If the first and best thing a coach can say about an import (or any player, really) is "effort", that's a colossal red flag.
Anyway, that's enough takes for the month, this account will now just sporadically retweet Charlisse Leger-Walker highlights, ty
The Wellington Saints announced their first import - Kerwin Roach - and seemingly then accidentally revealed their second as well. Both with solid pedigree.
On a related note - the Sharks must be low on funds because they've signed some seriously middling journeymen. Not usually a franchise you expect to see poking around the German second division. Rams and Saints imports >>> Sharks imports >>>> The dumbfounding Nuggets signing

The first three officially named NZ NBL imports: pretty good!
The next two: uhhhh we might have to add to the Joe Slocum and Anthony Odunsi group of worst imports ever signed to the league.

2) Derone Raukawa
3) Taylor Britt
4) Marcel Jones
5) Jarrod Kenny
Vodanovich has a huge gap over the field, travesty if he does not win. 47% on almost 10 3PA per game, monster on the glass & his length covers up for the Jets abhorrent defensive backcourt.
