Which AFL midfielder would you think would be the best NBA player?

[Crafted]

I was going to say AFL player, but then I thought inb4nicnat

So I made this.

I'm bored shut up

 

[Deddy]

Scott Pendlebury, for the pure fact that he got a scholarship to the AIS for basketball as a teenager.

 

[Messenger]

None of them.

 

[Deddy]

None of them.

Pendlebury would be the best but he'd still struggle to be a 13th man on a D-League team.

nic nat might be an absolute spud at basketball.
just because someone can jump high and dunk doesn't mean they are necessarily any good at basketball.

i doubt he'd even make a decent division 1 college, blokes like him are a dime a dozen in the states.

Being athletic always helps though.

 

[Crafted]

None of them.

If you had to pick one though

 

[PP34]

Pendles.

Jack Watts was also quite good back in the day, but he's not a midfielder. I saw him play and he could shoot the lights out.

Jack Watts. Led the league in rebound 50's between round 8-15 in 2012.

yes it does to a degree, but it certainly isn't the be all,end all.

Leads the league in amount of times saying "My bad" in 2013 with a total of 235

considering we don't know many basketball skills of AFL players, we would have to rely heavily on it, would we not?

he's really the only one athletic enough to even be comparable, so yes i agree

 

[freshazimiz]

Paddy Ryder who is pretty athletic and has clean hands for a big man. I'm pretty sure i read an article a long time ago where he said he could dunk from the free throw line as well.. Or i could be making it up.

 

[smashh]

Pendles can play. Urban legend has it that Port Melbourne's Jason Williams once dropped 30 on Brandon Knight in an exhibition game

 

[ROSEMVP]

Pendlebury and Maybe Goldstein

 

[peternorth]

sandilands. 6 fouls there

rodan - nate robinson like
howe - mcroberts like

 

[Oliver King]

Andrew Lovett - Kobe Like.

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

Josh P. Kennedy.

One of the tallest mids and is solid.

That's what Michael Jordan did so it wouldn't be true.

Would be Jack Watts, pretty sure he represented Australia at under 16 level.

Lol at the title could have just said basketball instead of NBA.

Jack Watts would be a pretty good netball player tbh. I saw Luke Hodge nail a three at half time of a Boomers game in Melbourne a couple years back so I'll give him the nod.

Watts was an extremely good basketballer as a junior.

NBA is a lot different from european style basketball.
