Got no probs with the questions to Dante. It's inevitable that those questions come up regardless.

But it looks like he'll go to college and enter the draft in 2015, and not next year.

It's a question for another time though. He is literally courtside after a big win, ask him about the game. There are always questions for College later!

But yes, his attitude suggests he will be going to College and entering the 2015 draft. I like this since many experts say he isn't NBA ready just yet. He can develop his game in College.

Absolutely should go to college. The step up from HS/Junior International ball is huge. Should spend at least 2 years in college, round out his game, put on some muscle and then put his name into a not so stacked draft class. Same goes for Simmons.

So what will our starting 5 look like in a few years?

PG Dellavedova
SG Exum
SF Simmons
C ?
PF ?

Mills to wave his towel on the pine!

 

[peternorth]

How's that funny? Draft Express tweeted that he scored 30 in the second half.

my bad. i read that as DE had him #3 first round, then at 20 in second round

Probably still Bogut at C. Not sure about PF though. Baynes maybe?

Imagine if Irving decides he wants to play for Australia, wow. Irving, Exum and Simmons on the same team

 

[mitchzz]

Blows past defenders so easily doesnt he

Irving does not want to play, and doubt he'll change his mind.

Crafty fella!

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

There will be a lot of Australian bandwagon fans for whichever team Exum gets drafted to.

I don't mind that though, at least it's not because of a star

 

[Upgrayedd]

Joe Inglis might end up in the NBA this year as well

 

[sojthebest]

Thon Maker at PF

 

[Wizard]

Thon Maker at PF

Was just about to come and post about him.

Currently #2 in ESPN top 100 for his class, #1 just had a full knee recon as well.

 

[Shade]

in like 10 years

Maker is looking top be a top 5 recruit outta HS in the us

 

[flaps]

I like the transition in the Australian basketball scene with the new crop of players. ll highly talented genetically gifted ballers. Maker looks a few years away still.

Class of 2016 from memory, so due to join the NBA in 2018 if he's one & done. He's a year below Simmons.
