The NZ NBL was the greatest league of all.

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

[NZhoops @NZ_hoops]

The Wellington Saints announced their first import - Kerwin Roach - and seemingly then accidentally revealed their second as well. Both with solid pedigree.

[NZhoops @NZ_hoops]

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

[NZhoops @NZ_hoops]

Tis an interesting debate whether NBL imports should be allowed into New Zealand but a much funnier solution is Grant Robertson looking at film to decide whether a player is good enough to get an exemption

[Sam Garriock @Sam_Garriock]

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.

The Breakers get a new part-owner who played college ball at Indiana and now they have a new "assistant coach" who was a student manager/video guy at.... Indiana!

Latest on Breakers, including a surprise addition as an assistant coach...

@DavidSampsonNZ1 Yep, probably confusion on reporter's part

[NZhoops @NZ_hoops]

Interesting news but also claims that Oladipo now owns Spark Arena - lol - and that his business manager anticipates running operations which would also be extremely surprising.

2021 high major prospect Taine Murray out of New Zealand has cut his list down to three, he tells @247Sports. || Story: https://t.co/Idala5yssv

It's baffling that both Yanni Wetzell and Max Darling are going to be in the NBL and the Breakers ended up with Dan Trist.

What do we think Breaker Nation... New Zealand as the hub of the NBL this season? #UNBREAKABLE @NBL

Shoutout to Tim McTamney. I didn't think either coach would have the balls to do it but tanking this game is absolutely the right play.

Inbox: Yanni Wetzell, a Kiwi big-man out of San Diego State, has signed a two-year deal with the South East Melbourne Phoenix. The second year of the deal is a player option.

MVP:

1) Tom Vodanovich
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.
