Dellavedova, Motum, Broekhoff in the NBL?

He's not a short point guard!

Delly is a very good chance at an NBA gig - but seriously - who knows? One could also make an argument that Motum's game is more suited to the NBA tha in college, whilst for mine, Broekhoff's game better translates to the NBA that the other two IMO.

In any case, if any of these three do not crack the NBA, they will get big $$$ from Europe and I doubt we will see any of them back in the NBL any time soon unless due to personal/family reasons.

For mine, I don't want any of them drafted in the 2nd round of the NBA draft as it limits their opportunity to make the big time. I would rather see them as a free agent to giver them the best chance to work their way into contention on a suitable program.

Bruce never had half the basketball IQ or work ethic of Dellavedova so I'm not too keen on that comparison. If he doesn't make the NBA, which is probably the likely outcome IMO, then he's quite capable of running a good quality European team. Aside from his lack of quickness he really does tick every other box on the checklist for a top point guard.
Put him on a team that doesn't rely on him as heavily as the Gaels currently do and he gets even better IMO. eg. He's not blessed with great inside targets right now, which results in him having to force more offence on his own than he should have to. That's not his forte.

I could see the other 2 potentially playing NBL though.
