In the spirit of the experts and all their elite releases of all their phantom rankings and breakdowns, I’ve put together my own top 40 that I’ve tweaked throughout the year. 10-15 genuinely stiff to miss, I see this draft being great for identifying specific skills later on.

Old school Keanu Pinder performance, long overdue. Incredible win for Cairns.

Triple-double, he’s a star
Was hoping to see more Carlin Davison minutes this season. Looking really good and aggressive with the extra opportunity #NBL

Feels like this’ll work well…we desperately need Mays’ replacement to hit the ground running
Skylar Mays is finalising a deal with the New Zealand Breakers for the remainder of the 2026-27 NBL season, sources told ESPN. Mays recently parted ways with the SEM Phoenix; the 6’3 guard replaces Parker Jackson-Cartwright, who’s out for the season with a stress fracture in his tibia.

“Cleared” isn’t the right word

A lot of the answers don’t really discredit what Usman said either. There’s likely some sort of technical grey area where Khawaja’s telling what really happened, but it’s not lying for the bowlers to say they didn’t know anything specific on field. All political. Move on now.
Can’t have really asked for more from Cummins

Inevitably a perspective thing, you see what you see from Khawaja’s perspective

Used to have John Brown III, now Illawarra’s got 70 points in a half

Lot of white blokes with way too many negative Usman Khawaja opinions at the moment

I’ve really like Kale Matthews-Hampton all season and hope he gets a late go, Justice, Templeton, Elliott and Judd Burgiel I could’ve easily put in this list. I think Tom Brown might be really, really good down the line too.

Could easily do a phantom ranking top 60 this season, think the 40 is settled
