Ben Simmons is 'non commited - apparently' to Rio.

"What are the post-draft schedules of NBA players like"

Well Vegas Summer League is July 10-20, so that could clash with training camp or some lead-in games.

Simmons bleeds yellow and gold. Future nba all star

Future nba star yes ...... Bleeds yellow and gold .....no

As for not being able to play usa because he's represented aus, of course he can if that's what he wants, playing as a junior or under 18yrs of age, once he turns adult it changes everything

"You do all understand that Ben Simmons could have an American passport so could also play for USA..... Get over him he a kid, let him live his life and fo what HE wants"

nope, Ben Simmons has already represented Australia against NZ at a senior level as has Dante Exum. He can't play for the USA.

I think with any players coming through of Simmons' calibre, its best to presume that they won't be available for Aus commitments and any appearance is a bonus.

Right now its the other way around. People presume that they will play and are shocked when they can't.

When Steve made the NBA, I thought here we go. It's Sean Marks all over again. But that's not a bad thing. He is representing NZ and doing our country proud, just not whilst wearing a TB uniform.

I know it sounds silly but the good he will do for our country over the next few years in the NBA will simply outweigh turning up for a tournament and getting a place or two higher. Sure they can co-exist but if you had the choice, i would rather see 10 years of Steve at OKC than a few tournament appearances.
