Canadian guard looking to play in australia

Lol @ the baskets.

The agency that successfully pitched that crap to Chemist Warehouse could sell Mexicans to Trump.

Tell him about the baskets...

How do we know you're actually Canadian, eh?

The baskets.

I'm just impressed that France has (at least) 5 divisions.

If Nick comes down here he needs to be aware that our electricity supply is 240VAC, and that if he sees Poutine on a menu, 19 times out of 20 it's nothing like proper Poutine.
Also don't forget to mention the baskets.

Once again Dazz you know nothing about what the expected / guaranteed pay is for imports. Tent and soup kitchens Dozzer. Get your hand off it and do some research bfore sprouting off about something you clearly don't know anything about.
Yes another Dazzism quote of the year. Tents and soup kitchens. Uck off.

The whole thing with Anons ripping on Dazz for every comment is so over done.


Nowhere in Nick's post did he suggest playing in the NBL straight out of a 5th tier French league. Anybody who's played the game has at some point had dreams of playing in a pro league, so all the power and luck to Nick!

yeah that's exactly why no state league teams have imports. oh wait

In a survey published a few years back, Perth was rated the most expensive city in the world (including rental or mortgage) and Sydney the most expensive excluding. Given the relative movement in the R/E and rental markets, I imagine Sydney would now top both.

Take it from somebody that has actually left their keyboard and travelled, lived and worked O/S. Including USA, Canada, and Europe. Australia is an expensive place to live without an Australian Income.

If an SBL team here offered Nick a gig and promised to find him a part-time job, great. Australia's a fantastic place, and he'll have a ball. But without the right visa and a job, he'll be living in a tent in his coach's back yard and eating in soup-kitchens.

"And Australia is a dreadfully expensive place to live." Please leave Dazz.

The NBL has ex NBA players in it.

We have an opening in our Monday night social team. we shoot a LOT of bricks and no one boxes out, so your rebounding numbers could sky rocket if you showed even a glimmer of motivation

I have no idea, but if you don't get any better suggestions, try the following:
Check out the various 2nd tier leagues listed here:
http://www.basketball.net.au/leagues/
identify the individual clubs, and email them your bio & highlights, and ask for feedback and advice.
The standards vary between those leagues, you might be at the right level for some, or you might at least get some helpful advice.

Keep in mind than none of those teams will pay you much at all, maybe a few hundred dollars a game, although many will try to set you up with a part-time job somewhere. (It will also depend on what type of visa you are able to get.)
And Australia is a dreadfully expensive place to live.

I'd sign you because of the dope track on your highlight tape

Playing French 5th division basketball is not remotely near NBL standard, you have no chance making NBL if your only good enough to play French 4th or 5th division. You'd have to be playing 2nd division at least. SEABL as well I don't think you would have any chance of making either. Maybe Big V 1st division and that's a maybe, try your luck in Big V 2nd division.

How can you hate Canadians?? They're so friendly!

Khazzouh after splitting the round 1-1 against bottom four teams:

Khazzouh had 29 points, nine rebounds and one block to dominate the Tigers, also shooting at 61% from the field (including 2-of-3 three-pointers) and nailing 5-of-6 free throws (83%).

The 209cm centre then backed up with 19 points, four rebounds and one block for the Kings as they came within a single basket of defeating the Gold Coast Blaze on the road on Sunday, 94-91. He made 7-of-13 shots from the field and was a perfect 4-of-4 from the line.

Others who were considered for the weekly award included Jacob Holmes (Adelaide), Stephen Weigh (Perth), Ronald Dorsey (Cairns), James Harvey (Gold Coast), Tyson Demos (Wollongong), Tim Coenraad (Wollongong), Ira Clark (Gold Coast), Thomas Abercrombie (New Zealand), Andre Brown (Perth), Gary Wilkinson (New Zealand) and Corey Williams (Melbourne).
