Article in West: Footy Trumps Basketball

Three country Vic basketball players drafted whom I know and wish all the best - Tom Doedee to Adelaide, Darcy Tucker to Fremantle and Tommy Cole to West Coast weer all guards when they played hoops.

It was interesting to hear during the AFL draft Sheehan talking it up about how many talls were being drafted, especially early on. He made mention that it was great to see these tall kids choosing football ahead of basketball.

Obviously he was not referring to the above mentioned former State guards. So, I have tried to determine which kids may have given up a possible college career in basketball that were talls picked up in the AFL draft, but I am not aware of any.

Does anyone else possibly know if there were some decent basketballers with height other than those I have mentioned who were picked up in the draft this week?

Or was Sheehan just blowing some hot wind, trying to say basketball was poaching footballers, really!??
