Everyone realises that bringing in American basketball players is an experiment. Not one has played a game, which makes sense, since they're all on rookie lists with Mitchell and Holmes (StK) only just drafted and Eric Wallace joining the Roos last year. The risk is mainly financial, since the club gets an extra rookie spot for these players. So far only 3 clubs have decided to go down this particular pathway.
It will probably be several years before we can make any sort of judgement on how successful this experiment has been. At this point, we can only look on with an open mind and see what develops.
