Bolden having a ripper defensive game against Toronto so far. Has 3 blocks.

Thon went 4 from 5 from deep against the celtics yesterday.

An Australian team with Simmons as PG on offence and PF on D surrounded by Maker (C), Ingles (SF), Mills (SG) and Delly (PG) will stretch any national team in the World and provide some hard nosed D too.

Especially with guys like Baynes, Bolden (was really impressed with him the other day) and Exum coming off the bench. Although I'd probably start Dante instead of Delly.

I would love to see Dante and Simmons on the floor together, Dante is a defensive beast, and quicksilver fast where opponents cannot stay in front of him. However, he's also a PG and he and Ben's shots are shaky so him working with Ben is a tougher prospect.

The only reason I put Delly in the lineup is he's a better 3 point shooter and would space the floor to give Simmons more room to tear the opposing team apart. Delly gives up a little on the defensive end to Dante but is a terrier and still an excellent perimeter defender.

Imagine an Australian team playing four out offence with Simmons with the ball in his hand. All four of Thon, Jingles, Delly and Patty can hit the three at 35% or better and must be respected on the arc. If opponents don't guard them, Simmons will find them for an open shot which is BAD if you're not Australia. If they guard Ben 1 on 1, the poor bastard trying to guard him will be bent over and taken dry by him.

Exciting times.

Should of injectected Kyrie Irvings blood with a dose of vegimite when had the chance. That would have been a world beating team

nothing on the video made me excited.

That video is average, but he’s the real deal apparently. Even an average nba starting level shooting guard fill a big hole in our current roster

Dante Sexum has been getting it done lately for the Utah Jazz.

20 point game against Philly


13 assists against the Knicks, 12 in the first half.

Dante's floater looks almost identical to how he throws the ball up for alley oops. It's a pretty nifty way to avoid getting blocked.

Good to see him hit some threes in that first video too.

I think Green will be a key piece for the national team going forward.
An athletic wing player - yes please.

Can see him winning that starting spot

Utah fans are of the mind it will take Rubio being out for the rest of the season for Ex to become the permanent starter, Snyder has his favourites and doesn't budge. But Rubio is an expiring so it may be Dante's position from next year onward.

Koaut Noi having another good year for TCU in college ball.
6'7 wing player - 3 and D.

Was injured coming into the season but has started well.
Improved as a rebounder, still hitting 3's on a higher volume. Increased some of his defensive stats.
Could be another national level wing depth player.

Jonah Bolden highlights against Dallas.

Dante rolled his ankle, awaiting diagnosis. Shame, he was putting together an excellent stretch of games. Check this tweet and subsequent replies for some good analysis of how his game has changed for the better recently.

Ben Simmons is taking more jump shots.
