Boomers YouYi team named

I like that squad myself Anon...and I would have liek to have seen Broekhoff get some decent burn to show what he can provide to the team. There is still hope in games 2 and 3.

Nielsen will be a lock though - current captain and Brown's favourite.

Crawford scored 21 points..why should he be on his bike?

I live in NZ so didn't see the game.

Can you explain why he should be going?

So who starts from this group? Assuming you start your best 5

Boring Basketball Australia goes with;

Gibson (never got this?)
Martin
Barlow (jet lag) or Worthington
Neilsen
Baynes
?
Crap.

I like to Delladova ahead of either guards, 3,4 and 5 spots are good

You don't need a iPod to listen to a podcast. Just an internet connection.

The freezon (http://freezone.iinet.net.au/channels/freezone/sport/boomers-basketball) is something the NBL is looking at for possible NBL games in the future as well. I'm not 100% how far they are with it, but it has been thrown around.

Id say Broekoff and Drmic would have been going for the same position (Swingman type players, both similar height etc)

But with that been said I would have liked to see Drmic over Greenwood, simply because the Boomers need more players who are able to play 2/3 man (and who have good height)

Too many 'combo type guards' in there with Greenwood, Gibson, Delly and Martin.

I like the inclusion of PC because he is a legit 2 man, and the Boomers need more of those types of players.

Crawford won't be in London, enjoy Perth mate!

Kickert can shoot from beyond the arc, which is one of our weaknesses, but he is not a strong rebounder and does not have much of a defensive presence...

Greenwood has played with the Boomers program previously and this would have been a distinct advantage. Good to see him get a crack.

This is Crawford's big chance to put a case forward for inclusion in the Olympic squad.

For mine, the exciting inclusion is up and comer Ryan Broekhoff - reigning Horizon Leagie Conference Player of the Year. He is a serious athlete that does what is needed of the team, but he has a sweet stroke from well beyond the arc, and is willing to get dirty in the paint and rebound - both being current weaknesses of the team.

Khazzouh will be out to show what he can offer in comparison to sat Baynes and/or Maric.

Kickert would have to have a blinder of a series to get into contention for the final Boomers team for London.
