Sturt Sabres 2016/17 Trials 28th August

I happened across a Youtube video today of OZ97, you remember don't you, that was the Under 22 World Basketball Championships where Australia won the Gold Medal by beating a stacked Argentina (with Manu 'Geno Billy') and Oberto, and a US team that included Corey Brewer, Brad Miller, Pat Garrity, Andre Miller, and Mike Doleac (doesn't sound that impressive now that I have written it down) along the way.

Anyway watching Sam Mackinnon I can't help thinking he would have been something special (by Australian standards at least) in the NBA. He was such a great athelete and had a superbly well rounded game. He was also one of the only Australian players, I can remember, that could match the better Americans athletically, Simon Dwight, and Mark Bradke were two others that come to mind.

I have always thought it was a missed opportunity that he never played in the NBA.
