Boone & Ware return to Melbourne United.
So much for all those rumours saying Boone wouldn't be returning. Hoops strikeout rate with news/gossip etc is so poor!
BTW in the email Ware's lines under eyes look a real worry?

Nice work by united.
I wonder if McCarron will be coming off the bench?
I think their final import needs to be a 3/4. The need a Prather/Wesley hybrid. Look what happened to Perth when they lost Knight. Same could be said about losing Wesley.
*Ware / McCarron
Goulding / Hooley
*Import / Moller
Barlow / Trist / Smith-Milner
*Boone / Pledger
Good squad
Ware, Hooley, McCarron
Goulding, McCarron
McCarron, Moller
Barlow, Moller, Trist
Boone, Pledger , Trist
Smith-Milner
Plus still room for extra import.

Stacked. Favorite IMO with or without third import.

Love it. Both guys have been great for not only MU, but the league as a whole. Great job by Melbourne.

Fantastic.
Continuity is great. Having 2 imports for 3 seasons in a row is a rarity in the NBL.
Combine that with Goulding, Moller, McCarron, Trist all having 2 or 3 years left. United has the right idea aiming for continuity in their Aussies and imports.
Will be interested seeing which direction United goes with the last import spot. Wesley's combination of post scoring, and high IQ passing has yet to be replaced. Boone finishes with rolls to the hoop, baseline cuts, 2nd chances, fast breaks. But posting up isnt his game.
Trist does like the post but it remains to be seen how good he is.

I think people are underestimating the loss of Wesley

Wrong thread mate.
Hey Andrew, Mitch ain't no point guard try watching some games before you post.

It won't happen, but I'd love to see UTD start with-
Ware CG43 McCarron Moller & Boone
Back their all star trio + the youth & energy of McCarron & Moller.
Then you have veterans Barlow & Pledger as your 6th & 7th, Hooley backing up Ware, then Trist & TSM.
Don't sign a 3rd import & blood young Mini-Mac in the line up. Wouldn't that be exciting?!?!
And they'd still be favourites IMO.
I think Trist will be 6th man pushing for a starting spot, he will surprise a few this season

Yeah shit, Trist looks very skilled indeed. Can he rebound though?
Trist is slow, can score but didn't make Frankston any better in the win coloumn. Big body though.

I noticed watching the live streams that Trust can score & busts his guts, but footspeed especially laterally looked sloooow.
