Just wondering if anyone knows where any of these ex NBL players are playing now. In brackets is the team they played for last in the NBL.
Michael Kingma (Pirates)
Chris Williams (Kings)
Charles Thomas (36ers)
Kevin Freeman (Bullets)
Roland Roberts (Kings)
Sedric Webber (Kings)
Matt Illman (36ers)
Rich Melzer (Breakers)
Rich Melzer didn't make the final spurs roster i don't think....Kevin Freeman is playing professionally in China. i think charles thomas has retired...he was getting on a bit

Charles Thomas played for Solna Vikings in the Swedish league, i think he has now retired.

I just heard that Melzer was realeased from the Spurs after playing a few pre season games, so he didnt get the chance to play in the proper season.

Interesting that CT's CV states that he assisted his Australian coach with offense and defensive stratagies.....say what???

Serious?
CT was the shittest import the Sixers ever had. He was to selfish.
However, i did love the match that he played V Tigers. Awesome match!

123abc what the hell you on about that he was selfish? He must have had about 5-6 assist per game. He wasn't a terrible import at all infact he had some really good numbers. It was just unfortunet he was compared with Mee and Farley, two of the better sixer imports. Just for the record i didnt like him particularly but still he wasn't a bad import theres alot worse.
"CT was the shittest import the Sixers ever had. He was to selfish." What a load of rubbish 123abc. I remember heaps of games where charlie was dished out heaps of assists. Sometimes it seemed he passed to much.

sorry about the double post, something screwed up.

When i watched him, he tried to do too much, too many flashy passes aswell.

I agree with 123abc, he was easily the worst import we've had for quite some time.
And to whoever posted 'And if he is so shit, why did he play in the NBA?', I highly doubt he actually PLAYED, and if he did, well than he obviously didn't do very well if he only lasted two years...

123abc, your right about flashy passes, but I still reckon he was a good player. I might just point out to twenty four and any other Charlie haters that you have to be bloody good just to make an NBA roster at all.

Unfortunately CT arrived with a severe heart condition - that noone was aware of until it was too late. Farley came down with the same problem last year. Not as rare as thought .. seems the heart just "disappears" overnight, and nothing can be done to replace it ..
