With our pick Houtson selects...

Houston Rockets select Brad Newley, Guard, Australia.

 

Me being an Aussie I coudnt be happier for the guy. Hopefully he can show them what he can do. He wouldve made a pretty good pick for us aswell.

I don't mean this in a negative way.

 

But I hear Australia has one of the best women basketball players.

 

I think this is one of the first times I heard about an Aussie playing in the NBA. Is it?

What about Bogut?

[spenny 0]

True Aussie women basketball players are some of the best in the world (behind US women)

 

But Andrew Bogut was the #1 pick and he is an Australian.

.... I see.

 

I hear Bogut is half Serbian though...

 

(I feel so stupid, how could I forget the #1 draft pick)

^^ Bogut was born to Croatian immigrants in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

What about Luc Longley winning with the Bulls

[spenny 0]

^^ yes the first Australian to play in the NBA but i mentioned Bogut becuase hed be probally known more for being the #1 pick. There was also Shane Heal who played for the Spurs, Luke Schenscher who played for the Bulls,Chris Anstey and Andrew Gaze. Im not sure if theres anyone else but if ive missed anyone then ohwell. The point is there have been Australians play in the NBA.

We could have picked Mejias with that pick, a tall PG who is very athletic.

^^ We couldve done alot with that pick instead of getting cash for it.
