One time ago I played a bitta juniors ..
There were a few Vasljevics , Jonavicacass , Jonutass , Akermaniss playing sa state juniors pretty good..
(i was in the squads , but not quite good enough for the teams... )

Div three junior player who suddenly got heaps of minutes in premier league.

^ never heard of him

AJ Cunningham, ask his dad

Wassim Arabi

Sam johns was playing QBL this season

Those juniors who played the Supercats during the 1988 NBL pre-season looked awesome.

So what happened to him?

Only played six games as a DP for the Sixers???

First saw this kid at Dandenong, wasn't even the tallest and wasn't very good. Almost a decade later he was almost 7 ft and dominating at a Sandringham tryout. He's still in the NBA now...

What happened to him?

Seems like a lot of these players peak way too early, don't even play pro ball?

Pretty sure Riley Curtis averaged nearly 40 a couple years back at 14 clubs. Is he in this discussion?

alex ducas

and then? NO AND THEN!

Luke Mackay.

Flat out scorer. Absolutely destroyed Teams. Gave Anthony Stewart 50 when playing for u20 WA State Team versus a Wildcats squad (no imports or big names)

Averaged over 40 a Game in WABL in u18s. Led Nationals in Scoring in 18s and 20s too I believe.

Chris Blakemore, didn't have the height but the strength was off charts, Charles Barkley like. Defenders would just bounce of him on putback dunks, think about six five. Pity injuries derailed his nbl career.

^^ Is your name Nic Campbell?

I played a mixed scrimmage against Lauren Jackson before I knew who she was, I would guess she was around 14 at the time. Definitely knew who she was following that.

Best junior I've ever seen though is probably Matty Nielsen. I think he dropped 50 points on us in high school, although it felt like 100.

Great thread.

Brandon Mann or Andrew Gooche or Adrian Dartnall

All brilliant juniors

^^^ Brilliant.

/thread

Andrew vlahov. could play all positions from the point guard to center.
not only against his age group but against men.
he was dominating men at 16-17years of age.
was a mean son of a bitch as well, had swagger ,athletic, inside -outside
winner.

Yep.

Kyle Adnam
Daylight
Zac Delaney

me too. never thought I would see someone better than Zac Delaney but it is happening right before my eyes!

Kyle Adnam is the best junior I've ever seen play NBL.

At what age was Ben at Knox? His u16 nationals were among the best I've seen. Wigness too.

Jacob Holmes up there for best SA junior.

Ben Simmons at Knox, period.
He made entire teams look like they belonged in Regional against him.

"Aaron Trahair"

He was an awesome junior, he had so much potential.

Sadly he was lazy and didn't put in the hard yards (I also don't think he has ever eaten a healthy meal in his life) to become a successful pro

Patty Mills, Ben Simmons, Tamuri Wigness

Simmons at Knox

Jack Watts, wonder how far he could have gone if stuck with it.

Sammy Davis

Being from NSW:

Boy. Steve Markovic. Absolutely unstoppable in his junior days

Girl. Rachel Watman (now Lisch). Toughest kid I've ever seen of either sex

Luka Doncic

Andrew Gaze, Frank Drmic & Patty Mills.

Reports on Wildcats web site that Bogut contacted the Cats in intrested to play for them. I think he played for Bevo alongside Martin Robbins and Kight with the Emus. Having a owner like Jack Bennett wouldn't hurt with his Billions of dollars .
