Joe Ingles MAY not go to Rio

So , his wife is captain of Tbirds netball team and they are expecting twins, a boy and a girl, in august.....

Eh??

' I don't mind if you know about me. I'm going to Rio , coming back for the birth of a basketballer and a netballer. Then going back agen to win a medal. '

Only options are...

Martin or Gibson
Or
Move mills to backup and start lisch at sg.

So who do you have come in for Exum then as the back up 1 (presuming Dellavadova starts)?

"Would not count on Exum either."

Neither would I, but I also wouldn't count on Exum making the team on merit anyway.

I suppose it may depend, as time gets closer, when the doctor thinks the twins will arrive.
Twins can be very difficult to predict. I think typically they are earlier than singles, and sometimes the OBGYN prefers to deliver them earlier, for their own benefit.

I imagine his wife will want him there at the birth, and he would want to be there also.

Would not count on Exum either. You would assume the Jazz would not be supportive of him coming back right on time and playing for the national team straight away.

Joe Ingles Hates Australia

No goulding and newley please.
Call up Thon Maker and Deng Adel into the boomers squad instead.

Interesting emphasis on the word MAY...

If so?

Delly/exum
Mills/Lisch/Goulding
Broekhoff/Newley
Anderson/bairstow/motum
Bogut/baynes

He said before on a podcast that it should effect it, wouldn't read too much into it

North-Woodville @ Hillcrest
M: Ground control to Major Tom, you're all clear for takeoff. Ziggy and crew will cruise to an easy win. Apologies to DB.
W: A Woodies win will kill Rockettes season, but this is Unlikely. North should stay alive with Tigers chasing them ready to pounce.
Lions-Eagles @ STARplex
M: Eagles likely to end 5th face a team still in the blocks. Battle of imports to be a highlight.
W: top v bottom. I reckon time spent cleaning under the fridge might be better use of your time.
Mavs-Panthers @ MB 
M; season over, highlight for Panthers could be Maccas on the way home after a loss. Plenty of banjos playing proudly on Sat night.
W: Only question is how many will Tess bag? Can Ben go better? Mavs should ice the win and rename court.
Cats-Sabres @ Pt Misery
M: GOTR with 1v 2. likely to go to wire. Bradley Bearcat will find it harder this week against those blue badgers who need to leave their handbags home. Cats might edge them out in a physical game.
W: Sabres on the backfoot IMO. Bearcats to go out hard should go into halftime ahead and will face a second half onslaught to just hold on.
Tigers-Flames @ Siberia
M: the best thing about a visiting team like Flames to Morphett Vale is educating the young on the latest European cars available. Rather than play a game, just call it to the Flames and let them show off their wheels.
W: Tigeressess still alive and even with  a loss can still threaten for 5th. They should not be underestimated and might pull a suprise. Only variable is who the Flames put on court.
