Draft Express: Adel tops at Adidas Nations

^^ there you go - two sources that you would hope would be reliable. One lists him at 200cm, the other 198cm?

So, according to them, he's either 6'6" or not quite 6'7"

But does it really matter, for all of them?

What matters is what they can do. So sit back and watch the progress of these young guns. They'll either make it or they won't.

If they do, we'll enjoy watching their progress.

He could have had it all

rolling in the deep

I'd say the man is 6'6 220 lol

Anon #288 that web site is grossly inaccurate. A tabloid at best and a forum quality opinionated source of information at worst.

He is 100% not 6'7", but he is a very talented kid who could definitely play for the Boomers one day.

Jack White is 6'5" tall with great hops and very athletic and is a small forward, not a power forward. Those are the facts, not sure why you are relying on some questionable online source like 24-7 Sports for your information, try looking elsewhere for the facts if that is what you are after.

Adel one hand huge dunk

Okay, great kid and very talented anon, but he is 6'5" and 195, no need to exaggerate it.

Jack White (duke) 6'7 225lbs

Who is 6'7" White?

Simmons will probably be starting sf next olympics with most likely broekhoff as backup.
Simmons being able to play multiple positions means only 1 spot is up for grabs.

1 of 6'7 Adel, 6'7 White, 6'10 bolden and 6'8 Cooks. The latter 2 being combo forwards.

And Motum was great in the game against Spain.

Yet another great baller from Melbourne ;)

Don't see how he compares to Motum or Bairstow but will be on shortlist for next Olympics

Adidas Nations is a wonderful opportunity for some young talent to shine.

What I have found is that there is always a huge disparity between high school age kids and those in college who attend.

He may have shone against much younger opponents at an event like this, just saying, not that he can't play but perspective is also important.

Adel is a small forward, not a power forward. He's nothing like bairstow or motum.

Well he isn't going to play for South Sudan, and he probably will never reach the level needed to play for the USA. I think if he wants to play internationally, Australia is the only real option

Now this cat has a lot of potential, can crash the boards and run the floor and projects as a strong second or third scoring option. Lots of upside!!! BUT WHAT HE IS LISTED AS SOUTH SUDAN! He came up in Australia and SHOULD PLAY FOR US. I WILL BE MAD IF HE DOESNT!

Awesome, great stuff Deng! Thanks for sharing.

Adel has the skill sets, athleticism
and upside that bairstow and motum can only dream of. Motum and bairstow were pretty bad in Rio

He should be in the next Boomers squad but I don't think you can call Motum and Bairstow 'ineffective'.

I gotta say, I love hearing that another young potential Boomer is out there getting it happening. Has he already said that he has national team aspirations?

Found this article in the Herald Sun about David Stiff's work with Collingwood. Thought a few people here might find it interesting:

If winning the Grand Final replay is to be largely a mental task, then Collingwood will be looking to David Stiff for answers and help.

Stiff is not only Collingwood's high-performance manager, his portfolio includes player psychology - and his own sporting achievements stack up with anybody, given he won a record six NBL championships during his basketball career.
