Scott Roth delivered a clear message to his players ahead of their first game at the CODE Sports NBL Blitz: \u2018play well, stay on the court\u2019.<\/p>\n

According to the Tasmania JackJumpers coach, reputations mean nothing heading into a new season, and minutes must be earned, not given.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re just gonna earn your minutes to be on the floor and whoever gets on, gets on,\u201d Roth said via CODE Sports<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re not here to play nice and just everyone gets 15 minutes and do the evaluation, we\u2019re actually trying to figure out some things, chemistry wise and where we\u2019re at.\u201d<\/p>\n

The JackJumpers are preparing to face former Champion Jack McVeigh and the Cairns Taipans on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Roth said he \u201chadn\u2019t even thought\u201d about the McVeigh matchup, staying focused on his own team. He won\u2019t watch opposition games at the Blitz, keeping his attention on fine-tuning his squad\u2019s preparations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s uninteresting to me to be quite honest with you,\u201d Roth said. \u201cI just worry about our group and what we do and when we get ready for a real game, then we\u2019ll get ready for a real game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tasmania has refreshed its roster over the off-season, adding three new imports David Johnson, Bryce Hamilton and Tyger Campbell, while farewelling several members of its NBL24 Championship-winning squad, including Milton Doyle, Jordon Crawford and Clint Steindl.<\/p>\n

The JackJumpers have also secured promising big man Josh Bannan from the Brisbane Bullets.<\/p>\n

Tasmania faces Cairns on day two of the CODE Sports NBL Blitz, live on Disney+ and Kayo from 8pm AEST.<\/p>\n
