Palubinskis was the first Aussie to be drafted, but he never played a game in the NBA.

What do you mean "also"? His only success was his time with the Bulls. If it wasn't for them, he wouldn't be at the top of that list.

I know that. I am just wondering why you said he had the most success, and he also won some rings. His success was winning the rings!

Ricky Grace doesn't count, and i'm pretty sure he wasn't Australian when he played.

When did Ricky play NBA after he became an Aussie Melvin? I don't recall anything along those lines.

He played for Atlanta in 94, became an Aussie in 96.

Humpa, you should know better than that! Bogut is showing this season he is a very good player when fit. Gaze was too old and didn't get the opportunities when he was in the NBA, but was hardly a scrub or a bust. Andersen has performed pretty well in limited minutes as a rookie. Mills is highly likely to end up as a better NBA player than anyone on the list not named Bogut.

Beantown, Humpa hates Aussies in the NBA.
Sour grapes because he thinks he is better and should have made NBA on a guaranteed contract I think.
