Round 9 Trading Places: SuperCoach NBL Classic

New Zealand Breakers big man Sam Mennenga ($303,100 > $375,800) is the most traded-in player in SuperCoach NBL before Round 9. He is held by 1,736 more teams than at the Round 8 lockout, and his price has climbed $72,700 on the season.

Brisbane Bullets cheapie Archie Woodhill ($58,500 > $92,500) is second at 650 more teams. He is ahead of South East Melbourne Phoenix big man Yannis Morin ($277,000 > $286,900) at 640, whose $39,400 rise was the second biggest in the price update that followed Round 8. Nathan Sobey ($379,600 > $296,700), also from the Phoenix, is fifth at 523, even though he is $82,900 under his starting price and fell another $13,500 this week.

The selling is concentrated at the Cairns Taipans, who fill six of the 15 most traded-out places. Big man Jonah Bolden ($133,600 > $275,000) heads that list in 1,167 fewer teams, despite sitting $141,400 above his starting price as the third-biggest season riser in the game. Jack McVeigh ($349,800 > $351,800) is being sold too, in 150 fewer teams, after the $31,100 rise that followed his 95 points across Cairns’ Round 8 double.

Three of the five most sold players are injured. Tasmania JackJumpers forward Ben Gold ($69,000 > $115,300) is in 1,059 fewer teams with a heel injury and an expected Round 11 return on the NBL’s list. Jaylin Galloway ($196,400 > $179,500) has a back injury with Round 14 listed, and Brisbane guard Max Mackinnon ($200,000 > $235,800) is out with concussion.

Adelaide 36ers forward Zylan Cheatham ($339,500 > $357,900) was the biggest riser of the week. He went up $44,000 after his 71-point triple-double against the Illawarra Hawks. Breakers forward Carlin Davison ($121,600 > $323,800) added $23,400 and is now $202,200 up on the season, second only to Adelaide’s Nick Rakocevic ($188,400 > $404,500) at $216,100.

At the other end, Breakers guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright ($405,200 > $354,700) took the biggest fall, down $71,300, after he was ruled out for the rest of NBL27 with a stress fracture in his tibia. Skylar Mays ($277,000 > $201,000) fell $38,500 in the week CODE Sports reported that he and the Phoenix had parted ways. Breakers forward Kouat Noi ($185,100 > $64,100) remains the biggest season faller, $121,000 under his starting price.

Trading stays open until Round 9 locks at 7.30pm AEDT on Wednesday, November 11, when the Phoenix host Illawarra, so the order of the trade tables below can still change.
