Boomers Closed training session

[Billyhoyle]

Just got home from a closed boomers training session.

Great session to see, coaches were great -doing sessions afterwards.

Mills is a freak, so so quick.
Jawai is a monster. I think we need to take him especially without Bogut
Kickert - can shoot, looks soft, probably one to miss out
Broekhoff - should take Barlows spot, but unlikely
Crawford - looks unlikely but could be picked as an outside shooter
Gibson - An excellent PG, composed, should get the role ahead of Martin
Barlow - Basketball jesus, over rated, should be taking a younger guy instead of him.
Baynes - big and liked, but andersen and maric should be ahead of him
Maric - Huge, has to get the backup C ahead of Baynes.
Dellavedova - awesome young talent. Right attitude and attacks everything.
Ingles - Light sessions as he has only just got back from Spain. Shot the lights out though.
Martin - I think he misses out on a guard spot.
Newley - Can play and quick.
Neilsen - Needed for experience, still not convinced by him.
Worthington - Looked to be struggling a bit. Will be picked for experience.

Jawai is HUGE HUGE HUGE.
His head is about 4 basketballs in size.
Looks ok, but is always going to struggle with fitness.

Jawai was just there for scrimmage or is he in the team? Thought I seen a tweet saying he was going back home or something.

lol yeah i know i met him in 2010.

Shame bout his fitness, he seems to have a lot of trouble with that aspect of being a professional.

Yeah Hawaii just there for training.

My guess the 3 to miss out -
Damian Martin
Ryan broekhoff
Aron baynes
