These are very very very early tips based on who looks like having a good team.
1 Tigers
2 Kings
3 Bullets
4 Dragons
5 Wollongong
6 Perth
7 Taipans
8 Singapore
9 Sixers
10 Townsville
11 New Zealand
12 West Sydney
there is no use but i bet this is how it would end up...

How can you place the Sixers anywhere yet, we barely have half a team. It will be interesting to see what sort of product the Sixers are going to try and sell.

Ill place the sixers last on exactly what u just said EC, we've only got half a team and im predicting thats all we'll have come round 1.

I can see lots of current ABA players getting singed.
I can see a Sixer side like next season
C: Cooper / Hambour / Dodman (development player)
PF: Nash / Gerlach
SF: Farley / Gower
SG: Maher / Jye Watson
PG: Hill / Vandenbergh
I highly doubt the Sixer will sign an import and Holmes will most likely leave as well, as a last resort the Sixer will sign mark Nash (not that he is a bad player but he is not your first choice as a starting power forward) and the rest will consist of local ABA player who will get an opportunity.
Willy and Brett will have to average 30 plus and 10 assist a game to be competitive.
I am sorry but I have tried to be positive and stay positive over a long time now but I cannot see how any positive can be found at the moment. What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger, let hope the Sixers can live long enough to benefit from this experience.
Sixer to finish bottom 2 and by a long way, those 40 point losses at the end of last season may look like a close game during next season.
that would make a terrible team with lots of $$$
they could atleast sign rucker or hovarth with 280k and that's stupid but u would have that much free
they will do something

NZ will be more competitive than you think IMO. Two very good imports (not something they've really had before), quality centre, good role players, decent young prospect to back up Pepper, etc.

Gerlach must have had a huge growth spurt and musscled up if he is playing at PF.
He is a guard and thats all he could play at NBL

its time for some ABA and AIS signings... the league needs to keep generating new exciting players.... why does everyone act as if the NBL is the only place we could get players from? i think the 6ers have no choice but to take a few chances on some aussies in college.... (maybe Loughton, he prolly wont make the NBA on this years for,m) some ABA, some AIS....

With that "everything's positive over the Tasman" statement, sounds to me like Isaac is positioning himself for Hoops NZ.
Maybe there is a Need for a NBL Draft..
Lets think about it could give alot younger players a chance

adelaide has produced some of the best talent in the nation. but they are avoiding the sixers like the plague. what does this show......
we need a new coach!
sorry Phil (your silence is mystifying) but undersized is right.

Compared to other teams such as West and Townsville; Sixers are far better off.
Singapore and Dragons; new kids on the block and have yet to establish themselve ALL over their organisation and on the court.
Because of that Sixers will be in the top 8. I have them at 6 IF they get a good C and PF. If they also retain Holmes then they could go 5.
