College or NBL
Lewis, how many ex-college kids are back here and making an impact? Lucas Walker certainly isn't overwhelming - not much skill apart from his jumping ability.

A paid for college education plus learning your trade (obviously basketball in this case) in what is probably the best junior system on the planet or trying to make it as a young Aussie in the NBL...I think I know which path I'd choose.

I would have said the AIS are now taking in younger guys due to the introduction of the U17 world champs???!!! Exum got in as one of those younger guys just as 1 example...

Maric, Baynes, Ogilvy, Andersen, Jawai, Khazzouh, Shench.. That's 7 big men.. 9 teams.. Almost every game would be a epic big man match!! Which also means more open perimeter shots.. NBL would be a lot different.


College is not for everyone, but it has the added benefit of a free education for those offered scholarships and the chance to play the sport they love at the same time.

A lot of players these days go to College, get an idea of where they sit talent wise. Try to crack the draft, if they can't they come back. IE Walker, Allen, Bruce etc.
I think College should be the first option if you're a young player, it's a life style every player should experience if they can.
