I think Jonah needs playing time to develop. Young players on good teams is not a recipe for playing time. They aren’t interested in kids playing through mistakes unless they are potential stars

He's only 27 or 28 this year. Graduated from high school in Perth in 2010.

If we can get Thybulle, that would be a massive coup. Should certainly help that he wasn't in the 44-man squad released today.
The kid is a gem and will be for a long time.

Have to hope Simmons and brown working on him.

Lol I get the joke, but just saying what his real age is (which 4 or 5 years older than his listed age).

As far as me and my rose coloured glasses are concerned the listed age is correct.

Bolden has signed a 10 day contract with Phoenix. Playing his 1st game with them right. Has already played 10 mins.

Report: Suns fill final roster spot signing Jonah Bolden to 10-day contract
Phoenix bets on a young stretch big like Bolden after waiving Tyler Johnson.

It appears he had a good game today. I would expect he will be offered a full contract soon.Bolden has signed a 10 day contract with Phoenix. Playing his 1st game with them right. Has already played 10 mins.

Good luck to Jonah. Might be the kick up the backside he needed.
Ben said today that Matisse would be playing for us in the Olympics. Lets hope so. I honestly can't wait until the Olympics. Lets just hope we don't get disappointed again.

On the news in Brisbane last night they said Magnay had been offered a 10 day contract with Golden State. Can’t find anything confirming this though.
Matisse Thybulle "going to play for Australia", according to Ben Simmons

I do want him to play for us, I want us to be as good as we can possibly be.
But if he does, I will feel a bit for the last guy cut from the squad, who would have had a lifelong dream to play for Australia at the Olympics.

If Green is a lottery draft pick/has a guaranteed spot on an NBA team, there's no way they won't select him if he makes himself available.

I'd have Broekhoff in place of Bolden, he's a 40% shooter from 3 and will aid spacing.
Yep, bit top heavy with Baynes, Landale, Bogut, Maker and Bolden.

I'd prefer to have another 3 point shooter as well, Bolden no certainty and Simmons can provide cover at PF/C in case of foul trouble/injury to the others.

If it were me, I'd go with something like:
Simmons/Delly
Mills/Thybulle/Goulding
Ingles/Exum/Broekhoff
Landale/Maker
Baynes/Bogut
First choice/back up. Is Green really ahead of Goulding or Broekhoff? I don't think so, Goulding ahead for me just because he's got that catch and shoot capabilities. Simmons could easily cover the 4 or 5 if needed, and in fact I'd almost have us going him as the 4 on defence and play 4 out offence with Mills, Thybulle, Ingles and Baynes.

I don't see Green making it. Still very raw. I'd also be surprised if he makes himself available. I'd rather see Cotton play. That bench is light on good shooters who can create their own shot. Also I don't think Maker is a lock and Kay could replace him. It will be interesting to see how he goes playing C for the Pistons with Drummond now gone. Hopefully he can play himself into a new contract somewhere.

We can probably formally add Thybulle to this list.
What a coup this will be for Australian basketball.
This kid is going to have a long career in NBA basketball.
He averaged over 6 steals a game in his final college year and had 2 x 100 steal seasons. Including a 100 steal/80 block final season only 1 of 10 people to do it in NCAA history.
Going to be devastating defensively in international ball and really will give us a defensive edge, with Simmons, who is also an elite defender.
