SuperCoach NBL: Who to Buy, Hold, Sell & Captain in Round 5

• All 165 games of the NBL27 season in one list
• Every NBL27 roster, squad list and projected depth chart
• Every injured NBL player, with expected return dates
• Hammertime: Who is leading NBL27 in dunks

Welcome to Tasmania JackJumpers head coach Scott Roth’s world.

Parker Jackson-Cartwright ($405,200) out. Arnas Velicka ($277,000) out. That’s two of the SuperCoach NBL Star Guard Tracker’s best point-scorers.

To paraphrase: “SuperCoach lions don’t go to sleep; they don’t wake up wondering about what SuperCoach sheep said about them.”

Cartwright, averaging 53.4 SuperCoach NBL points per game, was a ride-or-die given the New Zealand Breakers have doubleheaders in Rounds 5, 7, 9 and 10.

The Breakers said it was a lower-leg injury, likely a calf, so they’ll likely ease (read: minutes restrictions) the point guard back.

Velicka, on the other hand, is not expected back until after the FIBA Break (eight weeks) with a quad injury. He’s leading the league in assists but to say he’s struggling from the field is an understatement. But still, he’s averaging 40.2 points per game.

Between them, that’s a 93.6 points-per-round hole that SuperCoach lions need to fill.

Next Man Up

Enter Grand Final MVP Kendric Davis ($436,000). SuperCoaches will most certainly tap the Trade Button for the Sydney Kings NBL26 champion, as hard as he tapped the badge on his singlet after a minor dust-up with six-time MVP Bryce Cotton ($473,900) at the end of yesterday's Sydney vs Adelaide clash.

The Kings have three straight doubleheader rounds (5, 6, and 7) and he might have a little something for the Breakers and Perth, especially given Brandon Knight ($277,000) is now hooping for the Wildcats.

Start > Now is the starting price and the price after SuperCoach’s Round 4 update, with the total change underneath; Last move is the change that update applied. SuperCoach had not published Round 5 breakevens or projected price moves when this was checked, so neither is shown. Avg is the season average, R4 avg the average across the player’s Round 4 games.

The season box is per game across Rounds 1 to 4 from the NBL’s box scores, and every SuperCoach total matches SuperCoach’s own apart from two late NBL changes SuperCoach never applied (a Round 2 turnover moved from Rakocevic to Kenyon, and a Round 3 assist moved from Jackson-Cartwright to Mennenga), where SuperCoach’s figure is shown.

Players to keep

• Nick Rakocevic ($188,400). Single in Round 5, but he averages 39.7 with doubles in Rounds 7 and 11 still to come. Never sell.
• Sam Mennenga ($303,100). We had him in Sell for Round 4 and he made us pay, scoring 62 at Perth. His price jumped $28,500 to $302,300. NZ Breakers double in Round 5, and only 20.8% own him. Hold.
• Cole Anthony ($300,000), 39 a game in Round 4, Melbourne doubles in Rounds 6, 7, 9 and 11.
• Keanu Pinder ($300,000), 32.5 a game in Round 4, Cairns doubles in Rounds 7, 8 and 10.
• Dash Daniels ($115,000), now $193,900, owned by half the game.
• Ben Gold ($69,000), now $97,100, 43.8% owned.
• Tanner Krebs ($150,300), now $164,300. All three double in Round 5 and are still making money.
