Talking points<\/p>\n

Fan favourites return
Tasmania champions Milton Doyle and Fabijan Krslovic return to MyState Bank Arena, but are now in enemy territory, after both made the move to Melbourne United in the off-season. <\/p>\n

Two key pieces of the fabric of the JackJumpers will try to inflict pain in the opening game of the season.<\/p>\n

Import trio set and ready
The JackJumpers have three fresh American guards in Tyger Campbell, David Johnson and Bryce Hamilton as their guards\/wings this season. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a rare feat in the NBL to have all three import spots used this way, but Scott Roth will be relying on them to carry a big load in the scoring and playmaking department.<\/p>\n
