Beal > Ervin. Touch and go with most of them, mind you.

11 of these 16 imports have yet to play a single game so perhaps these rankings are a bit premature.
LMFAO at fstos you crack me up.

I think Ekene Ibekwe at 29, having played 4 years at Maryland before heading to Spain, Turkey & Israel as an Import along with International experience (was an Olympian in 2012) and 4 seasons of NBA Summer League experience under his belt is ranked a little low against a lot of young kids who are about to play their first pro season against grown men.

You're right Mystro - Rotnei Clarke and James Ennis struggled in their first pro season that they were voted the 2 best players in the league.

Ibekwe is going to be coming off the bench for the Breakers, not much danger of him setting the league on fire.

I do think a few of these guys are going to be excellent pickups for their teams and exciting to watch by all means.
Ebekwe we will be coming off the bench behind a legit 7ft centre who has established himself in the league and will compliment NZ's roster well.

Watched the SEC championship game Kentucky vs Florida and can't believe that Wilbekin won't be playing in the NBA. Great defender, passer, 3pt shooter and leader. Looking forward to seeing him play for Cairns.

I don't want to be That Guy, but Beal in 9th, behind Ervin?

That just doesn't make sense to me. I think their respective finals performances showed it should be the other way around.

"Ibekwe is going to be coming off the bench for the Breakers, not much danger of him setting the league on fire."

played 4 years NCAA at Maryland, played 4 seasons of NBA Summer League, Played in Germany, Spain Turkey & Israel.
So under your expert Anon rationale he won't be very good because he may play off the bench behind Pledger?
