Where will Bowen go in the draft?

Thunder just exercised their option on Ferguson.

I suspect that if he doesn't show enough development by the end of that year (which would be the end of his YEAR 3), he may be unemployed and looking for a new team.

Yeah, I look forward to NBA commentators recognising the NBL as they do with rookies' colleges, viz; "the rebound/pass/shot came from Bowen out of the Australian NBL" (instead of "out of Oklahoma/Ole Miss/UCLA" etc). Ferguson already got a bit of that. All helps!

I think thybulle at pick 55 has Aussie citizenship. Could be interesting. Lived here as a kid or something..

Bowen is looking really capable. Big jump from Ferguson who didn't contribute much and played a really passive style. Looks like he hasn't changed that much with OKC - 3 PPG as a starter. 8% 3P and 50% FT so far this season.

At 20 Bowen is looking more "pro ready" than most 23 year old 4-year college imports.

20 is still young in draft age... Bowen is a better player, Ferguson is a better athlete but Bowen is more of a complete player. Ferguson has had over a year training with an NBA franchise. Paul George, Westbrook etc.. You're an idiot if you think Ferguson is a better player. If anything with the increased standard in the NBL it would be harder for Bowen but he is playing very well.

Bowen is 18 months older than Ferguson was in his NBL season. Ferguson was 18 years old in his first NBL game and Bowen 20. I’d expect Bowen to be doing better than Ferguson was, on that basis alone.

As I said in another thread, if Bowen was on the OKC roster today, I think he'd start over Ferguson.

Terrance Ferguson was selected in the first round. Bowen has already displayed way more than what Ferguson did.. I reckon first round pick 20-30

Wow imagine if he cracks into the first round.

What a great advertisement that would be for NBL, sadly the Sydney Kings, but the NBL nonetheless.

I reckon up, he's been really impressive so far and only going to improve

I am certain the Melbourne Tigers had the domain www.melbournetigers.com.au, but this no longer appears to be the case. Anyone know when they gave it up and why?
