Australian players in europe

i was just thinking while looking at the aussie hoops america site how many aussies are there playing in europe. I could think of several off the top of my head but i thought there must be many more.

Neil mottram, Fabriano (Italy)
Matthew Nielsen, Lietuvos Rytas(Lithuania)
Daniel Kickert, Livorno (Italy)
Alex Loughton, Valencia (Spain)
Stephen Black, Angelico Biella(Italy)
Steven Markovic, Red Star Belgrade (Serbia)
David Anderson, CSKA Moscow(Russia)
Wade Helliwell, Sebastiani (Italy)
Michael Kingma, Sweden?

Also does anyone have any idea what these guys would be earning, i mean does the nbl salary cap really have any room to entice any of these guys back to Oz

The Wookie??? (Kingma - HaHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA...) - Is that a trick question...

Short answer is probably - NO... Most of these guys are probably playing under EU Passports which makes them more valuable - therefore worth paying a bit more for... That "bit" being way more than what they would get in OZ (plus they get to live in exotic/interesting locales)...
