Aussies/kiwis that probably should be in the nbl now...

Foto and Salt play in top leagues in Europe, so are exempt, Jois has shown nothing, can only play individual.

We want the NBL to be the best league below the NBA, so that extent we'd love our top non-NBA talent to be in here.

Those that you exempt are definitely ones i'd love to see here!

In terms of the other NZers:

Wynyard has regressed a lot I think - but I can't be too hard on him because he did have that back injury/surgery and that's not easy to come back from quickly.

Salt just signed to play in Poland and Fotu is playing in Treviso.

Fotu is on big money in Europe I think (Ratiopharm spend quite well). Treviso would too.

Salt probably isn't ever going to command big dollars in the NBL given his style of play. Without sounding harsh, he's probably one of the least sought after players ever thats captained a team to an NCAA championship. He does a lot of good things and would be invaluable, but with the way the league is heading hes not the guy you're going to spend a couple hundred thousand on.
He is probably earning better coin in Poland as he probably been brought in as a marquee type player given his background.

Rusbatch absolutely has to. Still can't believe he hasn't got a gig.
