Hey guys,

Any interest in having a thread highlighting this League ? It's gonna be an exciting season and the talent is excellent .

Thoughts?

Aside from Aquille Carr, what other ''talent'' exists in the NBL?

Consider me interested! The talent might not be nba level, but I think the fan experience can be pretty amazing. Close geography lends itself nicely to developing rivalries.

Let's go Power!

Best talent I saw as a rookie was Isaac Butts. A 6'10 centre that dominated in his 1 year in the league. He played last year in Germany, and signed with China this year. He went to Apalachian State I believe, but he is good.

Stanley Robinson last year was head and shoulders above everyone in the league in respoect to athleticism. Too bad he's ruptured both of his achilles, cause he could have made his way back to an NBA roster. Not so sure now.

There are some great shooters in the league as well, but it really is a guard dominant league.

Canadian National team member Olu Famutimi played for the Halifax Rainmen last season and just got traded to the PEI team.

Butts was really good as well as Robinson. I would not say he was head and shoulders above everyone in Athleticism though. I hope he gets better soon

Denham Brown is not in this League unless he recently got signed and It hasnt been announced yet.

He did not play in the League last season either

Games are fun, great local competition. You'll be disappointed if you're expecting NBA level athletics but it's good to watch guys that can play, play
