29-year-old Jonah Bolden signs with Illawarra.
Liked his comeback season in Sydney, but took a little step back in New Zealand. In theory, an easy fit next to any Illawarra big, with his shooting, rebounding, mobility, passing ability

24-year-old Johny Narkle joins a talented Illawarra DP group.
Long and smooth athlete on the wing. Defensive playmaker. Impressive passer and cutter. Improved outside shooter and off the dribble player. Finally rewarded with his opportunity.

31-year-old Jo Lual-Acuil signs with Perth.
Huge presence. Can create for himself or finish playing off others. His best games on defence are dominant, but inconsistency on that end was seen in Melb. Perth's roster is looking like an upgraded one on last season.

28-year-old Tim Soares signs with Sydney.
Complements Cooks with his shooting, and has more length and defensive rebounding than Leaupepe for when that's needed. Good balance of options in the frontcourt.

Jensen Bradtke signs as a DP with Brisbane. He was an immediate eye-catcher to start the NBL1 season and made himself a must add with his shooting at his size and age

Montrezl Harrell re-signs with Adelaide.
This undoes some of Adelaide’s good work. Harrell doesn’t complement the rest of the personnel well enough for a title — you need Humphries’ best, and more defence. A Jack White type import would’ve been my target. Fans will love it though.

7 straight seasons without a winning record, plus some other nonsense in recent history. A shock of a decision from Bryce Cotton and a massive get for the Adelaide 36ers. Wow.

Finn Delany signs with Melbourne.
Nice Jack White replacement. Not the same defensive value, but some bucket getting ability if he plays at his All-NBL best — great mix of bully-ball, open floor play, screen and roll, shooting.

Backup C. Gak still hasn’t played all that consistently at this level yet but is an upgrade on the five-man depth from last season

28-year-old DJ Mitchell signs with South East Melbourne.
Backup power forward. Talented scorer and shooter, capable of some big games. Was an iffy defender. Minutes declined and interest dried up with that second year in Brisbane.

27-year-old Matt Kenyon signs with Adelaide.
Wing depth. Very willing defender 1 through 3. One of the better cutters and offensive rebounders for his size, but doesn’t get guarded on the perimeter — multiple 3PM in just 15 of 110 games.

The injured Sam Froling re-signs with Illawarra.
No fuss, high character, local star. Froling’s a winner and will be back. Looking forward to watching Lachy Olbrich dominate in the interim

David Okwera re-signs with Perth.
Loads of potential with shot-blocking, ball skills, shooting, switch-ability upside but still piecing it all together. More right-place right-time consistency needed to lock in a rotation spot.

Lat Mayen signs with Perth.
38% on 125 3PA these past two seasons. Big size for a wing, or capable of minutes at PF too. Didn’t prove himself as a starter or stopper with Adelaide in his age-26 season, but slots in as a backup here giving Perth more quality depth

Sunday Dech signs with Perth.
Good depth, able to guard 1-3 and particularly helpful to them as another point of attack defensive option, where they’ve lacked in recent years. High character guy and handy three-point shooter.

Kendric Davis signs with Sydney.
Unquestionable talent with lightning speed and special on-ball scoring. Some smoke around last season with the character, so interested to see how he + his game mature with another year, new environment, championship expectations, and sharing a backcourt with Delly

Dylan Windler re-signs with Perth.
Big wing who got better as the season wore on at using his length to impact defensively. 40% catch and shoot bomber. #1 in DREB% among non-bigs.

Ben Ayre signs with Tasmania.
He’s got plenty of that JackJumpers competitiveness, and gets the most out of himself. Hit 41% of 157 3PA with SEM. It looks a neat fit as 2nd or 3rd string PG

Great to see Tom Wilson get a contract with Melbourne United.
Big time player at SEABL/COE/NBL1 level for years. Combo guard skills — shot maker and creator off the dribble, off ball shooter and mover, strong passing instincts
