Thon Maker won't play for Australia at U19's
He was never australian to begin with so really free to play anywhere they will accept him. But the age issue is the same with all these refugees.

Hey LC small error to amend on the page.
"The 2015 FIBA U19 World Championship (Men) will be held in Heraklion, Greece from July 27 to July 5.
Insert June 27 to July 5
Cheers and thanks for the update

I know you've got to look after your career and he's set to earn quite a bit, but being scared to take on the best in the world for the sake of not wanting to get shown up, isn't a trait that I'd be looking for in a player...
You look at the guys we've got in the NBA now, Ingles, Patty, Banes, Delly, they haven't shrunk from challenges, they've gone up against them and thrived all the better for it...
Exum sort of took the opposite path to Maker in that he didn't have the competition against less skilled high school kids but did well on the International stage and THEN was like "we're not showing what he can do until he's drafted". Bogut I guess took the standard drafting path, but even then didn't shy away from International competition until injury concerns, if I'm not mistaken?
It just stinks of the guardian and looking after the bottom dollar...

it has gone a bit quiet out there so i thought i would see if anyone has got any good stories (true)
re - basketball,famous people etc.
i'll start with the time when woody harrilson and myself nearly traded blows on a b'ball court in far north qld.(he was out here doing the movie 'thin red line')
in the heat of the moment, i told him i didnt give a f##k how many movies he had made !!!
to this day my mates still cant believe i said that to him!!
