silly question, was that on another feed/station?

I'll be surprised if he has any game or even lasts half the season...
Simmons has snippets of being a okay catch and shot guy. Can easily snag a couple in the corner but would need to be willing to shoot.
I was watching it on kayo
Can hit 3 ball!

If it's the same Bolden who played for Philly he was an ok 3 point shooter without being great. Pretty sure he also had a hissy fit when he was at Philly.
I'll give my left nut if he is willing to shoot.

anyone talking about luke travers?

I’d probably argue he’s just more of what we already have.
So who should replace Goorjian as head coach?
The Olympic team my thoughts are:
Giddey/Mills
Exum/Daniels/Vasiljevic
Green/Thybulle
Simmons/White/Maker
Landale/Reath

For mine this was always on the cards after seeing Goorjian's utterly inept rotations and borderline senile effort against Germany.
But yeah, make no mistake, when you consider the number of things that went Australia's way and the wealth of talent we had available this was a total shameful failure. Terrible outcome caused entirely by Basketball Australia's decision to entrust its team to a ****ing idiot.
To have a talented experienced team built around an nba all star calibre point goard capable of play making, rebounding and powering to the basket, that is a once in a decade opportunity and we totally blew it.

i think you are correct
Bogut would require two guys to carry him up and down the court Weekend at Bernie's style, his body is cooked. Rocco is only 17, so unless he comes on at light speed he won't be playing in Paris.

Loss by 2 v Germany. Got to 2 v Slovenia. That’s how close it was.
Goorj then just shat himself.
Reath must feel filthy all tournament.

Simmons won't play. No Cooks is crazy, he's been great.
Feel like Giddey, Mills, Green, Cooks, Reath worked.
Just didn’t play that rotation enough.
Ingles and Kay were the go to guys. So out of form. That sucks.

If and that Kay is the go to guy then we’re in trouble.
And I’m a Kay fan

would take Trev in a heartbeat. Luc Longley back as an assistant too.
most oppo fans will just remember his sideline antics but he really knew how to get the most out of his team at the wildcats.
100%.
It wasn’t working since the first game. Yet persisted like the two were going to suddenly get Tokyo form.
There’s so much more on the bench.
Goulding in the corner. Exum can shoot. White and Daniels can be dynamic.
Kay got killed in the paint nearly every game
I wouldn't be so sure on Simmons, he is recovering from back surgery but appears to be feeling better.
He is willing to play, but he has to be willing to play a role. But, the Boomers culture is strong enough to call him out and punt him for any primadonna shit if needed.
He would have been useful this tournament, we had no one to pull down rebounds. He would have hit some passes and played some great D which would have helped both against Germany and Slovenia.
There was always a plausible excuse for him not playing for Australia. Just drafted, needed to work on his game, needing to do the right thing to get a supermax contract, injured. Not great excuses, but plausible.
Now his name is mud both in the NBA and internationally, he needs the national team more than it needs him to rehabilitate his image.
