Meet the Skyforce! Sioux Falls Announces Opening Day Roster
The Sioux Falls Skyforce continue their preparations for the start of the season, as they prepare to play their first game on Saturday.
On Thursday afternoon, the team announced its opening day roster.
As usual, it's a great mix of veterans and youngsters, and the team aims to stay very competitive once again in the G-League this season.
New Head Coach Dan Bisaccio takes over this season after longtime Head Coach Kasib Powell departed Sioux Falls to take a job with the Miami Heat.
Here is the roster for Saturday's season opener:

| 8 | Josh Christopher ^ | G | 6-4 | 215 | 12/8/01 | Arizona State | Two-Way |
| 10 | Caleb Daniels | G | 6-4 | 210 | 5/17/99 | Villanova | Returning |
| 16 | Keshad Johnson ^ | F | 6-7 | 225 | 6/23/01 | Arizona | Two-Way |

| 2 | Malik Williams | C | 6-11 | 250 | 8/26/98 | Louisville | Returning |
It's pretty cool to say we have area representation on the roster this season, as Tre King, an Iowa State alum, joins the team via tryout.
Newly acquired Tony Snell is the most veteran player on the roster, as he joins the team at the age of 32 (will be 33 this weekend).
In all, there are 7 members of the 13-man roster that are under the age of 24.
The season opener for Sioux Falls' G-League squad is Saturday against the Iowa Wolves in Des Moines. The home opener isn't far away, as the team plays host to Iowa next Tuesday night at the Sanford Pentagon.
