ABA import deduction for NBL clubs?
devils posted this within a topic on the OzHoops boards:
I know the points reduction is a topical issue, but I think for some import players keen to paly in australia and make the it to NBL level through the NBL (Mod: I think they mean ABL) should be given a reduction.So, here's the idea - normal imports coming into the NBL are rated a 10. Imports who complete a full season in an ABA competition (WA, Big V, SEABL, QABL, Central ABL, NZ NBL even?) are rated as an 8 should they get picked up by an NBL team the following year.
Shawn Redhage is one example of a player who has taken that road. There may be a few prospects from the NZ NBL too.
This would give teams more points to spend on Australian players and potentially increase the level of talent/imports at ABA level.
Thoughts?
