Two, let the sides that finish in last three spots in a ten team league get three the following season.

Exempt from cap
2 imports
1 drafted stash player(u23) or 1 Asian player(any age) or 1 nba prospect
1 marquee Aussie/kiwi

Under Cap - 1.3 mill currently.
7 Aussie/kiwi
3 Aussie/kiwi dp

3 with Jackjumpers coming in as the talent will be a bit stretched with some players returning to Europe post pandemic. They also need to sort out the Next Star Draft Stash issue.

Talent won't be stretched, you’ll see lots of players will come home.

2 imports is enough going forward.
Would give Tasmania and this years wooden spoon team 3 imports for 21/22.

Would be alternating the teams that get next stars. Still some teams that haven't had them yet.

Look at a South American player exception so that Sydney can keep Didi as a local.... ok the last one is taking the piss but the first two points look good.

Why would you give special treatment to teams lol

On Didi first up performance he's going to nbl1, nba lol.

its clear that 3 imports would improve the league as the current standard of the locals is at its lowest point since the 80's!

2 imports however creates more opportunity for younger locals (hopefully) which hopefully means we find a few more along the way.

The naturalized import part of Jazr comment is irrelevant.

Local standards at tail end of benches admittedly are low
Teys
Dillon
Blagojevic
Stephens
k White
J Bairstow
Jervis
Trist
amongst others.

Should go to 5 imports

Heard that they'll go back to 3 next season with Jackjumpers coming into play

The talent coming home will not be on the bench the only guys on the bench this season for locals are the older guys almost out

Having 3 imports doesn't hurt young talent

the reality is there is not enough good aussie talent for all of the clubs. You have heaps playing in Europe or in the NBA. So NBL has to focus on entertaining games with high quality play = 3 imports.

Next year these guys may no longer be playing:
* NEwley
* Kickert
* Wagstaff
* Jervis
* and more...

There are just not the calibre of young Australian product at NBL level that can replace these guys.

And yes we want 3 imports with cotton as you have a 13 thousand seat venue that the NBL needs to fill. Growth , media etc requires the big town teams to be successful.

#923

There is very few in Europe of any standard, the same applies to the nba. Yes there is a handful of quality but the others are no good. If you believe otherwise please name them.

That 2018/19 team was impressive.

Adelaide two imports this year, Illawarra end last season, Adelaide big last season, Brisbane last season, there are lots of others where imports are taking spots on good or better than average money and are useless. Even Gleeson has chopped them mid season. Five, six seasons ago the kings had Thornton , think that was his name, there have been more that don't cut it. Bottom price imports are not always better than locals.

2.

Paterson and Hopson with donuts, yes imports are good but two is enough. Ten man rosters plus next star if available. Good Australian kids might stay in Australia instead of college, two year contract to see if there nba or nbl players.

League will go back to 3 especially with the Jackjumpers coming into the ladder
