Big V naturalized australians

It’s not like it’s a national or even high level event, but probably the club should have more loyalty to locally grown players than trying to cash in on Americans who have now decided to call Australia home.
They are not exactly imports once they take up Australian citizenship, and their country of birth should not be held against them. But it’s harsh on those players who may have done the hard yards coming through junior ranks for that club or areas to then be set aside for an entire team of players who haven’t IMO.

Big V in past seasons have at the discretion of the league not allowed a team to field 2 americans who became australians because they thoughit an unfair advantage. It happened to a couple of teams last season.

No players have made the transition from NBL to NBA in the last few years. Why is this. Do we not do enough in the NBL or has the NBA stopped looking for talent in Australia?
