Jackson, Simpson, Grant. In that order, are the best 3 imports from the new crop this season.

Wilkinson, Lisch and Ubaka are still outstanding from the past few seasons and hopefully can be secured indefinately in this league. Naturally you hope the respective clubs they are with keep a hold of them, but in the worst case; make sure they have a home in the NBL for a long time.

Dorsey, Deleon, A.Warren and Ratzsch are in that Yo-Yo category for me, of being decent players but just not being consistent.

Everyone will say that Dorsey is a good player and his finals performance last year should demonstrate his value; but honestly, I think he needs to be far more aggressive and drive more. I've seen too many games where he jacks up 3's from some stupid locations.

Dorsey is averaging 15+ PPG over his last five games. Deleon is also doing fine.

I think A Warren, Ratzsch and Catron are the yo-yos. Glover probably lucky to hold a spot.

C Warren has gaps in his game, but is a good enough shooter. I'd consider him for next season, but it'd depend on what was around.

Simpson is great and I would be putting an offer to him now to lock him in, almost to the detriment of any other contract on the roster.

If I were to rank them:
Jackson Best allround player.
Lisch Has really stepped up this year.
Simpson If he could shoot free throws, he'd be number 1.
Wilkinson Still a very reliable scorer.
Wilson Has been close to the best in the last month.
Warren Brilliant offensively, terrible defensively.
Grant Does a lot more than his stats suggest.
Deleon Very flashy, but can break down any defense.
Ubaka Didn't do much with Mills in the side. Will be much higher when the season is over.
Gill Very experienced leader. Not great offensively, but has his moments.
Dorsey Needs to do more, but can break a game open if he gets going.
Catron Lacks in polish, but a big body that can score inside.
Mims More of a complimentary import. Does a lot of things well, but doesn't have that game winning ability those above have.
Hudson Started well but has lost his groove with Petrie back in the side.
Warren Ridiculously inconsistent. Has been pretty good the last month though.
Ratzsch Had 1 good game against us, can't see him lasting the season.
Glover Must have been cheap. He hardly plays and doesn't do anything.

short, sharp and to the point Hendo!

Can only comment on the few I've seen:

Jamar Wilson - Quick, but weak and undersized, flops a lot, ugly jumper. His game depends on whether the refs are falling for his flops. Can get to the rim but has trouble finishing over contact. Has improved as the season has progressed.
Andrew Warren – Has the game of an aged 2 guard (think Michael Finley for the Spurs) – camps, camps, and camps some more. Does nothing else.

Gill – Vocal leader, great at coming up with a bucket or a foul out of nothing. Needs to get teammates involved more early on. Dribbles too much (resulting in turnovers). Huge ego which needs to be kept in check constantly. Forces the issue and ends up with egg on his face too often. Has to be careful not get sucked into every single "PG Duel" because with all the quality 1s in this league at the moment, it’s going to hurt his team.
Mims – a complimentary player – great stealer, ridiculous length. Needs to look to attack more and not rely so much on his sweet jumper. Can probably outjump anyone in the NBL straight up and down, but doesn’t use it enough other than to elevate for his jumper or for tip in dunks. Look for him to play a bigger part now the NBL has publicly conceded he has been treated a little harshly by the officials.

Showron Glover – as useless as he sounds
Jaevon Catron – fat, but quick with a great touch around the basket. Legitimate frontcourt scorer with a variety of moves and soft hands. Great footwork, but travels a lot. And, yeah, he’s fat.

Adris Deleon – tiny and weak like Wilson, but finds a way to score. Forces the issue a little. Decent passer especially for a guy with a streetball background.
Other GC import – useless

I seem to recall , from 3 games on TV at the weekend
late at nite that Mims was the best. Subbed out, of course and Catron was good with Mims on the bench.
Grant is good to watch and Ratzch struggling badly.
Others only moderate. Would've been good to see Simpson and whether he'll be POTW.
Well, we learned Lisch to naturalise.

I disagree with the proposition that this is 'one of the weakest import pools in the history of the competition'.

I have been highly impressed by the standard of import play this season, which I think is the best crop of imports we have seen out here for a number of years.

gee grant is exciting to watch isnt he. i hope they work with him and he can grow and doesnt stale and rely on that athleticism forever. but wow, love watching him, has some energy about him. i actually think this has been a very good year for imports, while some havent worked out there are a few who could stick around for many years.

how much are the gong suffering for not having someone of " damn forgot his name but you know him" calibre. that pg import they had. damn mental blank.

wilkinson is a great shooter. seems pretty vanilla for a guy with some bulk though.

ervin

I agree Grant has a great upside but for an import???

If imports didn't average 20ppg a few years back they would be gone in a second.

Have we now become an import nursery for young pro's who develop their game and then leave?

Tyndale must be spewing he din't come a couple of years later

Tyndale was crap! Used to wear his shorts higher than Schensher too.

He had some moments and some talent, but some of his decisions and fumbles were so bad. He wasnt ready to be a pro import at that stage, and didnt really set the world on fire in Germany either. Wonder if he's still playing?
