The NBL are putting lots of photos from it up on Instagram if anyone is interested. Looks nicely done - nice uniforms, etc.

Just finished yesterday, NBL will probably put up an article if not already. Check Boti's site too, he might write up something interesting.

A few SEABL/Big V guys there, IMO some may get pencilled in as potential injury replacement or budget 3rd import. Chris Kaba if anyone familiar with him wasn't doing too bad.

Sam Froling looks good, he's grown a bit 6'10" or 11" now. Looks like he'll be one of those we may never see play in NBL, maybe as a DP but probably not. Once he bulks up a bit he's definitely Europe or NBA bound.

Other young players out there SA folks here will know is Alex Mudronja. Also saw Lat Mayen, wonder what happens with his TCU commit? Some ex-NBL like Indiana Faithful was there as well.

The Indian players look ok, Amritpal and Amjyot the two standouts. Both athletic and have NBL potential, hard to tell if they can translate their game. Amritpal plays a bit like Matt Hodgson. Amjyot plays like Craig Moller.

Heard that Danny Kordahi was working with their Indian agent to get them here. He was the co-owner of the Kings with that Firepower bloke, just before they folded.

It's not for college players who have high visibility on TV. This is for players who otherwise NBL coaches are in the dark about.

I think you'd find most college players don't get high exposure on TV!

A lot more than young players, state league players or imports who graduated years ago, however.

Thought Benny Lewis had a role being MU's premier injury replacement?

On the back of the Combine Jeremy Loeliger speaks aout about the NBL's improvements in attracting athletes again. Warning Paywall might win.

Saw the article on the NBL website about testing. Does anyone have access to the overall results for my (everyone's) perusal or is this as closely guarded secret as Col. Sanders' 11 secret herbs and spices?

And, yes, I did a cursory Internet search on this.
