Perth beat Melbourne, Long and Trimble in the minus. Won’t get the arse but lot work to do on defence.

Will Obekpa last?

Wouldn't be shocked if the Breakers pull the trigger on an early import change. Chris Obekpa played 4mins last night & according to fans, looked injured. He was also receiving attention during the Blitz. Will see if the team wait this out, or make a quick swap before the season.

Roberson was so impressive in the Blitz, certainly deserved the MVP.

I particularky like the ones from overseas!

Honestly, this group of imports is exciiting. Ball and Hampton have lived up to their hype, Didi and Roberson blew me away, all the guards have added to the league. And, it looks like they brought some defence with them. The Fs/Cs are legit and I see all having great roles in their respective teams.

The Aussies, I think, will enjoy playing with them. I noticed advice being shared and the way everyone was helping their teammates.

It is an exciting crop for sure. I'd watch an all-star game of imports who have played 1 or more years vs brand new imports. That would be delicious.

Roberson and Hopson look very good.
Machado has been a bit underwhelming, but expect him to get better.
Brooks will be a scoring machine.
Tate's numbers look good from preseason even though he's undersized.
Hunt looks very mobile and exciting.
Ball and Hampton look like they'll match it with the older bodies.

Haven't seen or looked at the others yet.

Kendall Stephens' mother, Kay, is American.

Depends on Stephens' mother. If she is an Aussie citizen and he was born in Australia, he is automatically an Aussie citizen at birth.

The difference with Kyrie Irving is that both his parents were American.

From the original NBL press release back in May....

"Kendall, who has spent most of his life in the United States, was born in Australia during his father’s NBL stint making him an Australian citizen."
