Are NBL rosters too deep?

A lot of imports coming here would love to play the whole game.

In fact, they can get annoyed if they get given too much rest.

They come from the College System where they play weekends and weekdays including travel and they get worked really hard even in in-season practices.

So for a lot of them, mostly playing 1 game each weekend is childs play. Probably not even in HS did they see such a spread out schedule.

I like the idea of paying bench guys less i.e. not getting top dollar guys for yor second unit.

These guys aren't training 40hrs a week and im sure they could fit in a part timejob (20 hours a week) during the season to supplement their income.

And during the off-season they could work more hours.

NZ have done it well...those guys work for their NZNBL teams in the offseason for bloody good money considering its only a 4 month season. That gives guys like Mika, Webster,Te Rangi and Trueman the chance to take a paycut for the Breakers.

with a lot of European Teams not paying Imports, the NBL will become a stronger option for guys leaving College over the next couple of years as long as teams like Townsville can find some financial stability.

There are decent players that can't make NBL rosters and some playing in Europe instead of getting a reduced role... Simply we haven't got enough teams and if we had 10 and this question came up I'd like to see a stud import, but for now I'm happy with 10 deep teams
