Shane Heal goes back to the NBA

[Danish Moo Cow]

This time for the San Antonio Spurs.

I recall his 5 three-pointers in one quarter for the Timberwolves really showing me the guy could've made it in the NBA if he didn't try to boost our ranks for so long. Same with Gaze. Those two have done so much for the sport here, it's just a shame that the sport is still a long way from main-stream success.

Andrew Gaze could have and should have gone 12 years ago when The Chicago Bulls we gunna look at him Gaze could have become a great over there aswell...but oh well, also i`m a SPURS FAN and can`t wait, Heal has a trial he aint signed or anything yet btw!!!, it`ll be hard for him to get game time at SAS tho.

How did Heal end up this year?

 

[Sharkman]

He got cut eraly in the piece. Had he made a few more 3 pointers he might have stayed.

They were heavy on guards though, so it wasnt really a good set up for him.

 

[El Coconuto]

Hehe, this is an old thread... ;-)

Sean Marks has re-signed with the Spurs for the season. There are no Australians in the NBA at the moment aye??? Hopefully Kirk Penney can get a few chances at camps!!!

 

[Jonotallica]

Andrew Bogut hopes to be drafted in the first round, in the next year or two.

Aussies never last in the NBA though.

 

[El Coconuto]

Bogut will be a lottery pick for sure. He is a gun!

 

[edabomb]

Luc Longley had an excellent career. Marks has lasted around 4 seasons, but hardly gets any court time. I'm suprised Gaze didn't make an impact in his stint with the Bullets in 94. I guess white guys who can shoot are a dime a dozen over in the USA. It'd be good to get some solid Oceania representation in the NBA.

kiwi pero cameron looks likely to get a trial with the nba champions detroit pistons, after head coach of detroit and USA larry brown approched cameron.

has anyone heard how chappell from the nz breakers did in his trial with the toronto raptors a month ago?

 

[CanadianSteve]

He's not an Aussie or Kiwi, but this Lithuanian would be an awesome NBA player:

yep i know but the question about mike chappell was just that a a question?

 

[CanadianSteve]

Sorry, Douglas, I didn't hear about that. Did Chappell play on the Raptors' summer league team, or did he just come to Toronto for an individual trial?

If you don't know, I will try to find out something.

 

[CanadianSteve]

As of now the Raptors have 19 men on their roster, and no Chappell.

thats good selfishly! go the breakers!

Chappell got cut early in the piece at their camp.
Marks will hopefully get more court time in the NBA as injuries have effected him in the past but is now back to full fitness.
