Yes Mick, countless posts and topics on here regarding whether he would play for Australia or not. Glad he didn't in the end, our guards were quite good.
I like Baynes as a back up for Bogut, and play Andersen exclusively as a stretch 4. Wasn't a fan of him before the olympics, thought he was too soft. Have changed my opinion now though.
Plus Delly to Baynes is a money play!

Now there's is someone I missed - Mitch Creek!
As for Simmons, he is on my list. Maker is not yet on the national teams radar and hence I have left him off for now.
Although promising, Duncan is not on my radar yet as he would be too small at this level unless he has a major growth spurt between now and then.
Norton is not yet at this level of consideration, although within 2 years he could be.
As for Newley, I have him as a borderline lock. It all depends on team style and how well some of the younger guys emerge or not.
As for Baynes, if Bogut plays, will we need him? That's why he is not yet a lock for mine but if Bogut is not available, then Baynes moves into a lock role.

James Harvey picks up the first award for the Blaze after being named Player of the week for round 2.
Harvey averaged 25.5 points and 3.5 boards but shot 64 % from the field and 69% from the perimeter.
11 of 16 3's over 2 games is pretty sweet shooting.
Personally I thought Loughton should have got it, but good choice still.
