Saint Mary's to retire Mills' jersey

Such is the lasting impact that Australian Boomer Patty Mills imparted on Saint Mary's College during his two-years, the Gael's are set to honour him by retiring his famous number 13 jersey. Mill's will be present to receive his honour as part of a special half-time presentation on February 21, fittingly a contest against West Coast Conference (WCC) rivals Gonzaga.

Great recognition for two Aussies that helped put SMC on the basketball map in Delly and Mills.

However once wonders whether Mills would have gone to the Gael's in the first instance if it were not for Daniel Kickert and his legacy?

I would think Daniel Kickert probably deserves the same honour even though he was never NBA-level.

Daniel Kickert has been nothing but disappointing as a pro

Agree to an extent that Kickert never was really able to rise to the top level of Europe that maby thought he could.

However there is no denying his impact at Saint Mary's over all 4 years.
