Hunter is 'King' of the SuperCoach NBL cap savers

South East Melbourne big man and Sydney Kings NBL26 champion Hunter Goodrick ($69,000) is undeniably the best SuperCoach NBL Cheapie, already snapped up by more than 40% of SuperCoaches in a little more than 24 hours.

Goodrick, 26, is the backup power forward behind import Yannis Morin ($277,000) on our depth chart but is a dual-position FWD/CTR at a rock-bottom price.

Two-position Cheapies are gold dust, especially one who, in just 7.8 minutes per game for the Sydney Kings last season, averaged 5.79 SC points. Goodrick is an unlikely SuperCoach NBL starter, but solid, reliable production at a great price for a player whose minutes are going to go up.

Illawarra Hawks second-year man Johny Narkle ($69,000) is most definitely one to put on your Watch List during the NBL27 Blitz. The NBL1 star is also a dual-position GRD/FWD, and our depth chart has him in the second-string behind Australian Tyler Harvey ($271,700) at shooting guard.

Whether that means minutes given to William Hickey ($331,600) could come off the bench, ala NBL25 Championship glory, and moving new import point guard Milton Doyle ($274,700) off the ball is anyone’s guess. He’s not on many radars, owned by just 2.6% of SuperCoaches, but with an average of 5.56 SC points in 7.7 minutes per game, maybe he should be.

Cairns veteran Shaun Bruce ($76,500) was the third-string point guard behind import Jaylon Brown ($270,000) and NBL Next Star Luke Paul ($115,000), who is out six to eight weeks with an ankle. Bruce, 35, becomes a viable option on the back of 7.37 SC points in 8.6 minutes last season for the Kings. That’s a decent amount of production for a man barely on the floor, and for the opening month of NBL27, he’s next man up for Adam Forde.

Another veteran back-up big with dual position benefits is Adelaide's Matt Kenyon ($69,000).

He's second-string small forward, but the man above him is Bul Kuol ($156,100), who is out for the season with an ACL. Kenyon played all 40 games last year and averaged 5.42 SC points in 10.4 minutes a night. A dual-position FWD/GRD at the floor price who has never missed a game, owned by just 4.5% of coaches. We’ll need to wait and see what new head coach Trevor Gleeson does with his starting line – could it be: Bryce Cotton ($473,900), Flynn Cameron ($241,700), Zylan Cheatham ($339,500), Nick Rakocevic $188,400 and Isaac Humphries ($265,300)?

Only 14 games, so treat it as thin

Ranked by value, a projected-minutes model over price. It is not a SuperCoach figure and not a prediction of scoring. Prices, player ids and ownership resolved against the live SuperCoach production API at 8:57am AEST, 2 September 2026; per-36 rates recomputed from the NBL26 season feed at the same time.
Per-36 is a rate, not a projection. It answers what a player did while he was on the floor, which is the only fair way to compare a man who played 45 minutes with one who played 600. None of these players is projected to play 36 minutes. Cameron Huefner carries a thin-sample badge. His per-36 rests on 45 minutes of court time, an extrapolation by a factor of about 48, so it is not comparable with rates built from hundreds of minutes. He is ranked on the depth chart, not on that rate.
Every name links to that player’s SuperCoach profile. The number in each link is resolved at build time from the player’s permanent key, because SuperCoach ids are positions in a list that re-sequences whenever the list grows — 126 of 136 moved between 11:11 and 15:52 on 31 August. Depth-chart reads and the one-line cases are editorial judgement, not data.

P1 | Anzac Rissetto NZL	$69,000	1.17	23 games, 2 seasons, NBL22 and NBL23	No NBL26 sample. Played in Germany with Phoenix Hagen	2nd of only 2 at C (Bediako IP / Rissetto)	Centre is the scarce position in this game, only 17 players carry it as a primary, and you need two. New Zealand carry exactly two
P2 | Ben Griscti ADL	$69,000	0.73	7 games, 1 season, NBL25	No NBL26 sample	2nd of only 2 at C (Humphries / Griscti)	The same argument as Rissetto with less evidence behind it. Adelaide carry no third centre, so Isaac Humphries' rest minutes are his
P3 | Preston Le Gassick NZL	$69,000	4.13	None. NBL debutant	No NBL26 sample. Arrived from Palm Beach Atlantic University, NCAA Division II	2nd at PG (Jackson-Cartwright IP / Le Gassick / Evans Jr DP)	Backup point guard to an import, at 4.13 per cent ownership. A pure projection, and his row says so
P4 | Ben Gold TAS	$69,000	6.06	None. NBL debutant	No NBL26 sample. Arrived from Marquette, NCAA	2nd at C (Magnay / Gold / Richardson DP), and Will Magnay's availability is unconfirmed	6.06 per cent already own him, which is high for a debutant, and the man above him is the least certain starter in the league

There is no per-36 and no value score in this table, and that is deliberate. None of these four played an NBL minute in NBL26, so there is nothing to compute a rate from. Block A’s analytic columns are not repeated here with blanks in them: an empty cell beside Block A’s 26.2 reads as a low score rather than as an absence, and two different measurements must never share a column.
They are not rookies. Each is an experienced senior player who spent NBL26 somewhere other than the NBL, or is arriving from college, and each has walked into a top-two depth-chart slot. The ranking is P1 to P4 on the strength of that path, so it can never be read as a continuation of Block A’s 1 to 13.
