NZ NBL 2014 Off-Season Rate Card (South Island)

Brett Brown started coached in the NZBL

Maybe the ANBL needs to be shortened to a 4month format aswell?

Generally, we don't get the same level of import talent in the NZNBL as the NBL. With that being said, there have been quite a few imports who have played in both leagues (Crowe, Wethers, Braswell, Rickert, Tucker, Andrew Warren, Maxey, Pace, Conklin etc.)

I think the NZNBL punches way above its weight in terms of attracting quality imports.

One advantage may be the length of the season.

Season starts April and finishes in June.

3 month season, and teams often allow imports to come in only a month or even a few weeks before the season.

So they can come here and the pay is very good when you average it out to 4 months work.

ANBL season goes from October to April (7 months), throw in the fact that imports may have to come out 2 or so months before the season, and it effectively means they are working for 9 months. Which could prevent them getting other deals during the year.

They were good enough to get a run with some NBA teams. Good to see them coming to the NZ NBL....which is a heck of a lot smaller (in every way) than its Australian counterpart...
