Dave Barlow on the state of basketball in Europe

Yes, and now it's someone talking from experience having played in both, so what's your point?

Also raving about the 6 figure salaries ignores the big question mark around actually being paid that amount. I know the NBL has had it's share of moments where player's did not get paid, but compare that with the amount of horror stories you hear from imports in the various European leagues.

I think young players should go play in Europe if that's their dream, all Barlow is doing in this article is trying to make it clear that it's not exactly all a lot of them expect it to be.

I didn't expect to see Goulding back this year TBH, and I would love to see his thoughts on the experience he had last year.

This was before he ended up being crap over in Europe, Supernintendo Chalmers, and realised that he'd be lucky to fool an NBL team into giving him decent dollars...

How are the SA teams looking for the East Coast Challenge in Sydney in January ? NSW have named the strongest list since the tournament's beginnings, not sure how the Vics, SA or ACt look. I expect the Vics to have a decent list.
