SuperCoach NBL: Who to Buy, Hold, Sell & Captain in Round 4

• ‍Every NBL27 roster, squad list and projected depth chart‍
• Every injured NBL player, with expected return dates‍
• Salary Cap, Captain & Chaos: Master SuperCoach NBL

It's impossible, right? Impossible.

But without doubt, the 38 per cent of SuperCoaches with Bryce Cotton ($473,900) as their starting guard are nervous: 150 SuperCoaches traded the six-time MVP out before Round 3.

Why are we even talking about it? Well, Cotton's SuperCoach NBL average has slipped to 36.2 per game (181 points in five games), and SuperCoaches expecting a Bryce bonanza in Round 3 with a double-header at Illawarra and at home to New Zealand Breakers felt all kinds of pain.

He was already down a hundred bucks from his $473,900 starting price after Round 2 and took another $40.8K haircut after Round 3.

Adelaide has rotation problems without Isaac Humphries ($265,300), Flynn Cameron ($241,700) and Bul Kuol ($156,100); every scout now has face guard Bryce, make him give it up, and others beat you.

The fact is, the data says Sell, but it's Bryce Cotton, nine-time NBL scoring champion and the second greatest player in NBL history. Brutal.

Only four clubs play twice in Round 4: Adelaide, Cairns, Illawarra and Melbourne. Everyone else plays once.

Doubles from Round 4 to Round 10: Illawarra 5, Melbourne 4, Cairns 4, Brisbane 4, NZ 4, Sydney 4, Tasmania 3, Perth 3, SE Melbourne 3, Adelaide 2.

BUY

Players to bring in

• Nick Rakocevic ($188,400)'s price explosion! 48 a game in Round 3; plays Melbourne and Sydney in Round 4, half the competition owns him. If you don't have him, he's the trade but the cash is going to be an issue now.
• Milton Doyle ($274,700), 37.5 a game in Round 3. He's at Illawarra, which has the most doubles left (five), and only 4.3% own him. The best differential in the game.
• Cole Anthony ($300,000), 35.0 average, Round 4 double, four doubles to come.
• Josh Oduro ($277,000), 34 a game in Round 3, Round 4 double, 6% owned.
• Malique Lewis ($207,900), now $263,400, Round 4 double, four doubles left, 6.4% owned.
• Sam Froling ($228,200), 28.5 a game in Round 3 and five doubles left.
• Buy now for Round 5: Will Magnay ($269,300) averages 43.2, third-best in the game, and only 7% own him. His price has already jumped $50,500 to $319,800, but the Round 5 double is still ahead. Tasmania play once in Round 4, then doubles in Round 5.
• Value: Dakota Mathias ($145,200), now $173,400, 24.5 average, under 1% owned.
• Cash cows: Jonah Bolden ($133,600), Round 4 double. Makuach Maluach ($134,500), 19.3 average.

Players to keep

• Parker Jackson-Cartwright ($405,200). Single in Round 4, but he averages 53.4 with four doubles still to come. Never sell.
• Bryce Cotton ($473,900). 22.5 a game in Round 3's double, the worst return per dollar of any premium, owned by 39%. Adelaide double in Round 4 and then not again until Round 7. Hold for Round 4's double, then sell ... ooft.
• Kendric Davis ($436,000) and Arnas Velicka ($277,000). Both single in Round 4; both average 43+. Brisbane has four doubles from Round 6.
• Kristian Doolittle ($317,500), 44 in Round 3, Perth doubles in Rounds 7, 8 and 9.
• Keanu Pinder ($300,000), 36 a game in Round 3, Round 4 double.
• Dash Daniels ($115,000), now $183,800, owned by half the game.
• Anthony Dell'Orso ($100,000), now $188,900
