Of course Waz and Will for us, but away from our team..

Donavon Monroe - Just to see if the Gong can pull off a hat trick of top point guard imports.

Jerai Grant - Purely because of the name.

I think the anticipation of seeing how these imports perform is the exciting aspect of the new season. Every team has some guns....

Williamson and Warren I am very interested in seeing how they go. Im glad we have gone for an import big.

Grant, Ratsch and Bose the new additions to Sydney (I know Bose is an Oz citizen) will be exciting to watch.

Plenty to look forward to!

Cairns imports. Did they fluke it last year or do Beecroft & Fearne have a flare for it now?

Agreed this years crop is pretty cheap and not making me rush out to buy tickets anytime soon. I was really looking forward to seeing salim stoudamire when I thought the breakers were going to get him.

I love the excitement of new imports, especially the ones with NBA experience. It saddens me that the import in our league is becoming a role player rather than a main attraction. We have not seen a big dunking import here in the moulds of Copeland, Trimmingham, Mike Mitchell, Dwayne McClain I feel here for a while.

I am pretty impressed with the import crop this year, only Gold Coast have really gone the role player route. Wilson and Williamson were both very good in a good European league last year so probably most looking forward to seeing them play.

You never really know who is going to boom or bust though.

I think ex-NBA imports just leave too many opportunities for disappointment. Look at guys like Orien Greene or Awvee Storey. They weren't horrible, but not exactly brilliant either.

Anon thats just ridiculous. Did you not see the way the league was heading two seasons ago? Putting 1 above the salary cap would still lead to teams dieing out.

To get guys who absolutely stand out in today's NBL the salary cap excemption would need to be a lot more than the salary cap!!

Perhaps a "Marquee Player", similar to the A League scenario would be the way to go. However, there are not the $$$ in Basketball as there are in Soccer.

Teams like Cairns and Wollongong aren't even spending the salary cap now!

I'm looking forward to Gill, Grant, Jackson & Wilson

I'm looking forward to seeing how Cedric Jackson pans out and if Wilkinson can back up last years form.

@ DJ Rod, add your crocs to that list also!

teams like... hello!?!

Ebi Ere was exciting to watch.
He'd either dish out some athletic dunks and put up some jump shots. Entertaining bloke.

Also, we've had drawcard players without a marquee player rule. Maybe not every team, but Hodge, Powell, Ervin, Homicide, etc.

Carlos Powell.

I personally enjoy each season seeing new imports for all teams both good and ordinary as never know who is going to step up or not .
Been some shockers over years in League and for Sixers especially over last few years with last year
" Air Ball Stars ' Shannon and Howard stand outs.
My favourite Sixer imports being Rose --Mee and going back Davis and Green but also loved Neon Leon for his amazing dunks.
Have real hope for this years imports as surely due to get one right

Dwayne Nelson was always exciting.
