Both players were amazing. Hugh is definently going to a top D1 NCAA College..I don't think it would be premature to call him a future Boomer. Great player. Agreed, Cannot believe Creek is not in AIS etc. Certainly deserves to be in there, however I can see him playing D1 College ball anyway, regardless of whether he goes to the AIS or not.
There were a few AIS players, who judging on the stats, had appaling tournaments. I cannot mention them on here but they certainly underperformed.

tippett ?

Creek Needs the AIS asap he is a 4/5 @ 18's but a 3 @ D1'NBL etc but he needs super work on his perimiter game.
Would be a great project for Marty.

mitch maccaron had a good tourney

Pulse, I thought an AIS player from Vic. metro had an appaling tourny, escpecially in the final, but I know he is a great player, but he just underperformed bigtime. Iggy(from vic) was another one who underperformed IMO. I just thought that he would dominate, considering he played in that NBL Fundraiser game against some great players! Tippet had way too many TO's IMO. She had 14 one game..thats amazing! But she is still bottom-age and has plenty of development in her.
Another player is Corban Wroe from QLD. I understand he is a good defender, but he doesn't do too much. Not a scorer, rebounder, not distributor. I would just like to see Creek in there, seeing he is more versatile and versatile players are always in high demand for college ball!

creek can actually shoot the lights out when he is on but he seriously didnt need to at nationals considering the guards he had on his team and his pure ability to get to the rack at will!

when will new players have a chance to get into A.I.S after this 18 nationals??

Who would get your mvp vote.? IMO Greenwood would deserve it because a true MVP is the most valuable player on the team. He is the player who, if you take them out of that team, that team will not be as good. Greenwood is that guy, because Tasmania did a fantastic job at Nationals(Men). Greenwood carried his team all tournament and he was a huge factor in them acheiving what they did--6th place i believe, maybe 5th can't remember. Creek would also be up there, considering his amazing value to the Vic. Country team. Personally, no one from Vic. Metro deserved the award because they were a very balanced lineup..they had alot of great players(3 guys who represented Australia at the AYOF). Duno how you could pick the MVP for Vic. Metro...Would Drmic, Hadziomerovich, or Sinclair get it??

Indivuals Standout players Greenwood, Aldridge and Creek.. Would be something to see their performance in an outstanding TEAM like Vic Metro..
The 3 of these guys were done at the end of the week all had to play close to 40 mins each game.. average vic player was 20 mins makes a huge difference over a full tournament..
The only one at AIS is Greenwood... no idea why the other 2 are not given the opportunity..
Other buzz player is Hussey WAM .. champion

Aldridge certainly could be at the AIS..He is a very talented player. However, the AIS set limits on the range of players they intake. Obviously, they don't want to give scholarships to 20 PG'S! They will share them amongst different positions. Thats why I dont think Aldridge made the AIS. With PG's such as Dellavedova, Cadee, Jackson Hussey, Jordan Page(Plays as a SG but is undersized so will be a PG at college probably) and Corban Wroe all at the AIS there is really no room for Aldridge!

Vic metro are hard to beat.. they play finals style of bball weekly .. NSW for instances never get to play at these levels except at Nationals each year.. the strength of the 2 leagues are miles apart..
The guns of TAS , NSW etc have to play close to 40 mins per game at Nationals VIC metro have luxury of each player being on 20 mins each game..
By the time the end of the week comes around some players have been on court up to twice the time.. has to impact on performance and needs to be considered in conclusions... and estimates of teams and players like Greenwood, Aldridge, Creek, Hussey etc..
AFL is pushing hard for the bball talent to switch and were out in force at Nationals last weeks .. they offer plenty of opportunity for the BBAll talent to stay in their home state, and no need to go to ACT or USA...
Basketball is in the process of becoming a basket case... For sure some of the TOP talent is considering the change to AFL.. The AFL scouts are talking right now,to the best of the talent pool, what are basketball doing ???
Has anyone heard of offers being made by AIS to trial for the few spots...

Hi People,

Vic Metro is playing team basketball not individual if you put Drmic or Iggy in any state team except Vic they would dominate like Greenwood,Aldridge or Creek.
I think those two players have one of the best defence in their age group no one menschen in this forum plus information for all of you half of Vic team had flu during tournament.
We are CHAMPIONS
