matt nielsen plays for perth? hmmmmm...................

Yeah, he filled in so he can get some match fitness for the 4 Nations tourney in Perth and in Sydney.

Played 18mins of a 40 min game

 

[CanadianSteve]

Was this a Lithuanian club team, or their national team?

 

[Goldthorpe]

This was their national team, with some noteable DNP's im lead to believe. I don't know much about European Basketball.

Still not a bad effort from the Wildcats.

 

[attamarrap]

so nielsen isn't playing for the cats this season?

 

[Goldthorpe]

Nup, i wish he was.

 

[Big Bunny]

Nielsen had 2 reasons to scout the Lithuanians in Perth, national commitments and he's going to be playing in their league this season.

He is??
Wow. I thought he was doing quite well in Europe.
I was hoping he might make the NBA. I remember last offseason he was in training with Denver but he wasnt picked up.

He went to my school! So I am a huge fan of his.
