Scorchers Complete Roster

Depends what they need.  They certainly don't need 10ppg.

The Scorchers are stacked with scorers.  Three of the BBL top 8 from last season plus two more averaging 15+ ppg.

Also three of the BBL top 8 defensive rebounders.  I've said before it doesn't make them a great rebounding team, but the likely main five can all get boards.

Covering the 2, 3 and 4 they are also stacked.  There isn't a true centre though.  They don't need point production there.  They don't need (but wouldn't mind of course) a dominant rebounder.  They are getting a big athletic body who can block.  Kervin Bristol doesn't hit you on stats, but offers a lot of the intangibles.  The Scorchers aren't getting a Bristol, but they'd like some of his attributes.

I think Creon wants a Centre whose strength is role playing.  The downside of MBA is that you need to play through him.    

In terms of fit, Rickman ticks the boxes.  Whether he is good enough is to be seen.  I think the Scorchers have struggled to recruit imports (as a group) that can score and that puts pressure on the rest of the team.  If this team needs Rickman to be a scorer, then there are big problems.  I expect a large number of his points to be dunks.  I expect the odd set play in the low post to back down his defender with the knowledge the Scorchers have some players out sizing their defenders to hit the offensive boards.  I don't think he has the passing skills to hit the cutters or finding open men on the perimeter (he won't be double teamed anyway).

I like the fact he's not a scorer as it suggests he must have some attributes.  His low minutes as primarily a starter in his senior year are a red flag.  But basically Indiana State played four guards and he shared the big man role with two others, which partly explains it.

Perhaps partly answered by how many work permits have been issued.  I'd assume Rickman and Cashaw certainly need one.  Cook I assume also.  Unless Hasan or Wright himself are classified non-import then I'm guessing Rickman is a direct replacement for Trayvonn.
