I agree that Aus is worlds behind Euro and the US. But 2012 is a long way away. And lets just remember that the Australian Basketball Team is in a Development phase at present and will surely improve on its 7th position at Greece.
And failure to reach potential isn't a valid factor with the likes of Newley and Bogut. As they both possess a work ethic second to none. This is why Australia now has a real hope of its first No. 1 Draft pick in A.Bogut. And Newley is obviously about to take over the NBL with his intensity at both ends of the court. So lets be optimistic here and hope that injury doesn't get in the way of Aussie success.
My point here being that Basketball Australia and its affiliate Associations are heading in the right direction. Just a bit of positive feed back from a supporter looking past the results of the current squad.
