Talking points<\/p>\n

Bryce’s time
This game will be the first time fans get the chance to see Bryce Cotton wear the green and gold. <\/p>\n

It has been a long time coming for the NBL’s six-time MVP, who officially became an Australian citizen earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

Cotton’s debut comes in a full circle moment as the star guard runs out in front of a Perth crowd that he is very familiar with and shares a backcourt with Cleveland Cavaliers guard, Tyrese Proctor.<\/p>\n

Familiar faces return
Even though the Boomers have locked up this part of the qualification, it hasn’t stopped some big names from putting their hand up to represent Australia. <\/p>\n

Keanu Pinder and Jack McVeigh, who will team up together for Cairns this season, will be side-be-side for Adam Caporn and hoping to put on a show. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
