Welcome to Episode 1 of a special series of The Marketplace as we take a look at what the NBL24 rosters are shaping up like in our Roster Round Table discussion.

Jack Heverin is joined by Liam Santamaria, Andrew Gaze and Simon Mitchell to unpack where each team currently sits in terms of roster outlook. Episode 1 looks at Sydney, Tasmania, Adelaide and Illawarra.

The man they call "Finn Diesel" is back home in New Zealand and he's not here to mix his words, he wants to win a Championship as a Breaker and he's determined to do so.

After re-signing with the Taipans in the offseason we caught up with Bul Kuol to dive into what the South Sudan team means to him and the rest of the country, his free agency period, "chasing the bag" and how excited he is to build something special in Cairns.

The good news keeps on rolling in Sydney, with exciting forward Alex Toohey signing as a Next Star for with the Kings. Illawarra are also closer to finalising their roster with expected signing of Gary Clark.

The new man at the helm for the Sydney Kings, Mahmoud Abdelfattah, talks to us about how he got the head coaching role, his background and what he will bring to the Champs.

Is the JackJumpers roster set? Olgun Uluc from ESPN thinks so as he reports that Tasmania are expected to sign Marcus Lee, Jordon Crawford and Majok Deng to complete their roster. Followed by another big signing in New Zealand as ex-NBA player Zylan Cheatham is rumoured to be the newest Breaker.

Big news out of Sydney, with former Philadelphia 76er Jonah Bolden joining the Kings in a comeback move to basketball for the big man. Heading out North to Cairns as they have secured the signature of point guard Patrick Miller.

It's an offseason of new beginnings for Luke Travers. After 4 seasons with Perth he is departing to Melbourne, adding new elements to his game at the same time, bulking up, returning to Summer League, plus, are the famous locks about to be chopped off?
