Past NBL Imports living in Australia long term

I think Al was trying for the Commonwealth games if memory serves.

AlGreen tried to be anOlympic sprinter. Didn’t qualify but did win Bay Sheffield

Ernest Zigamazabo (sp?) ex Razorbacks was still here in 99/2000, running school clinics.

He claimed to have an 87% career ft avg. Still lost a game of knockout.

Has anyone mentioned Marc Ridlen? Last I knew he was still in Sydney

Dave Nelson (Canberra and Brisbane) NBL first team

Herb McEachin

Cecil is in Melbourne.

Eric Cooks?

who was that long-term ABA import from either Ballarat or Bendigo that ended up having a career as a naturalised player in Woolongong?

My guess is that Andre Moore & Leroy Loggins are still around Brisbane

Darnell Mee lives in the States.

You can add Dusty Rychart to the list.

Butch Hays was out here for a while after retiring not sure is he still is.

Who’s the one that got dunked on by Gaze?

Cortez Groves and Eric Cooks

Isn’t Exum Dad living in Melbourne or Canberra??

Is Adam Ballinger still living in Melbourne?

A controversial one but is Tiny Pinder still out here?

I don't think Homicide lives here all year round but just comes back for the NBL season and didn't Darnell Mee after his career ended stay in Cairns for a few years but then returned to live in the US?

Derek Rucker is another living here and Robert Rose was here for a long time but I think eventually moved back to the US. Scott Fisher stayed out here a while too but I think has moved back.

Not a former import as such but American ex-pro player Raheim Brown lives in Adelaide too he played a role in mentoring Terrance Ferguson through his Dream Academy when T-Ferg played for the Sixers.

Is Willie Simmons still out here?

He did.

Thanks for the further names - some real stars
Mike Kelly - taipans
I thought James Crawford moved back to the USA a few years back

Joe Hurst

Crawford, McDaniel, Logins, Radford, Harmison(still here?), Uthof, Maley Dufelmeir, Homicide, .. a few more!

Cal Bruton

Carfino

Lets talk BigV

Werribee doing very well in State Champ with no outstanding players.

Sedale Threat doing WORK, his stat lines have been incredible to start the season. Seems to be stepping up a bit more taking more responsibility for everything than previous seasons.

DV just had 2 tough losses in a row sending them crashing down to Earth

Are Corio as good as people think?

Bulleen sitting pretty on top undefeated with people to come in still.. Will there be enough shots to go around?



Oh yeah, and Melton are 0-4.
