NBL IS<br />

BACK<br />

After celebrating last season’s success<br />

and unveiling the historic <strong>2018</strong> NBL<br />

Championship banner, it will be back to<br />

business for Melbourne United in the<br />

<strong>2018</strong>/<strong>19</strong> home opener.<br />

Their opponent; the New Zealand Breakers<br />

enter the season with some fresh faces and<br />

hopes of challenging for the title. Two of those<br />

new faces are players who helped United to<br />

the <strong>2018</strong> NBL Championship; Tai Wesley and<br />

Majok Majok.<br />

Both will play vital roles for the Breakers and<br />

as all United fans would know, Wesley is<br />

capable of turning a game on its head with<br />

his tough play and willingness to do whatever<br />

is needed.<br />

He is a tough cover for opposing bigs due to<br />

his classy footwork in the paint, and he can<br />

overpower guards with his brute strength.<br />

DJ Kennedy, Craig Moller, Dan Trist and Dave<br />

Barlow will be crucial in slowing down Wesley.<br />

New Zealand’s imports; Shawn Long,<br />

Patrick Richard and Armani Moore will bring<br />

excitement and tough match-ups.
