Your Best Available NBL Replacement 5

Bouncing off (no pun intended) earlier thread about Replacement Player Rule, and Peter Hooley's recent article on NBL website. Thought this would be a creative idea for discussion.

Create a starting 5 with current available Locals & Imports in the country, that you could see potentially suit up for teams this season.

PG - Jeremy Kendle*
SG - Jonathon Mines
SF - Kendall Stephens
PF - Dain Swetalla*
C - Deng Acouth

Interested to see what others might have in their 5.

C - Miles Plumlee*

Aron Baynes would be my 1st choice for centre but injured so actually, not-available.
Thon Maker would be handy but O/S so actually, also not-available.

Could Acouth play the PF? Not familiar-enough with Swetalla's game but no-doubt a good pick, too.

Just heard (NBL O/time) that Mathiang is currently in Melb. It gets harder to pick top-5!

TT's List.
PG - Jeremy Kendle*
SG - Jonathon Mines
SF - Kendall Stephens
PF - Dain Swetalla*
C - Deng Acouth

My 1st List.
PG - Jeremy Kendle*
SG - Jonathon Mines
SF - Jerron Jamerson*
PF - Dain Swetalla*
C - Miles Plumlee*

My New List (with extras).
PG - Jeremy Kendle*/Jonathon Mines
SG - Jerron Jamerson*/Brendan Teys
SF - Mathiang/Kendall Stephens
PF - Dain Swetalla*/Deng Acouth/Eric McAlister
C - Aron Baynes/Miles Plumlee*/Thon Maker/David Andersen (2 of)
Add;
HC - Bevo and could be an expansion team right there (if 4 imports allowed for 'new' team or naturalise Kendle)!

And I am sure that there are other names to add.
