Players overseas capable of playing NBL

Outside of the NBA guys, who are the players that have the capabilities (in the current NBL) to play as locals that are currently playing overseas? With an extra team next year, they need to find at least 8 players
A few...

EUROPE
Jonah Bolden
Ryan Broekhoff
Brock Motum
Mitch McCarron
Ben Madgen
Will McDowell-White
Mirko Djeric ?
Luke Nevill ?
Venky Jois?
Anatoly Bose?
Ater Majok?

NORTH AMERICA
D-League
Mangok Matthiang

College Seniors or early entrants
Jock Landale
Deng Adel (likely D-league)
Jo Lual-Acuil (likely d-league)
Xavier Cooks
Chima Moneke
Sam McDaniel
Emmett Naar
Duop Reath
Matur Maker

Are all of these guys up to it?
Are there any others that would be eligible (not continuing in college)

Vandenberg was not even effective at SEABL level.

^^ I agree on Vandenberg. He played some preseason games for United last year and he was awful. There is no chance he ever gets a gig

Isaac Humphries, having gone to Europe to play was left off the list

He is big and takes up space, but that is where his talents end. Needs to work MUCH harder to take the next step. Amazing he went to summer league with the Knicks

Tom Wilson is another in Europe but looks like he has signed with Sydney

Wilson isn't in Europe, he is in Australia playing with Andrew and the Tigers at SEABL level. And yes, he is going to Sydney

Vandenberg & Duinker have both played in the NBL with the Kings and didn't look up to this level especially Vandenberg.

Nevill struck me as a headless chicken. Could get an NBL job, but I don't know if I'd want him on my team. Djeric is serviceable but can presumably get more over there than an NBL team might offer him.

What about Daniel Trist? Playing LEB Gold in Spain. Whilst not top flight, you'd have to think it's still a high quality league (averaging 11 & 5).

Djeric is playing in the Serbian league, not even the ABA league, so it's second tier. The money in Serbia and Croatia is very, very pour as in lots of euro leagues now unless you’re in the top division and then the nbl is around the same money. The euro cup and euro leagues teams are on the big money. Newley, Anderson, Barlow, Nielsen made great money by playing in euro cup/league anything below that the nbl is comparable.

All members of the Lebanese national team, chinese national team, phillipnes national team etc are eligible.

Then throw in Satnam Singh, guys with Guam passports and a few Korean guys.

Tai Webster - I see his team are just barely in the playoff top eight at the moment. Does anyone with more in depth knowledge of the Bundesliga know how well he is doing apart from the stats? Apart from the top teams my understanding is the Bundesliga lower teams are worse than NBL.
