Who is the best all-time Aussie in the NBA?
Simmons will be but Ingles will be a legend forever

Who's had the best career?
Bogut, by a mile.
Who's had the best individual season?
Simmons.

It's Ben Simmons but it could have been Andrew Bogut if it wasn't for that awful incident where he slipped off the ring and landed on his arm when he played for the Milwaukee Bucks. Bogut was never the same offensively after the injury and killed the momentum that he had going at that point during his career and largely ended his tenure with the Bucks as he no longer was a franchise player. He definitely would have played in the all-star game for years to come if it hadn't been for the injury.
Luc Longley wasn't near the realms of Bogut and Simmons and largely benefited from playing on a great team. Any decent centre could have filled his role. He was a good passer for his size and he served his role well but that's where it ends. I will give him some credit though as he played in the golden years for the NBA big man and had to go up against tough competition during that period (Shaq, Olajuwon, Robinson, Ewing etc)


Longley started at bad culture franchise at the time, Simmons has picked his way through every level from schools to colleges to his nba team coach. He can be great but has not over taken Longley or Bogut yet. Being part of championship teams is everything in team sports and both Longley and Bogut have done that. Simmons could not even get his college team to the play offs.

Makur should not be ahead of Anstey or Anderson.
Bogut, Mills and Longley have been excellent.

Game two is tonight at 7:30, Perth time. Wildcats are favourites with bookies despite an average effort in the first game. A win tonight by the home team would send the series to a rightful third game and an excellent total crowd count.
14,000 are expected tonight which would have to be one of the best in a long time?
If you're on the East coast, you can watch it live on One HD at 9:30pm. In SA/NT, it's also at 9:30pm, but delayed 30 minutes. Stay off social media to avoid spoilers, if that matters to you.
For our NZ contributors, live on Sky Sport at 11:30pm your time.
Should be epic. Perth have it all on the line now. Can they win it to force the decider or will NZ sweep them?
