Rocco looked very impressive tonight, although not with much opposition due to some over zealous wannabe referees.

Anyone got any thoughts about the Rollers?

Seems this Paralympics is a bit of a rebuild but some good young talent coming through

He won’t make it. Seen him play live several times for the Wildcats. Even if he becomes an elite shooter, the rest of his game is NBL standard

Delly had a decent career, reckon he has that in him.

The annual Ben Simmons training clip has been released with him shooting 3s. I don't know why he bothers.

I still support Ben despite his issues, I hope he plays for the Boomers one day (on the teams terms). But he has to have some self-awareness that these clips make him a running joke.

Just put your head down and do the work son, don't try to claim you can shoot 3s when you refuse to do so in game.

His shot still looks funky as. Elbow waaaayyyy out to the side. Don’t trust it to hold up at all.

He won’t shoot it, so won’t have to worry about it not holding up.

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

Emmett Adair is shaping as an interesting prospect coming through. He's 206cm and could still be growing. He has really improved in recent times and is a big who can shoot the three.

At the recent Asian Championships he was MVP despite limited minutes in the first 2 games where he scored just 11 points in total.

Very on-brand for Dante

Dante is cursed

Jack McVeigh gets the offensive rebound on a deliberate missed free throw and hits 2 to send the game to OT.

Can't find a decent clip of the full sequence online just yet, but give it a day and it should be posted.

It's all I've seen online, it's great.

Give him the spot.

Kyrie entertaining the idea of playing for Australia again if he's not selected for USA.

I would love to entertain playing for Team Australia, man.

I don’t think it’s a strong, strong possibility at this point, depending on what the Olympic Committee does. But as a competitor, I was born in Australia. For me, it’s not a hard transition to make, but I don’t want to fall into the same, I would say, probably like — I’m trying to be very intentional with my words here. I don’t want to fall into the trap of being let down or disappointed when I know that there are other opportunities out there for me.

Nah, Australia has a good team culture. Kyrie is the antithesis of that. It doesn't matter how good he is at basketball. The guy is a spanner and a locker room cancer.

 

[Royces Hart]

Don’t think Kyrie would risk falling off the edge of the world to play here.
