When does Kevin Lisch naturalise?

Whilst listening to the Fox commentary when Andrej Lemanis is commentating, whilst giving very little away, it seems obvious to me that if Lisch was naturalised, he would take him to this years Rio Olympics in a heartbeat.

So the question is, will Kevin be naturalised in time?

The Sunday Times also had an article saying that Lemanis will be heading to the US this month to find out the availability of Ben Simmons and Dante Exum for Rio.

My money is on Simmons not being available. As for Exum, even if he is fit enough, surely he won't be taken this time, due to him not playing a single game for so long.

Thought?

Simmons and exum will miss!l for obvious reasons to much to loose by playing.

Lusch will be close to highest paid in league once he naturalising he is a jet

What was interesting is the hypocrisy of the government and immigration department. other sports have players naturalised super quick but basketball has no contact from within and get treated badly so every naturalisation is super slow. Lisch is also married to an aussie so it goes to show how bad bball has it.

"Lusch will be close to highest paid in league once he naturalising he is a jet"

what's the connection between him being naturalised and getting paid more?

Where does it say Simmons will play in rio?
Hasn't even been drafted yet. Wouldn't the team have some say?

Same for exum. The Jazz more than likely will keep him from playing.

Hopefully...
With:
Delly/exum
Mills/broekhoff/Goulding
Ingles/Simmons
Motum/Anderson/bairstow
Bogut/baynes

More likely...
Without:
Delly/lisch or Gibson
Mills/broekhoff/Goulding
Ingles/Newley
Motum/Anderson/bairstow
Bogut/baynes

I think the number one pick (or high lottery) gets to do whatever he wants. If he wants an Olympic pass in his contract he'll get it.
