Having played in the SBL last year, Wanneroo was the team I saw as being on the top. They had a great run at the end of the season and were a very difficult team to match-up against. The squad boasts talented guards and perimeter players along with an inside presence. I hope to contribute inside but also make the guys around me better players.
