How tall is he? Is he too short/thin for the NBA? I know short guys can make the NBA, but they have to be insanely quick, like TJ Ford, Mugsy.

Far to small for the NBA. It was against the Kiwis. Wait until the Olympics and see how he goes there, and if he has good one, then maybe you can talk about an International career.

Hes not far too small hes insanely quick no doubt he can make NBA he'll be Australia's next big thing, Shane Heal described him as fastest guy hes ever seen on a court and Mills is about 5 foot 11 not that small, last time i checked shane heal had played in the NBA

Shane Heal played in the NBA as a shooter. Always room for a shooter as a role player.

I wasn't knocking Mills, just that he looks very small. 5"11 is tiny for the NBA and he would need to be super quick to make the grade.

St Mary's.... play in the WCC, not a strong conference. Only other school of note are the Zags...

St Mary's seems to be the Aussie College, along with Utah. Three Aussies on the team.

Hey the doctor has a very reasonable point and he isn't knocking mills, he is right. Mills is 5'11 and even if he is already quick it will be extremely difficult for him to get minutes in the NBA.
Anybody remember Dee Brown at Illinois? arguably the best player of that basketball team yet several players got drafted higher then him such as deron williams and luther head yet Dee brown had very similar if not better stats then these two. Now Dee stands just under 6"1 and believe me he is twice the bullet Patty Mills is. So if a player like Dee Brown struggles to make it i cant see Patty Mills being there, especially playing in only the WCC.
But i agree that he is a super talent and hopes that he will one day be capable of playing in the NBA, it would be brilliant for Aussie basketball

so he is going to st marys?? that sounds ver strange. I thought he would have the ability to go to a much better, well known program like Texas,USC,Univ of Washington,Kansas,Kentucky,Duke or UNC...but St Marys?
Yea your right too TR, the WCC is a weak conference. Only good teama are probably Gonzaga or Loyola Marymount, where Damien Martyn and Matty Knight went.

I think everyone here has underestimated how quick this guy is. I've played against some really good ballers, and he is bar the quickest by a LONG way. This guy is seriously as quick as a Tony Parker no problem and his D is some of the best I have ever seen. With no injuries, he'll make the NBA draft I'm sure.
