It would be nice to have him internationally qualified as an Australian, even if he's never a Boomer... but you never know how he's going to develop either, might turn out a gun!

Either way, want to see him in the NBL (as a local). That should be priority #1 and that means naturalization.

Not sure about the 'naturalize before 16' thing.. if that's true someone better be getting on to Mojave King's situation if it's not too late already!

Irving is a dual citizen - American and Australian. The location of his birth did not automatically confer Australian citizenship. However, I suspect one or both of his father and mother was on a permanent residency visa(s) at the time of his birth, which would have made him an Australian citizen by birth. That's consistent with the fact he lived in the USA from a very early age yet still holds Australian citizenship.

As such, he would have played as a native Boomer rather than as the naturalised Boomer.

^that was me - keep forgetting to log in before posting.

Can someone please explain the context of what happened here

Pretty sure he isn't that good.

He's good for div two France, nbl1 level.

^ Exactly. There's no reason for him not to have had Australian citizenship prior to needing it for employment. If it's taken a bit longer now, that's not really anyone's fault but his and his family's.

I don't think he's a future Boomer, and at this stage he's an end of the bench guy in the NBL, not much better than most DPs. He has the physical tools to evolve into more but at 6'6" he's basically played as a Kenneth Faried-esque energy PF for most of his career. He still doesn't have the ball skills, shooting and decision making ability to play on the wing.

^I'm assuming Thon did because he played for Aus. already.

As for Moneke, I think his college resume speaks for itself. He's a bit undersized but plays a lot bigger than his size. Elite athleticism, bit time rebounder, blocks shots and good feet on D, power finisher, has some post/mid-range game, etc. If he ever extends his range out, which is definitely possible, he could be an impact NBL player. He's 22 and 1 season into his pro career, I find it crazy people are so low on a guy that has the tools, youth and college production he has going for him.

Same situation with Mojave's king, could you talk bad about his parents?. Don’t think so. He’s been here forever and hasn’t got citizenship.

Did Moneke ever get his citizenship?

Would be a good get for jackjumpers if he doesn't get promoted to top flight France.

Didn't get his Australian citizenship, is playing in div one France this season. If he ever plays in Australia it will be as an import, though he’s probably earning more playing in France.

He still applied for it, he just didn't get it in time

Chima ain't really good enough accept as a bench players so needs the citizenship or whats the point

He's better than a lot of starting sfs in the nbl but it would be best for him to get citizenship.

He won't get citizenship while he’s not in Australia, I’ll watch how his season in div one France goes .

He was first team division b and now moved to d1
