You obviously never saw him beast the NBL.
He's qot incredible agility for a guy his size and is coming off some injuries. There's a reason he's playing in Europe.
Hopefully he'll get back to 100%. He made some nice moves last night and passes well out of the post.

A couple of observations from last night
* We looked rusty as hell. Like a team that had never played together
* Mills, Mills, Mills - guy is flat out class. We would have struggled without him (As the commentators said - is he on limited minutes?)
* Webster came to play big time
* Bogut looked lost. Tried to force a few things, looked to get frustrated. I'd like to see us run more of Andersen and Bogut together
* Confidence in Delly is incredible - guess playing with Bron does that for you.

At 21 he was averaging 17 and 10 in the NBL.
He bounced around the nba for a couple years then went to Europe. He had some awful neck injury recently. But he's a beast. His quickness and agility is still there, that alley oop should've been gobbled up, but he can ball.

Nice summary. We also missed Ingles who is our best playmaker.
I agree, Bogut and Anderson more would be great. I'm not sure Patty is on mins restriction as much as he might have come off the bench due to him not being picked in the squad after the spurs wanted to hold him out of the training camp.
I just love watching Delly play.
I'm a huge fan of the haka, but I think it turns disrespectful when they get that close to the players. Even though it makes for excellent viewing.

Yeah good point about Jingles.
I think the Australian's actually made the Haka look more confronting by standing right on half way, they could easily have stood, respectfully, on the foul line
This is where I find it a bit more than just a "cultural" thing to do.
The haka used to just be in one spot. Now they start on their 3 point line and walk all the way down and over the half court.
NZ would have walked all the way down to where Australia was even if they were standing back.
At the end of the day, as long as we win, I'm not too fussed and it does make for great tv.

Couldn't believe how close they were for the Haka for sure! One of the guys got up in the face of one of the Aussie guys too right at the end of it

Games tonight (i believe they are actually showing it on GOOGLE lol i saw something say that this morning).
The Haka cannot go past halfway, Australia is the only country who stands proud against it and "challenges" them as they should.
Webster is a god! my mate is the Assistant Coach for the Tall Blacks and we meet up earlier in the day with him sadly did not get to hang out with the boys this time around (pre shoot around time) but my mate said that Bogut and Mills hate each other (after viewing them all game i only saw them once high five each other or show any sort of love and that was the announcing of the australian team) so their could be truth to that as they did not sync at all during the game (was Boguts alley oop from Mills ? i cannot remember).
I also got on TV and the big screen with a Instagram of me and my two mates (my instaname is @StevenAdamsisMVP it was lol to see haha.
