If the NBL sent a team to Vegas or Orlando for Summer League in the off season, who do you think would make the team?
Pick 12 guys and they have to be young ~ 25yrs or younger
Goulding
Norton
Cadee
Creek
Blanchfield
Steindl
Johnson
Pledger
Walker
Gliddon
Madgen
Abercrombie
Lots of swingmen & not a lot of height or muscle but that's what I've got.

25 or younger hey?
Pretty sure Walker, Pledger, Madgen and Abercrombie are all too old yet you have listed them.
Did you see the '~' sign - it means approximately!

Walker turns 30 in December, Madgen is 29, Pledger 27 in March, Abercrombie 27 in July ... but hey if that's approximate to you then you may as well put Steven Markovic in there who is 29 this year
No you got me, well done! Give yourself a nice little fist pump.
Well done JMc high five and a pat on the back to you mate!!

Looking at some other names that are 25ish how about Mitch Young, Nate Tomlinson, Tom Jervis, Cody Ellis. If it didn't clash with potential boomers commitments then you could add Goulding and Ogilvy
Ogilvy/Pledger
Johnson/Walker
Abercrombie/Blanchfield/Creek
Goulding/Gliddon/Steindl
Webster/Cadee
I deadset forgot Ogilvy! Great addition.
I did consider Jervis & Young - definitely a chance! You obviously want youth, but also want to be competitive.
I like this team!
Cadee/Norton
Goulding/Gliddon/TeRangi
Blanchfield/Creek/Steindl
Johnson/Young
Ogilvy/Jervis

How would it dominate summer league? Summer league is full of fringe NBA guys and no one listed except for Goulding and Ogilvy could be anything near the bare minimum NBA standard?

What would be the point of the team - to try and expose players to the potential NBA market or to try and market the NBL to the fringe NBA players? Either way, not a bad concept.
I'd throw Patty Mills into the team too.
He is ~NBL.

Kyrie Irving was born in Australia during NBL season.
I would go
Tomlinson/Cadee
Goulding/Gliddon / Te Rangi
Creek / Blanchfield / Steidl
Johnson / Ellis
Ogilvy / Pledger
I don't actually think it would be competitive. I would say Goulding, Ogilvy and maybe Creek would be NBA shots. The rest would be/were average college players not stars, so not sure how they would dominate NBA summer league. Would be a good concept though.
Joe Ingles is 26. Actually, I forgot what this thread was discussing.
Lets be serious...an NBA team would get slaughtered in the NBA summer league.
