Excellent selection move, a win does nothing unless Brisbane beat Sydney which ain’t going to happen.

Unless he needs the rest for an injury I wouldn’t be resting him
A bad loss here zaps our recently found confidence
I’d rather see him play less minutes tonight but still play

Saying sore back, no doubt he isn’t 100% fit

Probably from carrying the team

Don't forget we're playing the NZ Breakers on Sunday in the Ignite Cup final on the Gold Coast so potentially avoiding a cross country trip for Cotton too.

Plus there's $400k on the line on Sunday, $300k for the winners and $100k for the losers.

His wife and kids never came with him to Adelaide?

I don’t believe so, they stayed in Perth. I’m sure that’s what was said on the TV coverage last time we played in Perth

Haven’t seen them at local games either

Okay I'm sure I saw them with him at his citizenship ceremony here in Adelaide before the season but that doesn't mean they moved here.

Interesting dynamic that and really gives credence to the talk he was desperate to get away from the Wildcats. Perhaps we outbid ourselves giving him the largest contract in NBL history.

Strange circumstances given he signed a 3 year contract
1 year I could understand but 3

Sign the best player in the League as many years as he wants to get him.

Sign him for 5 if we can

Max contract length for players in the NBL is 3 years.

Does seem strange his wife and kids haven't come over.
