Points ratings of NZ NBL players?

Makes sense that they wouldn't group the NZNBL, SEABL etc. as a foreign league and allocate points accordingly because they are clearly inferior leagues.

In any event, the NZNBL is not really a "foreign league". If a NZer counts as a local in the NBL, then surely the NZNBL should be classified as a local league? (notwithstanding that non-NZers also play). Depends on the wording of "foreign" though i suppose.

Also, the NZNBL is starting to be beneficial for Australian players so it's not just for the benefit of NZ players. Blanchfield, Garlepp, Cadee have all benefitted from NZ stints and Kay will be the benefactor this season.

Yeah, I imagine that would have to be the case.

Peter John, yes & no. I guess it's whether they regard the NZ-NBL as a "national league" and have assigned ex players a defacto points rating (less than 8) or whether they simply ignore it, so players are rated as rookies.

I suspect the latter is the case, making Kenny a 1.

My curiosity was piqued because of speculation over Martin's contract status. It was reported prior to the season by Boti, that the Cats had released and then re-signed him to take advantage of his lower points, but if Kenny is only a 1 ten it wasn't necessary.

If he IS only a 1, I hope we got him on a multi-year contract! :-)

Not sure what people's problem is? I have simply asked a question.

Perhaps I wasn't clear about the question though, maybe I should improve the title. I'm referring to what point are allocated to somebody who has played in the NZ-NBL, not somebody who was simply born in NZ.

Under the rules, any non-specified foreign league is worth 8 points. (Subject to appeal.) Clearly that cannot be the case for NZ, so I wonder in the NBL has adopted a de-facto rating?

In Kenny's case (ignoring his one game trip to Germany) he got his degree in Auckland, so never attended a US college, so he wouldn't even get a 3 point rating from that.

I suspect that the NBL simply ignores the NZ-NBL status as a national league, which would make Kenny a 1 point player, but can anyone confirm?
