"Corey Shervill's two-year contract with the Perth Wildcats will see him remain a development player in 2021/22, before being elevated to the main roster in 2022/23"
Awesome, going to be great to have him on that extended bench next season

Agree and getting one more year as DP frees up roster spot.

Man I wished Luke Jackson chose basketball over AFL, imagine a future with Jackson, Travers and Shervill.
too bad Stephen black ruined his ambition by playing him 7 mins a game in SBL after representing Australia U19s
Very suprised hes coming back as a DP. He started in the finals.

Wonder if we see the Vanilla Gorilla back in the league at some stage?
JJ's probably been phoning him every day this week

"Very suprised hes coming back as a DP. He started in the finals. "
Perhaps, but it's a good deal all-round.
Wildcats have already demonstrated that if you're good enough, you'll get minutes, and the money could still be ok. He gets a guaranteed roster spot in the 2nd season, a two year deal, and after that assuming he's on the way up, he's free to negotiate a good deal (wherever he wants).
Good to see some talented youth coming through.

I guess this would be the NBL version of a backend deal? the cats are prob expecting the salary cap to go up next season when his full deal kicks in. And as above still a DP so doesn't count towards roster spots. If they bring Ferg or another DP C/PF that'll be enough

Development players aren't always extra bodies in training as seen with Travers and Le Afa if you are good enough you can make a valuable contribution.
Shervill is good enough for a full roster spot imo so keeping him as a DP is a smart move by the Wildcats.
Wildcats and smart move go hand in hand, why would anyone be surprised.
Can they pay more for a DP than the DP contracted amount set by the NBL? Or is Shervill on 20k this year then a normal NBL salary next year.

I believe they can
I believe the DP salary is a minimum
Couple of years back it was rumoured that a certain DP at a certain club was on substantially more
I would imagine, that moneywise the wildcats would have gone close to matching what he was being offered elsewhere even as a full roster spot
Dp can be paid every time they hit the floor, it can be as good as bottom placed full roster spots.
