FIBA Asia Cup 2025 - Potential SRP's?

Curious to hear if anyone thinks there are SRP-eligible guys out there right now who might get a look from NBL clubs—either as immediate contributors or intriguing long-term prospects. Drop your picks or ones to watch.

Hu Jinqiu

6'11" big man - Traditional low-post scorer with elite efficiency (75%+ FG). Dominates in the paint, rebounds well, and excels as a pick-and-roll finisher. Not a shooter but highly reliable inside.

Cheng Shuaipeng

6'4" combo guard – Aggressive slasher and secondary scorer. Can create his own shot, plays at a quick tempo. Capable perimeter defender with energy on both ends.

Wang Junjie

6'7" wing – Glue guy who plays within the system. Hits open shots, contributes on the glass, and defends multiple positions. Not flashy, but very steady.

Yu Kisang

6'3" shooting guard – Elite shooter with a fast release. Dropped 28 points on 8 threes vs Lebanon. Big-time scorer when hot; ideal off-ball weapon in motion offenses.

Lee Junghyun

6'2" point guard – Scoring lead guard who excels in pick-and-roll play. Uses hesitation well, finishes with both hands. A tough competitor with a reliable midrange game.

Keisei Tominaga

6'2" shooting guard – Lightning-quick release, elite 3-point shooter with NBA range. Moves like Curry off-ball. Undersized but crafty and fearless. Scored 20+ PPG in group play.

Dwight Ramos

6'4" guard/wing – Smart, versatile two-way player. Can handle, shoot, rebound, and defend multiple positions. Fundamentally sound, calm under pressure.

AJ Edu

6'10" power forward/center – Mobile rim protector with great timing. Rebounds, blocks shots, and finishes around the rim. Still improving offensively, but has high defensive value.

Youssef Khayat

6'9" small forward/power forward – Long, athletic forward with 3&D potential. Can guard multiple spots, run in transition, and hit open shots. Intriguing upside as a modern stretch wing.

Just a few from my observation....

The problem is B league, CBA, KBL pays way more. It took Zhou Qi having problems with his club team in China for him to take a pay cut to play here a few years ago. Even your own local players are opting for these asian leagues money wise.

Aside from the fact that they earn more playing outside of the NBL, the only player you've listed that's actually talented enough and would have any real impact to play here is Hu Jinqiu.

Tominaga would be solid as a 3 point specialist but that's about it.

Khayat could absolutely play in the NBL. He was a key contributor for a U-21 french division 1 team. Was going to suit up for their main team but decided to go to the NCAA. Iranian Parsah Fallah could play too. Dwight and Edu could contribute imo. We also have Amini playing in the french league.

Khayat looks good against smaller, less athletic players. Struggled against NZ. He would be eaten up in the NBL.

Jinqiu is the only one who could realistically be a contributor. Although it would be beneficial for the Philippines if some of their players spent time here like Hiejima and Baba did. They have some players who could provide rotation minutes.

Can naturalised imports feature as SRP?

Khayat is not even close to an NBL level player. I do think Jinqiu would be one of the better bigs in the league, his touch is elite.
