    Understand what you are saying but I feel the thing is, he’s also been that dominant against top tier prospects in his age group at many of the big camps for the elite kids. Won MVP at a few of them if I recall, Adidas Guantlet and Steph Curry’s UA camo if my memory serves my right. He’s ranked...

    Re: maker - 3rd or 4th ranked prospect out of all HS prospects according to Rivals. Pretty meteoric rise but hit 2 a few months back. Won MVP at Steph Curry’s camp too Also I still if a lot of real estate on Exum island. If he can piece together a full season this year, I feel like he makes the...

    Personally I think Ben could easily cover him. Sam Vecenie on the game theory podcast, while discussing their best 23 and under players had a bit of a hot take on him. Basically said Ben could be the best center in the NBA if the sixers were willing to play him there. I’m not sure but I think he...

    Well, win or lose the next game, I think we are a top 5 team in the world and that’s with a bunch of our best guys missing. I think we’ll give Rio a really good shake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’ve been complaining about Delly all tourney long. He hustles great but it feels like that’s all he’s great for, setting the tone. And damn it Joey, stop passing up shots... you are supposed to be one of the better shooters in the NBA and you turn into Ben Simmons from range. Feel bad but can’t...

    Mojave King is another kid who is emerging as a potential nba talent for the future. Really turned heads at nba global academy. Mother is a NZer, father American but grew up mostly in Australia. I also quite like the look of Jayden Stone who is also in the HS system. Both 16 yo On iPhone using...

    I like Mills but I don’t think he’s starting ahead of Exum. Exums per 36 stats for the month leading up to his injury have been phenomenal. I heard on a jazz podcast (sorry can’t ember which one) somewhere that he was getting to the basket at a rate per possession that even had the GFreak beat...

    Sherrif, not only are you from the same locality as I am, seems we are pretty much the same Gen lol Also, reading news.com.au the other day, you know hoops is starting to build up its popularity once again when 4 of the top stories are all basketball related (4 of 10 stories displayed on the...

    Makur is already a pretty solid 230-240lbs, not as skinny as his cousin. He’s also looking a pretty exceptional shooter and something that seems expected from all Aussie prospects these days, a great passer. Rivals has him at 15 I think and that was based on him having burst onto the scene...

    Won’t be ready for 2020 but Jayden Stone looking a pretty nice prospect too Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    I gotta agree with Sherrif. Dante is an improved shooter, at least catch and shoot. He’s not all there yet but he’s improving a lot and I think he’ll get much better. On top of that, and not taking anything away from broekhoff, but he’s not even close to the difference maker that Dante is. Dante...

    Yeah, judging by one tweet I saw, his nickname is ‘crocodile’. Sounds pretty Aussie to me :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So anyone heard of Ky Green? According to a few tweets, he’s Josh’s little bro. Is a 2023 and already one of the top ranked kids in his class Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    For anyone interested, game theory podcast with Sam Vecenie and Cole Zwicker has Ben as best under 23 player in the league. Good deal of talk about him. I particularly like the bit about how if he gets a semblance of a jumpshot, he’s easily the best in the NBA...
