Future Aussie stars

[Bluebag]

Jonah comes from good stock being the son of Bruce.

 

[Noa]

Bolden blew up at the adidas nations past few days. Been mentioned as one of the premier talents there.

Keanu Pinder (Tinys boy) and Jack Mcveigh also created an impression.

 

[Noa]

Dante now #1 on nbadraft.net 2015 mock draft.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Serious question, how many of these will actually play for Australia.

 

[Big Mick]

Well Simmons and Exum are playing in the Oceania Cup

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Will they play for the Boomers or will they go the Irving way and try for USA.

 

[andrew057]

Will they play for the Boomers or will they go the Irving way and try for USA.

Not really the same. Kyrie moved when he was 2 and never playing for International Australian Junior teams.

 

[Noa]

I think Exum and Bolden are tied to Australia because theyve played for Australia at U19 level.

Simmons only played U17 but its all moot anyway as he, and Exum, will be playing for the senior team next week vs the Tall Blacks.

From what Ive read they wouldnt want to play for the USA anyway.Maker' a different story though, could go anyway.

Simmons has been destroying at Boomers training camp apparently. Now @ 6"10"/230 and only 17.

 

[simostorm]

They televising the upcoming games anywhere?

http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/draft/results/top100/_/year/2014

Don't you just love how they charge for ESPN insider articles..

 

[Noa]

Game in nz is on ABC tomorrow night at 23:30., there may be other ways to see it.

Games in Australia are live on abc

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Serious question could this team be a chance for a medal at the next Olympics?

 

[Noa]

A chance but may be a year or 2 too early.

2020 and 2024 will be the years we should be good enough to challenge for a gold medal (not win but challenge). Will need a decent replacement for Bogut in 2024 more then likely. Will have a 6"5" Dwayne Wade-Type ready by then too. Will McDowell White is the name, potential triple double every game and a terrific athlete. Been playing above the rim since he was 13 apparently

 

[Noa]

Bolden has jumped to the #24 ranked player in the class of 2014 on 247

Seen quite a few opinions of people expecting him to be has high as top 10 by the end of the high-school season.

Keep an eye out for the name Liam Thomas, averaged nearly 10 block per at high school in Louisiana/Misissippi last year and is going to Nicholls St. this upcoming season.

 

[simostorm]

dear oh dear.. I missed the games.. forgot all about them..

 

[Noa]

Ben Simmons snubbed Kansas, Duke, Kentucky, etc and has committed to Shaq and Pistol Pete's alma mata , LSU.

 

[Noa]

Jonah Bolden down to Kentucky, Louisville, SMU, UCLA, Indiana and California.

Jonah and Bens schools the top 2 ranked schools in the US.

Highlights of Bens 1st game here http:// http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz41a649ukA

Article on Exum from yesterday. Saying #4 in next years draft if he enters

http://www.smh.com.au/sport/basketb...-nba-draft-tattslotto-win-20131203-2ynl3.html

 

[Noa]

The Buzz about Ben Simmons is he is possibly the best High School Basketball player in the USA (grades 9,10,11,12). Ben is in year 11.

Montverde Academy stream all home games live for those who want to see the future,.

PS. Frank Rijkaard is the coach of the Boys football team FFS. LOADED!!!

 

[Noa]

Jonah Bolden just committed to UCLA.
