The kid is 15, by the time he is 22, Matisse will be 32. He’s a long way off.

I can't see how Matisse would be likely to be retired from international basketball by then.

 

[Royces Hart]

I can't see how Matisse would be likely to be retired from international basketball by then.

And at 22, it would be a stretch to imagine this kid making an impact at international level as a big.

My point being, their Boomers careers will barely overlap, they are different generations.

I'll completely disagree I think Thybulle will be one playing till his mid 30's as he is such a great athlete. My points actually that a young athletic shot blocker could make an impact early in their career with the Boomers as that's all where missing. Im saying I think we have a special player developing here.

Cavaliers rookie Luke Travers generates buzz following impressive summer league debut: ‘He blew me away’

The 6-foot-7 Travers, who will be stashed overseas for at least another year because of his rawness and Cleveland’s roster crunch, did a little bit of everything in his first NBA action. He scored six points, grabbed five rebounds, dished out three dimes and swatted five shots (he says his...

He scored six points, grabbed five rebounds, dished out three dimes and swatted five shots (he says his career-high is four). And he did it all while playing just 24 minutes."

...then watched film from Travers’ season with the Perth Wildcats in the New Zealand Basketball League.

I saw that lol

He’ll have some good overlap with the other two mentioned regardless, provided they all develop well.

Duop Reath the most impressive of our NBL guys in their Summer League debuts, he had 11 points and 7 boards in just 16 minutes.

Who's he playing for?

 

[JT_the_Man]

Who's he playing for?

Phoenix, alongside Jo Lual-Acuil and DJ Vasiljevic.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Found this in the NBL thread, thought it was worth putting it here. Don’t really think he’ll get another go, but would be cool to see.

A sprained ankle is a disaster. Way to click bait, Foxsports.

His lateral movement on D is a sight to behold. Giddey with another good turnout for OKC, no noticeable improvement in his 3 however.

Summer League updates from todays action -

Jack White and Luke Travers went head to head today.

White - 8pts, 15rebs, 3blks, 2asts, 1stl in 20 mins.
Travers - 3pts, 7rebs, 2asts, 2stls in 21 mins.

The 3 Phoenix boys - Duop Reath got the start but injured himself (hyperextended his leg it sounds like) after 2 and a half minutes. Managed a 2 and a board in those 2 minutes. JLA and DJ both played about 7 minutes. JLA had 6pts, 2rebs, 1stl while DJ hit a three and dropped a dime.

The 2 Chicago boys - Akoldah Gak played 12 minutes and had 2pts and 3rebs. Makur Maker played 3 minutes and didn't impact the stat sheet positively.

Thought Jack White played great. Bought so much energy, continually ran the length of the court, chased every rebound like a mofo and his defense was outstanding.

 

[larrikin]

Haha

Does that mean he comes back to the Cats next season? I presume so?

Sounds like he might have emerged as a candidate for a two-way spot.

Who white play for

 

[matthew_s]

Who white play for

white play nuggets

That's how I read it unless they send him to Europe to get different experience.

 

[Luuuc]

I don't think he's ready for an import spot in a decent European league, so playing there would only hinder his development IMO.
Another NBL season under a coach that isn't ScoMo seems like the wisest move to me.

 

[Tesla Tenet]

I may be a bit hard but Giddey is a 'chucker'.

His action is a bit of a push and the extension appears to change at times.

Elite actions in every sport requires a pure or clean repetitive action.

Once that skill is obtained only then can you start changing parts of the action.

He will have good days but not overall.

Looks like Dante has rejected what I assume was roughly 30 NBA offers and instead signed with Partizan for next year. It'll be interesting to see whether he gets a larger role than with Barca and whether he can become 'the man' or at least something close to it.

Duke bound proctor is getting court time in the Asia cup and leading aus for scoring with 14 late in the fourth.

Has shown some very good signs.
