#NBLxNBA @MelbUnitedHQ have enlisted the services of ex-@BrooklynNets forward Cory Jefferson for their game against the @sixers.

He will fill in for the injured Josh Boone, who we will hopefully see back in action for game two vs the @Raptors https://t.co/4n3zhhedVY

I'd prefer them to just go with the squad they have, but at least its just one ring in import this season

Remember they had all sorts of wannabe imports playing last time from the state leagues.
Rather they use additional Aussie talent or just go with the two import as a ring in for 1 game can't be great from chemistry
And weren't the ring-ins for United last time pretty terrible (in a game they just barely lost with OKC playing their stars starter minutes!). Probably trying to impress NBA front offices and trying to 'get their's' rather than trying to win games. Waste of time. NBL teams should be using it to prepare for regular season.
Yes those ring-ins potentially cost Melbourne an NBA win!
