Boomers squad selected for Iran series

How much more firepower do we need?

We have 7 current/former Sydney Kings out there, should be enough. ; )

I'll be interested to see if Anstey can have an impact at the Olympics. I think he can, but we have to use him the right way - as a perimeter shooter who can stretch the defence to give Bogut some room to operate.

#189060 I'm just wondering why you think Ingles won't make it? IMO Goorjian should be doing everything he can to get Ingles as much intl experience as possible.

I'd actually like to see a 3 man rotation at the wing, with Worthington and Newley starting and Ingles spotting both of them.

I think those 3 guys, along with Bogut and Mills, need to get enough experience together, because they will give us our best chance at a medal sometime in the next 6 years or so.

Goorj has cut the Boomers squad down to 20...

Articles quotes:

"Goorjian decided to release Schenscher, Peter Crawford (Perth), Adam Gibson (Brisbane), Jacob Holmes (Dragons), Matthew Knight (Razorbacks) and Alex Loughton (Perth)."

IMO, no real surprises there.

I agree with most of you about Kendall and Hinder. Can't see that they are worth keeping around other than training fodder!

Surprised Darnell Mee is still in the mix. Great player, but he just seemed plagued by injuries this year and is not the future.

I'd prefer Mills starts against Iran and is given every chance to win the starting role for the Olympics. If he proves he is not ready then fall back to CJ.

Is Matty Nielsen really 209cm? I thought he was a bit shorter than that.

Has David Andersen made himself unavailable for the Iran series? Or is he trialling in the US for an NBA spot still? I would hope he makes the final Olympics team with his success in Europe.

When we get to the Olympics are people in favour of playing Bogut and Anstey together at C/PF ? I think it would be a decent combo, running our offence thru Bogut in the post and using Anstey as a spot up shooter or for weak side put backs.

Surround those two with Newley, Wortho and Ingles at the wing spots and we will have plenty of height and will spread the floor fairly well. (Nielsen too if he can hit the 3 - does he shoot this well enough?)

I'd use Nielsen, Andersen and Jawai as my bench bigs, and take Saville and Redhage for some experienced insurance at the wings. Could perhaps dump Sav if Ogilvy is really showing that he is a future core Boomer.

Kendall is crap, and Ryan and Harvey should miss out because they are no longer the future.

If we can get all our players to the Olympics and Goorj sets up a decent offence, I reckon we can have a pretty good tournament.

Cheers Isaac..

Glue guy or not, Hinder over a 7 foot CENTRE is a joke.

Good to see Harvey in there, when everyone here though boy goorj would not pick him..Him and Ryan look like the only shooters there though..
