It would be fine to have such players "presented" by that convention in PBP and news text, but in rosters/lineups/etc., I'd still want all family names in the same column.
BTW, some individuals from societies which use the "last first" name convention, when they emigrate, choose to follow the convention of the society in which they have moved to. Probably they get sick of people misunderstanding what their name is.
