✕ AVOID

Eric Hipwood remains sidelined through Round 3 with no average posted, leaving that promising 44-point BE and $302.3k price tag in limbo. The intel is green and Brisbane's thin forward depth is a real opportunity, but injured players can't generate cash. Avoid for now — revisit the moment he's named and cleared to play.
