Thought exactly the same.

Travers been outstanding for United this season. Offers more than Goulding and Delly.
Blood oath. His play making work this season easily translates to a higher level. His defensive work is exceptional- way above McVeigh (although I do think he’s earned his spot), Goulding and company. He’s patient and not in a hurry to impress. Perfect role player.

He'd be the first bloke I'd pick from the NBL.

An athletic guard that rebounds like a machine. So valuable.

I guess he's competing for the same role as Exum, Thybulle.

McVeigh rightly getting rewarded for an incredible championship series, but I'm taking LT every day of the week.

Good news on the Aussie women’s front- three drafted to the WNBA. Pouch and Borlese will have long careers - special players both of them.

Team USA locked and loaded. Amazing array of talent on paper. Absolute favourites for Gold - but stranger things have happened than if they end up with a minor medal. It is Paris after all - their minds might not be on the job.

USA starting five: Curry, Booker, Durant, LeBron, Embid. Ridiculous. Back-up five: Haliburton, Edwards, Tatum, Leonard, Davis. Nuts. Rivals the original 1992 Dream Team - probably better.

Don’t know how I missed this but a few weeks back our National U18 side The Emus won the prestigious Albert Schweitzer tournament in Germany. They defeated Serbia in the final. 7’3 Rocco Zikarski won the tournament MVP - he will be another Aussie first selection in the 2025 NBA draft. Jacob Furphy - no relation to Johnny - starred as did anothe NBA prospect Roman Siulepa. Good times ahead.
