Could Cameron Bairstow make the NBA?
Bairstow was named co-Mountain West Player of the Week!

Drmic was unwell. It was not worth risking him against an inferior opponent and hence he was rested.

Right now, the best Aussie prospect in college hoops is Anthony Drmic, followed by Cam Bairstow. Why? Drmic still has another year of college to go (after this season) and has excelled every season. Bairstow has just made the jump to starter late last season and is now excelling at a high level.
However, if Bairstow can take his current outstanding form into the NCAA tournament, then I would expect to see his name in the NBA draft...
Here are the numbers to date:
Bairstow - Lobos (7-1)
19.8p, 7.1, 2.8a, 1.5b, 55.1%FG
Drmic - Broncos (8-0)
20.4p, 5.1r, 1.9a, 2.7s 48.9%FG

His stats would certainly suggest he has more than a chance. 19ppg
Whether his game is suited to the NBA is another thing.
Better college stats than Baynes but Baynes was a legit C.
Bairstow is 6"9/6"10. Does he have the foot speed to defend 4s?
