The Adelaide 36ers are making plans to improve their roster ahead of the NBL27 Free Agency period. With six-time MVP Bryce Cotton, Zylan Cheatham, Cameron, Isaac Humphries, Dejan Vasiljevic, Isaac White, Ben Griscti and Michael Harris already contracted, the team is looking to add defensive upgrades and re-sign core players. Adelaide 36ers GM of Basketball Matt Weston explained that the club is close to announcing the re-signing of another core player, with the contract currently being processed by the NBL. The team is also looking to deepen their roster, with a focus on improving their defense, which was a weakness last season. One key area of improvement is the addition of a long, athletic defender, which Bryce Cotton believes is essential for the team's success. The NBL27 Free Agency period opens on April 17, and the Adelaide 36ers are expected to be active in the market, with several key players, including John Jenkins, still to re-sign. The team is open to bringing Jenkins back, but may also look to fill the spot with someone else, depending on their priorities. With the Hungry Jack's 2026-27 season fast approaching, the Adelaide 36ers are looking to build on their recent success and make a deep run in the playoffs. The team's focus is on improving their defense and adding depth to their roster, which will be crucial in their quest for a championship. The Adelaide 36ers have a strong core of players, but need to add some key pieces to take their game to the next level. The NBL27 Free Agency period will be an important time for the team, as they look to shape their roster for the upcoming season.
