I don't think Sean Chambers belong in that list - overrated

 

Harris

Thirdkill

Black

Bates

Hackett

Parks

Briggs

Queenan

Brown

Strothers

 

I don't recall but multiple best imports redfield and honeycutt probably belong there somewhere.

 

For the length of time that Sean Played, he only became best import once. But he is durable/reliable.

[Manu20]

Tony Harris - pure talent no Basketball IQ

Shouse - same as Tony

Ken Redfield - lucky dog

Davis (Alaska iyung mahaba buhok) - workhorse

Chamber - pure heart

Black - same as Chambers

Hamilton - Best Run N Gun Import

Thompkins (Swift, iyung early years niya sa PBA) Watch out for Spiderman

Briggs - Jawo Fav

Parks - Best thing happen to Shell

Parang mas mahirap na makakuha ng import in the mold of a Bates or Harris nowadays as imports/players of those caliber are getting offers from teams from pro-league in Europe, Korea, Japan and China (assuming that they are not in the NBA). In my own opinion, Freeman and Simpson would have a hard time to enter (and if they managed to stay long) in the NBA, both these guys would play the 2 or 3 spot sa NBA kaso suspect ang perimeter shooting nila eh....

The Dean's List:

 

In 1981, the PBA introduced a Best Import award for every conference. So far, the only multiple awardees have been Bobby Parks (7), Norman Black (2), Billy Ray Bates (2), Ken Redfield (2) and Derrick Brown (2).

 

Some NBA veterans opted to end their careers in the PBA like Kevin Porter who played for Toyota in 1983 and Wood, now an NBA referee, who suited up for Purefoods in 1994. Imports who used the PBA as their training grounds for the NBA included Kevin Gamble, Eldridge Recasner, Chris King, Henry James, Vince Askew, Rick Brunson, Sam Mack, Frahm and Earl Barron.

 

Here’s my list of the PBA’s 20 greatest imports – Bates, Tony Harris, Sean Chambers, Parks, Byron (Snake) Jones, Black, Michael Hackett, Bruce (Sky) King, Larry McNeill, Thirdkill, Ken Redfield, McDonald, John Best, Cyrus Mann, Ronnie Grandison, Michael Young, Lamont Strothers, Rosell Ellis, Brown and Diamon Simpson.
