Perry is a question mark under pressure.Looking forward to seeing Wilbekin.

Now that Montreal is out I would g loo with Perry or Craig for worst import.
Wilbiken is ahead of the pack imo and Conklin has impressed.

I would have said Perry prior to last weekend but he played quite well vs Cairns. Craig hasn't had a particularly good season except for the first weekend, but his team is 6 and 0 so he's got time to settle in.

From start to finish I'd go with:

Wilbekin
Conklin
Jackson
Childress
Beal
McRae
Carson
Wilson
Ervin
Daniels
Gladness
Ibekwe
Montreal
Dennis
Perry
Craig

Gladness though not the worst import probably the biggest disappointment for mine.

Good list there Paul.
Conklin having great season.
Dennis not quite where he should be still recovering from injury and Daniels not doing as well as hoped but has shown flashes of better things to come.

I think if Gladness continues to lead the league in rebounding and blocks the Crocs will be happy. He doesn't really have any history as a scorer.

I love how Conklin has improved his floor game to become a powerful but mobile PF and not just an undersized centre.

Happy Days, Cairns played Melbourne in round 1 and was on FTA. That's how I know Wilbekin is an absolute beast.

Montreal and Craig have played within their skill levels and role for two successful teams to date. I don't rate Perry at all: his performance against Perth was Showron-Glover-esque.

Dennis and Daniels should improve as the season goes on. Hopefully Gladness does too, as I expected him to be a game-changer defensively, if not a prolific scorer.

Out of interest, my top 16 locals so far would be:

Worthington
Gibson
Martin
Webster
Redhage
Markovic
Creek
Loughton
Blanchfield
Vukona
Abercrombie
Weigh
Steindl
Schenscher
Tragardh
Madgen

I think Rhys Martin, Motum, Knight, Petrie and Gliddon could challenge for a spot in there as the year goes on.

Ibekwe further up the list IMO.

He has been influential and single-handedly won the Breakers games.

I'd have no problem with that, although his role does limit how big a contributor he can be on a regular basis. I think it's a pretty tight run thing after the first four imports.

Torrey Craig should be a bit further up the list.

Ervin too me hasn't been too special. In fact, I'd have him in the bottom four.

His last few games have been special, but for a large chunk of the season he was ineffective and at times, downright terrible.

Ervin's last 5-6ish games have been good. Not silly to rank this sort of thing on recent games.

His first five games were very good, his next six he struggled badly while injured, his next three were decent and his last five-game stint has been exceptional overall.

Childress
McRae
Jackson
Conklin
Wilbekin
Beal
Wilson
Ibekwe
Ervin - crap games in the middle partly due to injury pushed him down a few spots.
Daniels
Gladness
Carson
Craig - Would be higher if he played more minutes.
Dennis
Montreal
Perry

The standard has been very good this year.
