Could Marques Whippy play NBL?

I saw this guy Marques Whippy play at Brisbane in the SEABL. Fijian. Strong body. Good defense. Could be interesting for some NBL teams as he can play as australian. Comes off an injury, so he's not at 100% yet I guess.

Did anyone else see him play already?

Being Fijian is he classified as an import or local?

All pacific islanders/ocania players should be classified as locals, not that they would set the world on fire but it would be silly to not be able to bolster an NBL team with someone from the region.

I would like - nay demand - that his middle name begin with 'r' so we can proceed full speed to the MR Whippy jokes.

As a local, he'd be a solid pick up for a budget team like the Hawks.

Do any court announcers have Greensleeves on their play list?
