Experts reveal must-have buy as $479k superstar gets unanimous backing — NBL SuperCoach
The NBL season is in full swing with two rounds in the books and, for NBL SuperCoach, the first wave of price fluctuations has arrived.
Several players have already made coaches a ton of cash, while some big-name imports and highly owned players have gone the other way, dropping significantly in price after the opening two rounds.spoke to some of the best minds in the SuperCoach community to get their best buys, holds and sells, as well as who they believe should be wearing the captain’s armband this week. Bryce Cotton of the 36ers shoots a free throw during the round two NBL match between Perth Wildcats and Adelaide 36ers at RAC Arena, on September 24, 2026, in Perth, Australia.
Now it is time to hand things over to the community experts, who have provided their insight to help you squeeze as many points, and as much cash, as possible out of Round 3. Before getting into their tips, here is how each expert performed in Round 2 and where they currently sit overall:Don’t see how you can’t. Double game week. Avg 55.
BE 29. Schedule not great but I think you buy for this week for the price rise and assess from there. Only flag … They haven’t played anyone yet and Sydney can actually defend a bit, keeping guards to 19 so far this year. But that was Brown and Hickey so it’s a BIG YES.
With all the Illawarra Hawks injury concerns, Narkle at just $90,000 looks too good to pass up if he gets the starting role. Money talks and the man is scoring at Bryce Cotton-like levels for half the price. Ignore the singles in the next couple weeks and set yourself up for the season. Traditionally Cotton and Parker Jackson-Cartwright would be must-holds but you can get that production from a mid ranger in Arnas!
A guy who can make us $50k+ while having the ceiling of 100sc on the double. Count me in. Arnas Velicka of the Bullets poses during a Brisbane Bullets 2026/27 NBL Headshots Session at NEP Studios on September 06, 2026 in Melbourne, Australia. Simply, try not to sell your guys who are on the up, especially this early in the year.
Two good match-ups, so should keep ticking along nicely for now. I’m most likely holding Arnas for the whole season. He’s shown he can put up big scores even in single-game rounds. Could he be the first $500K player this season?
Arnas Velicka of the Bullets takes possession of the ball during the 2026 NBL Blitz match between South East Melbourne Phoenix and Brisbane Bullets at Red Energy Arena on September 05, 2026 in Bendigo, Australia. This guy has shown upside and Cairns have a better chance of putting it together than New Zealand. We’ve seen him thrive under Adam Forde before and I’m still a believer! Use his cash.
The hardest watch in the world. Playing against two defensive centres is scary considering Magnay had him missing layup after layup. Watch him score 70 now… After a crazy pre-season, I had big hopes for him. But after putting up Tony Snell-type numbers against Perth, he’s a must-go for my team.
New Zealand are struggling and Mennenga is going down with this ship. Dropped a heap of cash already and you would’ve planned to hold into this double. You can’t afford to lose this cash. Move on now!
I have him at an expected score of 85. Go with what you know. One dark green matchup in Illawarra and a light green in New Zealand. You also have him for next week’s double.
Safe as houses, he’s the most expensive player in the game playing against Illawarra who have struggled defensively and New Zealand, where it’s hard to see anyone who could defend him. Bryce Cotton of the 36ers in action during the round two NBL match between Perth Wildcats and Adelaide 36ers at RAC Arena, on September 24, 2026, in Perth, Australia.
The community experts have spoken ahead of Round 3, which tips off tomorrow night, with one name clearly dominating the conversation. There is no debate when it comes to the captaincy, with all four experts backing six-time MVP Bryce Cotton ahead of his double-game round against Illawarra and New Zealand.
