Illawarra Hawks Team News
After a shocking last season, the Illawarra Hawks were rebuilding during the offseason with the captain and the main leader Tyler Harvey remaining. Head coach Jacob Jackomas signed two new imports Gary Clark and AJ Johnson,kept Sam Froling and further reinforced the roster by bringing in two domestic stars Mason Peatling and Todd Blanchfield.
The new squad looks very promising and it was visible in the preseason Blitz tournament, where the Hawks performed at a very high level. Is it a sign of things to come after only winning three games last season only time will tell, but the Hawks look much better and well-rounded compared to last season.

Sydney Kings Team News
The back-to-back champions are longing for a three-peat led by new coach Mahmoud Abdelfattah. The roster has been shaken up and reinforced with three new imports, returnee Jaylen Adams, DJ Hogg and Denzel Valentine.
The backbone of the team with players like Angus Glover, Shaun Bruce and Jordan Hunter provides a good foundation along with the new addition from the Cairns Taipans Kouat Noi, who should really boost the new-look team lead by the former NBL MVP and returnee Jaylen Adams.
The Kings are hoping to do it again for the third time in a row and have all the tools necessary, but the competition is very fierce this year.
