Kevin Lisch - Australian Citizen??

What garbage. 31 is not too old.
For the Olympics you pick your best team, and if a 31 year old guy is at that time better than some 22 year old them they should go.
Lots of good talent coming through college and other pathways, but still not a hell of a lot of guards who can reliably knock down the 3, so Lisch's hat remains well and truly in the ring IMO.
His size is a factor against him. His age is most definitely not.

Just woke up from a dream that Peter Crawford made the Australian Olympic team and saw court time in London. Dream then morphed to next Olympics in which Kevin Lisch substitutes in for Crawford. This part of my dream was more symbolic than premonition as everyone knows that a shooting guard playing NBL wouldn't make an olympic team, especially Crawf!

Oh I also dreamt that Damian Martin played defence on two guys who's previous places of basketball employment had been with NBA clubs; they played either point guard or combo guard roles for the Melbourne Tigers. Damo did just fine against both these players in my dream.

Agree that some of the kids mentioned in the previous post should be given a chance to be Boomers, but I'm not going to completely dismiss the value of Kevin Lisch being a Boomer if he became available. K'Lisch has established himself as a marquee player in league that is recognised by other respected international leagues as being a particurly sound "Small ball centric" competition. Those young guys haven't broken through that ceiling just yet so Lisch would sit in front of them at this point in time (were he eligible).

He should be a Boomer before Gibbo for sure.

His wife (Rachel) is originally from Sydney FWIW.

Well, his naturalisation may not help the Cats but it would help the other teams competing for his services.

I suspect that a lot will rest on whether Bevo gets the Boomers job. If he does and he gives up the Cats role as a result then anything could happen.
There isn't a more stable group in the league, but Bevo is undoubtedly the key person holding it all together. If it breaks up then Lisch would have to be one of the guys who stands to gain the most financially by chasing his true value on the market so I could definitely imagine him leaving.

Not much impact for the Wildcats. We already have an import spot and it doesn't help our points or salary cap situation.
Good news for the Boomers though. I'd take him in the team over Gibbo.

Should be an aussie by the start of next season, just hope he stays a wildcat?
