Boomers and Opals 2021

Never called them a bust, just show minimum. You play with the players around you, good players adapt. Since you seem to have all the inside information, let’s see the list. I do agree with you about a lot changes in a few years. There is a a few 25/28 year olds that seem to go under the radar.

Whitcombs doing pretty good in the euroleague, hard to choose between her and Mitchell with another year added.

Vasljevic will first need to get himself a professional contract and second prove himself against men before he should even come into the conversation, Drimic, McVeigh, Naar all very highly rated college players that have shown minimum.

Vasljevic is not lightning quick like patty.

Vasljevic can’t defend and is barely 6’2.

Humphries left the aba league because he never played unless the game was over then he got a few minutes.

Some tough decisions to make post 2021.
I think only mills will survive for those older than 1990.

That means finding solid players to replace Bogut, Baynes, Ingles and Goulding.

At centre we have Landale, Humphries, Maker, Magnay and mathiang as the potential options to replace Baynes n bogut.
Maker n Magnay may be better suited to pf though.

Ingles is the tough replacement, we have Creek, Adel, Noi, green and Thybulle.

Goulding is another tough cover, only cotton has the same shooting ability, green and Thybulle are elite defensively but aren’t elite shooters.

Thybulle over Exum though

21 - (Unknown)Asia Cup
21- Tokyo Olympics
23 - Phillipines/Japan/Indonesia World Cup
24 - Paris Olympics
25 - (Unknown)Asia Cup
27 - (Unknown)World Cup
28 - (Unknown)Olympics


23 WC is the cut off I think, I don’t see Anyone older than 1990 playing beyond this.
Bogut won’t be there and No Baynes, Ingles, Goulding most likely. Mills 50/50 I reckon at 35y.o

24 Olympics could be the cut off for Delly, broekhoff. Both 34 in 24 although plenty of other options available.

25 Asia cup for creek, Kay, cotton. All born 92, 33 in 25 but will be 35 in 27, possibly too old.

27 Lots of players in prime, those 95 to 98 and many youngsters to come in, those born 00, 01, 02, 03

28 same as above

Every one is entitled to an opinion but Thon Makur is a bust, I wish some you people watch him in the nba.

Wonder if the Olympic's schedule-change to 2021 will affect Bret Brown's involvement.

Delly and Broekhoff are the same age. Both 30 this year, Cotton is 2 years younger, 28 this year.

I don’t see green in the squad, it could be a couple of years before we see him in a Boomers jersey, has to wait for mills, cotton, Thybulle, ingles, Broekhoff to drop out, even creek.

The next squad without all the vets
All U25
96 Simmons / 95 Exum / 98 Mcdowell-White etc
97 Thybulle / 02 Giddey / 02 King etc
00 Green / 97 Adel / 97 Noi etc
98 Magnay / 96 Bolden / 95 Cooks etc
95 Landale / 97 Maker / 98 Humphries etc
We lookin good for the future if our guards can shoot the 3 at a good clip.

Spain have some really nice young players also. We,don’t hear of them much because they play in Europe.
The amount of French prospects is unbelievable...They have about 5 guys in each mock draft for the next 5 years.

Still quite a few men under 25. Plenty of talent available for the future in comparison to the women

Yeah I think we need Cole and Kunek in the lineup.
George is no longer a pf, she and Tolo should be battling for the backup centre spot.
I would like to see a smaller lineup with Cambage in the middle surrounded by 4 perimeter players. That would mean more of Talbot, Allen or Kunek playing the 4and adding a better 2 like Whitcomb or Cole.

Magnay could take Boguts spot pushing Landale to Centre.

00 Makur maker not 98 matur maker or 06 mapur maker

I think when all is said and done, having to put up with an extra 12 months of these threads will be the single worst thing covid-19 does to us.

That's right, even worse than it gifting Perth a title.

So many over hyped players in those lists. Thankfully and hopefully the selectors got some idea. Creek is far better than half that list.

Croc and president of the NBL players association, Jacob Holmes says a community model similar to Wollongong and Cairns might keep the club alive.
