Talking points

Bryce's time
This game will be the first time fans get the chance to see Bryce Cotton wear the green and gold.

It has been a long time coming for the NBL's six-time MVP, who officially became an Australian citizen earlier in the year.

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.

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.

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.
