Imports from Europe
Interested to understand why NBL clubs don't pursue (or have success) in recruiting imports from Europe? We've seen the dramatic increase in Euros playing in the NBA and I'm surprised this hasn't been replicated in Australia.
While the top-end money offered in Europe would far exceed the bankroll of the NBL teams, I would imagine the NBL would be an attractive destination for many quality Euro players, nice lifestyle, warm and a quality league and a potential stepping-stone.
The only player that comes to mind is JP Tokoto, who is referred to as being French, however he's American.
