I thought Motum and Bairstow expressed interest in this series?

A bit disappointing to see that they won't be there.

Is this series live on Fox Sports?

You're disappointed that Bairstow won’t play? Are you serious? Been out of action for a long time and you want him to slot straight into international basketball?

You’re not happy with both Delly and Thon? Wow SMH

No hate at all mate.

It's great that Thon and Delly will be playing.

I just thought that I read somewhere that Cam wanted to play in this series.

Perhaps I'm wrong

Shame BA did not request to play their home games in this window so Aussie fans could see their returning NBA / Euro stars play at home.

LC two home games were in February so that no travel was required between the NBL last round and playoffs. The right move.

I get that. But it is a massive marketing opportunity lost IMO.

How do you know they didn't request to play games at home? Not all requests have to be met.

Disappointing that we won't be able to see this next level team play in person, but it looks like I'm holding onto my Fox Sports subscription for a little while longer in case these games are televised...

Fox Sports are broadcasting the games.

A source(!) at FIBA told me that BA did not make any request for games to be played at home during the June/July window.

"A source(!) at FIBA told me that BA did not make any request for games to be played at home during the June/July window."

Because they used up their home games to avoid traveling during the end of the NBL regular season.

You are all talking like you know everything, but you dont know anything at all. I have a source that tells me the draw of games was undertaken randomly in a pull the names out of a hat.

BA did not request home game sin February because of NBL finals, thats just how the draw happened. BA were as unhappy as the fans currently are when they were picked out as number 3 in the pool which meant they had two away games in June.

LC maybe you should "Pick and roll" another source, because your current person is telling you lies.

What are the current rules on Naturalised Players? Is it still only one? Are there any age-based exemptions?

Otherwise I'd assume we can't have Lisch and Maker?

21. a. A national team participating in a Competition of FIBA may have only one player on its team who has acquired the legal nationality of that country by naturalisation or by any other means after having reached the age of sixteen (16).

Oh God, so now people are going to start the whole "Maker is really 30 years old" thing again.

I don't know, but would think its a strong possibility he received naturalisation before turning 16, so would be ok.

Thon looks around the age he claims to be to be honest.

Genuinely interested in these matches and look forward to watching Maker play.
Im not sure he will start despite being an NBA player, he hasn't played at this level and might be eased in off the bench but will see enough minutes at 5 and 4 spots.

The draw was random as you say. However the fixturing was not. Countries had a chance to request to play home games during certain windows (whether granted or not).

The fixture worked with the NBL finals - agreed.

Australia did not request the June/July window to be at home which is what I stated.

AD - there's a youtube video claiming to show Maker's Australian Citizenship Certificate, dated 25/2/2007, when Maker would have been 9 years old.

Thanks Kobester for the official ruling.

It's obvious and meets principles of natural justice that a kid moving to another country should be treated as though they were born in that country.

There’s been a few posts here lately suggesting that Sudanese-Australians who’ve grown up here should be restricted in some way/s.

For next match.

Japan bring in...

Schafer 6'8 (Georgia Tech)
Hachimura 6'8 (Gonzaga) high draft prospect
Watanabe 6'9 (George Eashington) second round draft prospect
Fazekas 6'11 (naturalised center)
