plenty more these guys are all guns who could be playing overseas if they wanted but choose to play in the nbl to increase popularity etc.

thought this would get more discussion and analysis here from the basketball brethren.

how can you be sure they choose to play here? if given the chance they'd play in the NBA or Europe surely?

whilst i agree shenscher is overrated, he has played about 40 nba games for bulls and blazers, they dojt give that to u. and the fact nbl teams dont want him much shows its a quality league here, stop bagging it.

fine, he played some in the NBA. I stand corrected.

so do nbl teams want him or not? is he an nbl gun or not?

Saw him in game 2 of the NBL Grand Final. My best descriptions would be shithouse, boring, useless, and incredibly annoying. He'd have his back pushing against the defender, yelling for the ball and waving his arms around, but got absolutely nowhere with it. I actually wanted to kick his head in that night.

LMFAO at naming all the NBL guns and not including Kirk Penney. For all the badmouthing NBL gets im fairly sure if Penney was a bit more black and American he has the shooting to get a bench role on a few NBA teams. Anyone see the numbers he was putting up in the D League. Was destroying it and then some

I thought Arenas had joined the NBL or somethin.

He has twice as many guns as the NBL.

Why do people on this board feel the need to bad mouth the NBL?
Everybody knows it's not a great standard but as supporters of basketball I find it strange that many of you on this board continually bag the league and the quality. The league needs support from people that are fans of basketball for it to flourish and return to the glory days.

 

[Portmanteau]

It is actually a very good league, probably behind the major European leagues - Spain, Greece, Italy - in terms of quality, so to suggest players are scraping the barrel if they come out here is just wrong, particularly when you account for the lifestyle factor.

agreed. bball is massive in europe and actually closing in on the nba with their euroleague. nbl is a respected league. just look at the playing rosters to date and you will know what i mean.

i can see alot of big name american players coming here in the future due in large to the fact we speak english. so yeah we are probably worlds no.2 english speaking league.

also id say we are ahead of the south american leagues also standard wise for top 10.

goes something like this:

nba
euroleague
spanish league
greek league
italian league
australian nbl
french league
argentinian league
russian league
d-league (nba feeder comp)
