Brisbane boy Brock Motum dominates!

Nice call Vart. I too think that even if he gets drafted he will end up in Europe to begin with at the very least.

I am Mulatto so I am in some position to comment.

Its true. Im just the first to admit it.

If your not black, there is a common perception that your not athletic enough for the NBA.

Unfortunately, same thing will happen to Delly even though he is just as fast someone like Jamal Tinsley

I am not a racist in any way.

But if Motum was black, he would be a legit NBA prospect. No doubt thats a common perception in the US.

At the end of the day, I have seen him play a few times, and he is ridiculously good. Things I love about his game:

-Mobility: He can sprint out of screens and spot up. He can cut anywhere on the Court. He can get the ball at the mid-post, rip and go

-Body Control: Motum is able to move his body to avoid getting his shot blocked. He can slither in and around defences. Seen him use the euro-step really good.

-Inside and Outside Game: Had two seasons at WSU where he struck from beyond the arc at 40% and 39.7% over the year. His FG % over his last four years have been 59%, 56%, 55% and 50% for each season. He can take big guys inside and score, can operate out of the mid-post or take them right out to the 3-point line

There is no doubt that Motum is performing well, but he is not getting a lot of support from his teammates.

There is a chance he could be selected in the 2nd round of the draft.

You can follow his progress along with all the other Aussies playing D1 hoops in this thread:
