I'm going to put it out there now that we will bring home our first mens medal at the Tokyo Olympics.

A front court of Maker 7ft , Humpries 7ft, Simmons 6'9 will trouble the Americans with Exum all we'd need is a gun shooting guard Patty Mills will be 32 so may still be o.k. I think we will be a good show for a medal.

 

[moistie]

Yeah, the current crop coming through just needs a couple of dead eye 3 point shooters and we can make some noise. Looking at the box scores from the Under 17's World Championships we'll need to work on that one.

 

[Sidebottom2Beams]

Australia destroyed Puerto Rico by 24 points
Humphries 7/8 FG, 2/2 FT, 16 pts, 11 Rebs, 2 blocks

Vasiljevic 7/16 FG - 2/6 from 2, 5-10 from 3, 21 points, 13 rebs

Play either France or Spain to make the final.

The more I see/read about these guys, the more excited I am about the future of the Boomers... I'm just hoping that they all stay commited to playing for Australia.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Simmonds keeps on getting Scottie Pippen comp's. That might be a little much, but even half way between Scottie And Luol Deng would be incredible.

I haven't seen any of the tournament but for those who have watched does Isaac Humphries look likely to get player of the tournament?

Gold medal chance next year at the U19s if Simmons, Maker, Adel, Humphries, Bolden and McVeigh all play?

A genuine possibility, so long as we have outside players to hit a 3 and punish any opposition that packs the paint.

Simmons is a perimiter threat.

Every time i see new footage he impresses more, love how he is using the euro step
And the pass at 2:40
A couple of cool gifs as well.

Maker has three point range as does Deng Adel and Simmons. Team looks brilliant on paper.

I'm heading out at lunchtime to work on my corner 3. Maybe it's not too late to make a comeback!

Humphries and Maker both wont be able to play in 2015, it's bi-annual so they will be playing in 2016... Humphries was a bottom aged player this year. So they'll be ineligible. I doubt Maker even plays in a youth world championship either with his commitments in the states. Once he hits the big leagues, I'm sure he'll want to play. We're still not 100% sure if he's going to play for Australia to.

But yeah, if the team bought all of those guys to the under 19's then we're going to be tough.

I don't understand, why does the U17 tournament being bi-annual make them ineligible for the U19 tournament next year?

Same reason why Ben Simmons didn't participate in the under/19's.

Basically the u/17 is one year, the u/19's is the other. You're a bottom age player in one of those tournaments. Dante Exum was a bottom aged player in the u/19's hence was a top age player in the u/17s.

I don't know the eligibility exactly, but I'm 99% sure that in the under 19's you have to be either 18/19 years old and in the under 17's you've got to be 16/17 years old.

Kinda makes sense.
