Im just wondering who all you guys think will be the next 3 Aussies in the NBA. Personally I think the next 3 would be Brad Newley (Probably late 2nd round 2007 NBA Draft), Joe Ingles (Mid to late 2nd round 2008 NBA Draft) and possibly Aaron Bruce (Mid to late 2nd round 2008 draft). They are all quality players and two are South Aussies.
Write back with your opinions.

Yeah, that's pretty much right. Look out for Aleks Maric from Nebraska too, possibly 08 2nd round as well as long as he keeps getting better.
IMO neville, ingles and mills will be the next three drafted. newley probably will go late second round but i dont think he should.
with maric, bruce and iti all possibles but unlikely
a couple of freshmen that might have a chance if they keep improving are stephen weigh and mitch boyce
Ryan Bathie from Nicholls State is putting up some decent numbers for a sophomore. by the way weigh is from University of Utah and boyce is from Nicholls State.
Aron Baynes got some decent touches today for Washington St (14pts, 7 boards, 37 minutes). Still got 2 more years to go.
i can't believe mitch boyce and ryan bathie were just mentioned in a possible nba thread. have you ever seen these boys play? Nuthin against the boys both good kids but they don't have nba athleticism or talent. Ingles, Mills, Maric will be the next three. iti might get a shot. Weigh will be a solid nbl player but nba is probabl out of the question. Same with neville. Nathan jawai might get a look depending on how good a shape he gets in.

Oh so many anonymouses... as an aside Iti looked really good yesterday against TU - he's big (7') and moves really well... the potential is there for a monster... Did Goorj invite him to the the dev camp???... Didn't think so...

Iti should get a look, kinda has a Channing Frye look about him
Any chance the Sixers getting some of these guys before they "make" the NBA (either for this season or next season)?
