilt for guard talent.

Casper Ware (IF he returns.)
Bryce Cotton
Stephen Holt
Travis Trice
Travis Leslie
Nathan Sobey
Ramone Moore
Scoochie Smith
DJ Newbill
Kevin Lisch
Rotnei Clare
Shannon Shorter

Probably the most guard talent we have ever had? Who disappoints, who surprises?

Best ever? Not as certain on that one, but it's a good crop.

Imports fresh out of college are a crapshoot, so Scoochie is probably the safest pick for Most Disappointing Guard, but I'm going to go with DJ Newbill.

Too risky pre-judging new arrivals, whether imports or locals coming from college. Too easy for a third of those new-to-NBL imports to flounder. And then even hard to judge after early games.

If you're including Sobey, you have to include D Martin and maybe others, surely?

Forgot about Martin but yeah. He's their ofcourse.

Newbill looks the least impressive. Really looks as if NZ have hit a hard time with cashflow. IMO NZ look very weak...

Left out Edgar Sosa, the Breakers import PG there. Usually guys like him that played in good euro leagues tend to go ok here.

Leslie could be a standout in the league. He was the scoring champ in LKL back in 2013/14 and its a good euro league.

Agree about adding Damian Martin.
Also Goulding.

Wouldn't classify Newley as a guard. Yes he can swing to 2 but he's more of a versatile forward.
