Boomers - Just a thought

We know that CJ is out, but ANy chance Darnell Mee is nationalised yet? what other nationalised players could Gorj dip to? The good thing is that while the team vs NZ will LARGELY descide the world champs, it may not totally and if anyone underperforms there is a chance that the team could be slightly restructured ahead of the WC's.... in that i mean most likely one of the point guards, and with that is always the chance Mc Donald might get the call up. Gorjian did say LARGELY, so he hasnt ruled out thoes who dont make up the team vs NZ, perhaps CJ finnishes his summer league before then and gorjian sees the real need for a point guard? or Anderson/ saville get better? still a month.... and Gorj didnt rule out restructuring... for that im glad.

heres the players available at the moment

Chris Anstey,
David Barlow,
Andrew Bogut,
Aaron Bruce,
Wade Helliwell,
Nathan Jawai,
Luke Kendall,
Daniel Kickert,
Sam Mackinnon,
Alex Maric,
Steven Markovic,
Patrick Mills,
Brad Newley,
, Russell Hinder,
Glen Saville,
Jason Smith,
Mark Worthington.

theres some great players in there... just need a vet point guard... hopefully gorj sees that.

might add that the team is once again rehashed before the boris stankovic cup.... the team taken there will be our official team....
cj could still make the worlds.

Kickert might have had a shot at being drafted had he nominated last year. I still think he's a chance for the NBA, if he wants it and works hard like Schenscher did. Definitely needs to build some muscle too.

Aaron Bruce should go in the first round next year. He has all of the tools, perhaps only needing to work heavily on his defense. His team at Baylor are talented but they lack his experience and vision so they threw away a lot of opportunities that he created for them, but watch for his assists to lift considerably next season as they learn to always be ready for his passes. As for his shooting touch, well he increased his 3pt% this season, despite having multiple injuries in his legs and a dislocated finger. Has a very sweet stroke.

Brad, interesting that you played against mills in 14s, yet you bragged a few months back that you are currently playing 18s with harri harvey ... that would mean that you would have been about 10 years old playing 14s against mills ... maybe YOU are the gun that we should be looking at.
or maybe your "achievements" are a little overstated ...

Brad, what is "he scored like 28" - is that 29 or 27? And when you say he played "like a half", does that mean he played just over a half?

It's bad enough that people talk like that, but pleeeease don't type like that. It's like, sooooo annoying.

You need to stop watching Hillary Duff episodes. I'd rather read those posts written in sms shorthand, or those gangsta posts that pop up sometimes.
