Shot clock: Quickfire guide to setting up your SuperCoach NBL team for round 7
SuperCoach superstars dominate the list of players to target in Round 7 and we reveal in-form cheapies set to rocket in price to help you get them in.
SuperCoach NBL
Don't miss out on the headlines from SuperCoach NBL. Followed categories will be added to My News.
We are one third of the way through the SuperCoach NBL season and it’s time to trade your way back into contention or bolster your team for the all important mid-season.
There were some big scores from the big names in Round 6.
If you don’t have SuperCoach superstars Parker Jackson-Cartwright and Xavier Cooks, you must be feeling the pain.
It’s time to sacrifice what you can to get them in.
If finances are tight don’t fret, there’s plenty of good talent on offer at more sensible prices to help you balance the budget.
ON THE DOUBLE
Six teams are on the double again this round – United, Phoenix, Sydney, Perth, New Zealand and Tasmania.
Four of these teams play twice again in Round 8, so to save some trades focus on United, Perth, Phoenix and Tasmania.
This puts Jack White firmly in the frame as a leading candidate to bring into your squad this week.
Backing up from 89 points in Round 6, White is on fire and averaging 47.3 over the past three rounds.
Keanu Pinder tops the list as the most traded in player this round, and with good reason.
His price is set to skyrocket by almost $10k and has been averaging 39 in the past three games.
To free up some cash, Wildcats teammate Izan Almansa is a hot target, with a projected price rise of $11,600 and coming off the back of 22 points in Round 6 he will get the benefit of two games against the Hawks in Perth and the struggling Phoenix in Melbourne.
It’s time to jump off Sam Mennenga, who is set to drop a massive $20k this week.
With Cairns and Illawarra only playing once, SuperCoaches are also doing what they can to offload Sam Waardenburg, Rob Edwards and Lachlan Olbrich this round.
You’d be wise to follow suit.
TRADE IN
1. Keanu Pinder (PER)
2. Izan Almansa (PER)
3. Flynn Cameron (MEL)
4. Jack White (MEL)
5. Karim Lopez (NZL)
TRADE OUT
1. Sam Mennenga (NZL)
2. Sam Waardenburg (CNS)
3. Rob Edwards (CNS)
4. Lachlan Olbrich (ILL)
5. Keli Leaupepe (SYD)
CAPTAIN CALL
Parker Jackson-Cartwright topped our list as the best pick as captain last week and backed up with 70. With the current best average in SuperCoach (42.5), PJC is projected to pocket 82 points this round as the Breakers take on Adelaide and Melbourne. If you have the C on him, keep it there. Other options to consider are Cooks (projected score 79) and White (71).
