The 25-year-old centre most recently played for \u017dalgiris in Lithuania and has also played for Partizan in Serbia after four years at St Mary\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian Boomer would slot right into United\u2019s roster and coach Dean Vickerman has revealed the club has the paperwork ready for him to sign \u2013 if he is willing to do so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would love to have him, there is a contract there for him and we hope we sort it out pretty quickly,\u201d Vickerman told <em>NBL Overtime.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would like to see something happen this week either way. Otherwise the timing of it to try and get someone else on a plane and do those kind of things at the start of the season is going to be a battle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we can in any way have it cleared up by the end of the week it would be amazing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJock Landale is a talented kid and we have been so fortunate to have had him for the past couple of months in our practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vickerman believes Landale will play a vital role for the Australian Boomers at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and preparing him for that tournament is a key piece to Melbourne\u2019s sales pitch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have sold to him that we believe the Olympics is such a massive thing, he can play such a big part in it, that we think we are the best preparation for him to go and really have an amazing Olympics,\u201d Vickerman said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf that leads him to the NBA or to where he wants to get to after that, or if he stays here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>United signed star import Scotty Hopson this week, with the 2020\/21 NBL season to tip-off in mid-January.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Australian big man to sign in NBL?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":145,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[128],"tags":[],"rumors":[134],"typology":[21],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-186584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-australia","rumors-basket-rumors","typology-rumors"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
