He got it! 16 points needed and does it in one quarter.
And they still lost lol.He got it! 16 points needed and does it in one quarter.
With the FIBA World Cup coming up in August, do people think Simmons will finally play for Australia?
He doesnt want to play basketball. I hate doing this but this year I think he has faked injuries and deliberately been pressuring guys to actually get called for fouls so he gets in foul trouble and is pulled off the court. It is one of the most weirdest things I have seen in sport. I dont think he really cares either. I would not be surprised if he isnt in the league after this contract unless he turns it around quickly. Dont believe he will get a long term contract again.With the FIBA World Cup coming up in August, do people think Simmons will finally play for Australia?

even at 35 id prolly still play ingles over matisseJosh Giddey with another triple double. 17 points, 17 assists and 11 rebounds. What a gun.
I reckon Australia's best starting five currently would be:
C - Jock Landale
PF - Matisse Thybulle (this is the biggest gap in the side as he is more a small forward)
SF - Josh Green
SG - Josh Giddey
PG - Patty Mills (more by default than anything but he isn't getting many minutes, this would have been Dyson Daniels but he got injured and hasn't set the world on fire since)
Then you have these guys on the bench, all NBA players:
Matthew Dellavedova
Dyson Daniels
Jack White
Ben Simmons (this guy is on the Milford career trajectory though sadly and you really would have to worry if he is around your squad as he is just so toxic)
There are some other young guys coming through the lower grades too which is exciting and there are a few ex-NBA players in:
Thon Maker
Aaron Baynes
Dante Exum
Funnily enough, aside from Landale, the tall stocks for Australia aren't great but there are a million good guards around.

couldn't happen to a more deserving guy lolMavs GONE! Meanwhile Brooklyn make playoffs. Kyrie Irving - Oof
