Makur Maker u19 Boomers?

6'1 Lee / 6'1 MacDonald
6'6 Green / 6'4 Krause
6'7 Stattman / 6'6 Robertson
6'8 Bowen / 6'6 Leupepe
7'0 Froling / 6'9 Dalton

2 spots up for grabs I'd say, anyone's guess atm...

We don't have a lot of 6'10" guys outside of Dalton and Froling, but there are a ton of long, athletic, switchy wings available. Playing the right style of basketball, I don't think we'd really miss another big. Bowen can play above his size in the paint, too. I don't buy that Maker would be a lock, let alone best big available. It's easy to put together a mixtape that makes a player look impressive, and if you want to take the word of Thon and the guardian who kept Thon such an unknown quantity that he got drafted, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you...

It's going to be a very hard group to select. And that's despite the absence of guys like Capetola and Rantall.

Mayfield (ACT) and Richards (Tas) both making good cases for camp invites at u20s. But it is a stacked group and neither would make the final cut so probably doesn't really matter. Some very good players are going to miss out.

A rough depth chart? A lot of positional flexibility and plenty of arguments to be made for reordering some of the lines.
PG: Lee, McDonald, Wigness, Armstrong
SG: Green, Stattman, Krause, Goodrick, Clarke
SF: Robertson, Ducas, Swaka, Travers, Bairstow
PF: Froling, Bowen, Leaupepe, Kunen, Bannan, Williamson
C: Dalton, Hayes-Brown

(OP here)It definitely sounds like he deserves a spot. I'm not well versed on junior levels of play but I would have to imagine Maker would be the best big man available.

IIRC that article from Olgun came out after the u19 squad was announced. Is there a possibility perhaps that he declared his availability after the selection process and they're now looking to accomodate him on the squad?

Watching an u19 with Green and Maker would be the most interested I would be to watch junior Boomers ball since the Simmons/Exum squads. Hope it happens.

I asked the question in the othe thread, but no one had any knowledge as to why he wasn't chosen.

Froling anddalton are the only 2 legit bigs we have. The others are not up to scratch it seemswatching the u20 champs. It would be great if we could get him because he has been on fire lately.

Coming out of the Olympics Matt will be firing full of confidence and energy to improve. Last season delly averaged 15.5 PPG, 3.3 RPG and 6.4 APG which is super impressive however this season with the knowledge and confidence he has gained guarding the best in the word and the departure of Rob Jones who was the teams second highest scorer with 15 PPG I see delly taking the team on his shoulders and having a breakthrough season which will project him up the draft boards and who doesnt love another aussie in the NBA! 2012-2013 stats 18.2 PPG 4.5 RPG and 8.3 APG
