Luke travers didn't make himself available.
Concentrating on that state league I guess.

NO Tasmanians.

NO South Australians either

Pretty sure that one Tassie kid 2nd top scored the last Nationals. Boards too very high. What's DP thinking?

FWIW

Firstly, congratulations to all who made the team & good luck. Secondly commiserations to those that were in the mix and missed out.

Like all team selections, these are always open to conjecture & many differences of opinion.

^^ I don't necessarily agree with the above poster's basic description of the rankings being based on Offensive Efficiency + Defensive Efficiency. Did you calculate the Player efficiency yourself and then rank them, highest first, lowest last?

This can be quite deceiving - example the highest EFF might be 20.00 and the lowest EFF might be 19.00, with each rank only separated by 0.01.

Personally I would rather see the Eff figures, not the ranking from the EFF figures.

Did you use ESPN Columnist John Hollinger's formula - which is quite long and complex:

uPER = (1 / MP) *
[ 3P
+ (2/3) * AST
+ (2 - factor * (team_AST / team_FG)) * FG
+ (FT *0.5 * (1 + (1 - (team_AST / team_FG)) + (2/3) * (team_AST / team_FG)))
- VOP * TOV
- VOP * DRB% * (FGA - FG)
- VOP * 0.44 * (0.44 + (0.56 * DRB%)) * (FTA - FT)
+ VOP * (1 - DRB%) * (TRB - ORB)
+ VOP * DRB% * ORB
+ VOP * STL
+ VOP * DRB% * BLK
- PF * ((lg_FT / lg_PF) - 0.44 * (lg_FTA / lg_PF) * VOP) ]

or the formula created by Kansas City sports reporter and statistician Martin Manley which is more basic :

(PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK − Missed FG − Missed FT - TO) / GP?

Just my opinion, but I believe I read an articles on foxsports where Josh Green was considering, wanting, hoping to play in the Senior Boomer's team.

https://www.foxsports.com.au/basketball/exclusive-josh-green-wants-to-make-his-australian-boomers-debut-in-the-2019-fiba-world-cup/news-story/e06b157ce8cec14bdbc9f29275200a77

If that is the case, then playing in an U19 Australian team would be, IMO, considered by him, his entourage, his management, etc, etc as beneath him and would serve no useful value as it might just show him up against other kids his own age and show deficiencies in his game and could be detrimental to his NBA draft prospects.

He's using similar tactics to Dante - not going to college, Thon Maker - not going to college nor playing for Australia in junior FIBA events.

Like Dante & Thon Maker, keeping it all a mystery has currency.

Look, good luck to him, but Markelle Fulz and others have tore up USA high school basketball and turned out to be not so great in the NBA.

For Josh's sake, I hope it turns out.

^^ It's not all about rankings - team make-up/balance, team bonding, players that have played in FIBA tournaments before and know what to expect and the coaching staff know they can handle the pressure of playing in a foreign country with different food, etc, etc all come into it as well.

However, based upon the anon's rankings the two lowest player's selected would appear to be questionable, if you just go by the rankings.

But DP is a Victorian and those two players are as well. Also one of them plays at Dandenong where DP coaches, so I guess that might help explain it?

The Hollinger formula is yet another flawed system.
There is no accounting for what the opposition does.
Look at the TENDEX system. It is the only true system that I have ever seen and used for 2 decades plus that takes into account all stat'd fields for all teams.

Jacob Richards #8. No selection, seriously?

You gotta love that Bowen tried to dunk it on Moller.

Poaching a lot of players from basketball atm.

Dion, do you mean Luke Jackson, Luke Travers is still playing SBL in WA.
