A few more debutants again this week. We’re now up to 161 rookie priced players that have played a game this season and there’s every chance that number closes in on 180 before the season is over.
If you’re in need of a playing rookie Heath and Bazzo look like they have decent job security.

Any Intel on Horton’s JS please?
Pretty good I would think. He should play out the year with the position the team is in and the talent he has as he was a fairly high draft pick
