I think he scored under 10pts in his next 3 games before missing games injured. hopefully he can re-find his form when he regains fitness.
All being well, Australia are going to have a decent team by the next Olympics- Simmons, Giddey, Green and Daniels should be a good start. I would guees Landale would have the starting centre position- we just need some shooters off the bench next Thybulle.
We have flipped this way, we used to have shooters and bigs for days but lacked athletes and playmakers. Now we all these 6"* guys who excel at positionless basketball. Add Xavier Cooks to that squad as well. He'll end up in the NBA at some stage. Jack White as well. Green and Daniels aren't bad shooters but not knockdown shooters like Patty Mills or Goulding. DJ Vasiljevic might be a chance, he did summer league with the Suns. Tyrese Procotr can't be far away from a debut either. I think Dyson Daniels has a younger brother who is a shooter. Landale will be our best big. We could do with some more quality bigs coming through as well.
those types- Simmons, Green, Daniels, Giddey, Proctor, are all sons of former NBL basketballers, all American dads- excepts Giddey.
Where's Lanard Copeland and Ricky Grace's kids??
I have been loving watching Josh Green's work recently. Kid is a gun.

Josh Green has 'superstar' talent, says Mavericks coach Jason Kidd: 'He's gonna make a lot of money'
Among the many to rave about Josh Green's game is Dallas' head coach, who is already advocating for the Aussie to earn a big payday.
Another young Aussie in Dyson Daniels showing pleennnty..
Love how he smokes Chris Paul here.

Awesome game yesterday Celts v Lakers. Celts braining them - 20 point lead half way through the third quarter. But Lakers get 10 points up with 2 mins to go in the game, their home crowd going crazy, but Celts get up to tie the game and then bash them in OT. Celts go something like 20-4 in the last 5 mins of playing time.
You’re still *smile* Lakers !!!

Ben Simmons locked up Giannis in the 4th yesterday for zero points. He’s having a big impact at the Nets now & they are on a roll..
Shutting down Big G is no easy task. That guy is immense.
Donovan Mitchell locked up by Simmons today. Ben's defensive role a big reason the Nets are on a 13-1 roll. He's taking away the oppo weapons, feeding the ball & allowing KD & Kyrie to flourish. Any offence is a bonus. They're purring & racking up the Ws.

Knicks stuck in horrible mid table despair, too much money invested to tank for Wemby, a lot of second bananas but no star. I reckon their going at almost full potential to be just above 500.
He's no Luka Doncic though. Few have been..incredible.
Beware the nets, no surprise they‘ve got rolling with Ben being back. He has lost some explosiveness, not sure if it’s gone for good. He’s playing the Draymond Green role. But better.
Watched it live today, he’s out of this world. Game sense is unreal. Plays at his pace. Scores from every place on the floor. Unstoppable, totally unique.He's no Luka Doncic though. Few have been..incredible.
