The player points cap is holding us back

The player points cap is subjective, but the NBL is a small-market league with small market franchises comprising (for the most part) small market players.

Cedrick Jackson, Michael Dunigan etc wouldn't stay in Australia if the quality was better; they would stay because they could earn to their potential.. The successful imports don't last long because they can't earn as much in the NBL as they can elsewhere, not because they are rated as 10-point players...

If the league is going to increase market share in Australia its going to happen through savvy promotion of basketball and the league in Australia, and through an increase in domestic talent.

Perth and New Zealand are virtually the only teams disadvantaged by the player points cap, while Cairns, Townsville, Wollongong and likely even Adelaide RELY on it. Would a future 2-4 team league be considered a "boom"?

These reoccurring PPC threads should just be deleted - OP's have NFI.
