Round 9 Buy, Hold, Sell, Captain: SuperCoach NBL Classic

Eight clubs double in Round 9, and two big names need to go before lockout.

Attention, the 2,053 SuperCoaches who have Parker Jackson-Cartwright ($405,200), now $354,700, and Skylar Mays ($277,000), now $201,000.

Trade both before tomorrow night’s lockout. PCJ has been ruled out for the rest of NBL27, and multiple reports say Mays and the South East Melbourne Phoenix have parted ways.

One in three SuperCoaches have the peachiest captain’s option in Round 9 of NBL27, as eight of 10 clubs have a doubleheader starting Wednesday, November 11.

Around 6,000 of the more than 18,500 SuperCoaches have Sydney Kings superstar Kendric Davis ($436,000), now $441,500. The NBL26 grand final MVP has the League’s highest average at 43.3, and he has scored 51, 46 and 53 in his last three games. The Kings visit Cairns on Friday, where he scored 46 in September, and host the New Zealand Breakers on Sunday.

Davis is easily the captain call in Round 9.

Bryce Cotton ($473,900), now $443,600, is the single-game option: 37, 54 and 33 in his last three games, and 56 the last time he played Melbourne United, who visit Adelaide on Thursday. But with eight clubs in action, SuperCoaches who have BC should have multiple options.

Do not sleep on Melbourne United forward Josh Oduro ($277,000), now $372,100. The American big man had 47 SC points from 28 points and 14 rebounds. He’s sixth overall with 429 points, averaging 35.8, with a tad more than 18% ownership. Most importantly, he’s getting a better feel for the NBL with each passing game, and Melbourne United double in Rounds 9, 11, 13, 14 and 16. His price will only go up.

Round 9 tips off on Wednesday, November 11.
