NBL Missing Faces of 2014/15
Who are the Australians who were on rosters last season as either regular or development players that aren't in the league this year?

Alister McDonald From Tigers is one that comes to mind, solid SEABL Season, Better than Greg Page who is on United's List.

Big Ben Allen's luck finally runs out.
Oh well, managed to steal a couple of hundred k before his pro career was done. All power to him...
Some others
Mathiang Muo, Perth
Russell Hinder, Townsville
Shane Harris-Tunks, Wollongong
AJ Ogilvy, Sydney
Kyle Armour, Sydney
Tommy Greer, Melbourne
CJ Bruton, New Zealand
DP Daniel Sims, Adelaide
So where is Allen working now, at the hair salon?

7-8 new jobs next year with Brisbane. Maybe more at the same time or beyond that. A few or these players will find jobs as a result.
Having a look at Ben Allen's SEABL stats for Mt Gambier this year they probably speak to why he can't make an NBL team.
13.7ppg, 8.0rpg, 52% FG, 23% 3p, 54% FT
In his 23 games he went 30/129 on 3pts as bad as that is he attempted 196 field goals for the season with 129 of them being 3pt attempts!

yet he has made 2 3balls in successive seasons in do or die games
Yes the detractors forget how important he was to the Pioneers success in the last 2 seasons.

So whats the fallout regarding James Harvey? Is he injured, did he retire, was he released?
A pretty good player to just fade out of the league.

He made it known that he wouldn't sign anywhere else but Sydney. Sydney didn't re-sign him so he's out of the league.

Anon What gives you the right to totally misrepresent the statistics to support your own prejudice. Your information is not even close to correct. Ben Allen had a very good season with the Pioneers.13.8 ppg and 8.3 rpg shooting the ball at 48.9% and 31% from three 78.6%ft. 80 of his 323 field goal attempts were threes.

Seems like a fair point to me. The original post of Ben Allen's stats are way off.

Harvey was what 34, 35 years old anyway. His time was just about up.
Didnt quite have the decorated career that he probably could have.

Other than ladies darts, Mick never played sport at any level
On Ben Allen's stats, I took them from here and Eurobasket/Australiabasket have always seemed to be legit?

As you can see I didn't misrepresent a single statistic.
